Because AF-235 is meant to replace AF-200 amk, haven't you been listening? There will be setbacks.
Anka couldn't make it to 30.000 feet so what? you think 26.000 feet isn't good enough for N. Iraq? We've been flying with AH1Ws with barely 10.000 feet service ceiling for 30 years and they can climb to the highest point of Qandil mountains without a damn problem. You think the terrorist organization have weapons that can fire at 26.000 feet?
Just stop repeating the owner's voice newspapers. Anka program is a success. Air Force is going to have to wait until national power pack or TEI turboprop engine to reach 30.000 feet. This is how far it goes with a turbocharged 2.0 diesel.
Bro, MSB is the sole ministery which is charged to inform TBMM about defence industry, not SSM and Ministery of National defence is the main part of SSIK. There are two parts of desicions on SSIK meetings MSB always announces. One is visible part SSM reveals th documents with MSB stamp and signitures for public awareness and Other unvisible parts are kept secret from public.
SSM prepare the performance standarts of tenders the institutes should obey, check their production brends, arrange the offsets, prepare the 5/10 years industrial development plans, participate industrial activities, transfer dataes/feasibilities for SSIK and fund institutes by months taken from MSB. All other efforts such as chargement of SSM to commence meeting of an X institute related with Y project, The acceptance results of Y prototypes, Serial production orders and all things which may affect the destiny of programs are discussed by SSIK. At meetings, SSM minister, Murat BAYAR works as a secretary of MSB so When a Questionary asked about a thing in TBMM, The written article related with it are kept in official archieves so Every single part of the word which is guaranteed under the MSB Stamp and Signiture should be taken from safe sources (SSM) and reflect completely truths because We are talking about given information to TBMM.
About FLIR and production of ANKA, She will be mass produced with the performance criterias designated by SSM
(If nothing changed in SSIK meetings). It isn't about your belief or my personnel wishes. BTW, There isn't any official obligation for TAI to make ANKA ready for mass production with AselFlir-300T. It is a seperate agreement between Aselsan-TAI. The important point is designated performance criterias at the beggining TAI shouldobey and The final product's capabilities whether It meets the requirements or not. I mean If 235 is able to meet the designated criterias TSK/SSM pointed out such as laser designater, pointer, distance measure, coordinate finder, TV, day/night/ infrared cameras...etc, Then It can easily be integrated to meet other performance criterias designtaed such as altitude. That's why source indicates a lighter foreign FLIR to be supplied by abroad but SAme generation domestic equivalent to be ready for mass production... In additions, Both 235 and 300 are advanced targetting&surveillance FLIRS but AF200 is just a surveillance FLIR like AF135 bro...
BTW, 26000ft is a perfect altitude scale for an UAV to hunt the terrorists but It isn't matter. Heron with AF300T could climb 23000ft at first phase of trials, Then Israeli engineers wasted so many times to power up the engines and so program delayed many years. With 50-60 kg lighter but similar capable domestic FLIR integrated on ANKA will perform really good alltitude success without any doubt(30000+ maybe (?)).
