Akinci & Aksungur and Turkish Unmanned Fighter Aircraft Program

Joint venture of Tai, Bayraktar and Vestel. And everyone gets their share, everyone shares their knowhow and no one starves.

You have a source for that, or is that just what you think should happen?

After TEI's PD 170 is installed on the Anka will the Anka have satcom + EO/IR + SAR?

I think the extra horsepower might allow the addition of SAR. Isn't that the plan anyway?

Afaik there is no plan for such variant. And it isn't necessary for Male class UAV. But we can expect Akıncı (Hale class) ucav to equip with SATCOM + SAR.

Wishful thinking.

AKINCI UCAV (Big brother of ANKA) project commenced ! Foreign institutes will not be allowed to join into tender.

Why are they starting a new project when Anka is already so delayed?

What do you mean?

 

[AmirPatriot]

What do you mean?

Well, I'm saying that maybe priority would be to get the Anka done before they move onto larger UAVs. As I understand it has not used any weapons yet.

Where did you hear that Anka isn't done?

Well, its combat element is not operational. Turkey has been using Bayraktars in Syria for UCAV duties, not Anka.

Oh you meant "serial production isnt done". I though you meant that Anka development project isn't done. Anka is done, in serial production phase. Will be delivered in this year.

But there are multiple versions, correct? Are the armed versions in serial production?

According to minister, Armed Anka will be delivered in this year.

Anka is the name of the platform
So it has variants for different purposes, just like sar mission, attack mission or sea skimming missions etc, Bu the thing is this
