Is it upsetting you that I am stating a fact ?



TB2 will be around for a while, perhaps 10 or more years.. with continual upgrades and modifications to improve existing systems.. But yes, Baykar is developing new drones

endurance 55 hours for the MALE UAV ?

MIUS looking good ...

MIUS looking good ...

I hope TAI will get HALE class uav project, and Baykar to produce MİUS.

There is a HALE project named Akinci.

Only two are able to do this job. In my opinion TAI has the better chance to get the tender.

TAI should finish Anka firstly!

It's not Reconnaissance uav that need to have long endurance , MIUS is UCAV that need to be fast and highly maneuver

Pretty sure its for quick strikes.

With cruise speed of 0.8 mach (like 515 knots) I think you are right. For example HALE MQ 9 Reaper have cruise speed of 169 knots and max speed of 260 knots. Also we can see the "operational profiles" there. Strategic Attacks, Close Air Support, Suppression of Enemy Air Defense/Destruction of Enemy Air Defense, Missile Attacks. This is UCAV as one of our friends said and its nice to have it. I also think that this is not connected to the Akinci project because Akinci is HALE and this is not.

Some are operational.

What do you expect more ?

Non-falling birds like Bayraktar!

Photo is from last year....Even US UAVs crash because of malfunction. It's no big deal.

I'm talking about frequency of fall per total flight hours which have been reached to 1:20000 for Bayraktar.
