Anka Block B is a developed version of the Anka Block A. The Anka Block B also has a greater payload capacity than that of the Anka-A which includes SAR/ISAR/GMTI radar (in addition to the cameras of Anka A) that obtains and remits high resolution intelligence data back to base. Anka Block B passed 30.000 feet, 26hr and 200 km radius during test flights.

well, what matters is that someone gave us an uav with payload and we can use it. lofty ideals and failures don't count. There is a saying among hunters "every shot not taken is a miss".
I see ANKA S as an attempt to still show public and TSK that they're in the game. And I don't think I need to remind you that it's not the best one that wins the war, it's the one that works.
When the backloading rifle was invented, it wasn't precise, the frontloader was more accurate, but the soldiers needed to stand up to load it, and it took time. Which is why the Preussen (germany) beat the shit out of everyone.

It’s not. It’s cheaper and easier to manufacture as Anka is more complex and bigger than TB2 but this doesn’t mean it is useless. It saved dozens lives by patrolling our borders and Afrin. TB2 is a good drone but Anka is and will be more diverse in its duties and strike capacity.

Anka had a longer development phase and it just got delivered to TSK, i wonder how you come to the conclusion one is better than the other.
Did you compare them personally, if you look at the specs you cant even compare Anka to Bayraktar.
