wasted munition..

As we know, US do this also and I bet they are not the only one.

Why we don't see UMTAS missile on Anka ?

Because ;

1. Weight issue.. heavier ammunition means shorter flight.
2. Helicopters and light aircrafts ( as hürkuş) MUST use umtas atc.. they CANT send gravity bombs(like mam-l) to 8 km. necause of the altitude issue.

Helicopters and light planes flies around between zero - 5000 m.. if they release a gravity bomb, that bombs range would be about maximum 1 km..

Ucavs flies around 10 km altitude and more.. so if they use gravity bombs , that bomb goes up to 8 km. as it should be.

So if you gain the range you want without ROCKET ENGINE , simply you dont need to use rocket engine in your ammunition.. and so you gain some weight and more flight time for you ucav..

Usta do you believe that? I would be happy enough if we would see anything from TF-X by then.

They talking about UCAV not TF-X

Cabatli clearly wrote Unmanned Fighter Jet. Also read the headline i doubt ''Insansiz Savas Ucagi'' means UCAV.

I'm pretty sure they mean MIUS when they say jet, of which we had seen concept art of?

There were some issues with CATS, once those issues were sorted the problem became production capacity. Some Canadian E/O were purchased to make sure we don't have gap in capability - drones with no E/O = bad.

However I think I may have seen some ANKA-B at TAI facilities with CATS, but quality of the footage was far too poor to make it out definitively. You lot check it out, is it CATS ?

CATS was installed on Anka in September 2017 and now Anka flies with CATS.

Are you sure about Anka flies with CATS ? Because i know that CATS have some problems and need time a little bit. Maybe I'm wrong..
