Thx in Advance

According to minister totally 40 (25 UCAV+15 UAV) Anka will be delivered. Already 3 UCAV 2 UAV Anka has been delivered.
According to writer 4 UCAV 3 UAV has been delivered.

40 (25 UCAV + 15 UAV) Anka variants

151 (112 UCAV + 39UAV) Bayraktar TB2

From the old times of US embargo to non-stop production for armed drone independence !

I'd say stop occupying precious assembly line space with UAVs and instead let all the Ankas be UCAVs. For intel/recon missions UCAVs can fly without weapons to conserve fuel. But for combat missions UAVs cannot be loaded with weapons.

I think there are two operational versions of ANKA based on its payload.
Those that carry arms and those that carry SAR radar/GAG camera/etc. We need both.

How many is enough for our army what Is the amount to fulfill our needs?

That depends on what we need them to do?

If you want to use them to watch every step of PKK then you would need dozens or even hundreds of drones depending on reliability of the system.

Or if you wanna use them to both watch the PKK and shot these target asap, with high reliability, you would need at least one hundred UCAV (my guesstimate)

Of course, We have more than one enemy, So The numbers seems high but they are not high. Afterward, We may rain fire to our enemies pretty hard and pretty fast. But I really wish We would go for more UCAVs with Satcom in order to be able to use them in larger conflicts. Or at least we should built mobile relay stations to be able to use our UCAV more deep inside to enemy territory.

Tldr; These purchase numbers are probably based on deep analysis of our needs in order to be able to achieve a certain capabilities. So these numbers are what we need.

I think, Turkey will be the one having largest drone inventory in all Middle-East and Europe.

-1161 mini-drone, 450 more in production
-Bayraktar TB-2: 151
-Anka A/B/S: 40
-Anka-2 on the way
-4,5t new beast on the way

 

[Houves]

112 armed bayraktar ? it's confirmed ? I tought it was 30...

 

[Tsenal]

112 armed bayraktar ? it's confirmed ? I tought it was 30...

Minister of Defense confirmed it

Turkey is indeed building an impressive inventory of drones. These will come in very handy if/when we start running into issues with F-35 deliveries amid the S-400 purchase (and other Russian-Turkish partnerships).

There's a few important details here that especially needs to be noted. Some of the sub-systems Turkey is going be integrating into the Akinci UCAV are these:

• GNSS Tabanli Olmayan Yedek Seyrusefer Sistemi

This means that even in the unfortunate event that the US decides to block or jam GPS service for Turkey for whatever reason, we will still be able to operate these birds without a hitch.

• Fuze Ikaz Sistemi

This likely means Akinci UCAV will also carry some countermeasures (ECM, flares, chaff) against enemy anti-aircraft missiles.

• SAR/MWR

Millimeter wave radar indicates Akinci UCAV will be able to carry Mizrak-U missiles and can be used as a stand-off tank hunter.

 

[DemirkanTR]

After first round of our UAV experience we will have about 200 tactical/male class UAV/UCAVs. And this is just beginning

I think we take this as a deterrence factor. And that's very bright move.
