They say Anka-B will be produced in near future, is this true? Are there going to be armed versions aswell?

Bro armed version of Anka still is a mystery. Anka-B will be produced with integrated SAR radar. For armed version, some sources say that Anka needs much more powered engine and new a design. I think TSK is not in rush for armed version. They have new an operation plan which is based on ANKA-T/129 cooperation. Anka's will confirm enemy targets and T-129's will hit them with Cirit or UMTAS.

ANKA-B will have SATCOM terminal on head and approx. 500kg payload capacity with a 20m wingspan...

Whta is the differences between SATCOM terminal and SAR radar?

SAR radar uses many different modes to scan the surface to take perfect images without effecting any weather conditions.
SATCOM(Satellite Commun.) is an antenne (integrated on Anka-B) which enables you to data trasnfer from so long ranges thanks to satellites. You can control UAV from so long ranges thanks to satcom terminals...

According Trmilitary.com some say ANKA-B will have SAR radar. Here i have pictures. In first pic ANKA has platform for SAR radar but in the second pic ANKA flies without that platform. Why ANKA has this different look?

Edit: Thanks for illuminating us about SATCOM terminal Mr. Cabatli.

Broter Cabatli, how much will operational range improve with the SATCOM?

Brothers, USA is controlling Predator and Reaper UAV's locating in Afghanistan from Washington thanks to SATCOM.

Without SATCOM range is limited by LOS:

S= SQRT(12,800*h)

That means with 9 km UAV ceiling, range will be 340 km from command and control post. With SATCOM range is limited only by fuel.
