wow , it even has a gun , does the guy km away control it
 
It is an EU project, just like A-400M. As I know, there are no plans to mass produce it for TSK.

Better. No need for useless things like this. They could invest in something else with that 20 mil.
 
Robust engineering, looks like a promising vehicle. Thanks for sharing those images. InshaAllah it will improve Turkish border security. It is a useful vehicle since it can do a mans work.
 
Nothing can replace the good-old homo sapiens...
 
bordo enes or cabatli who can answer , i checked the specifications of predator and anka and anka seems to be better on everything , longer range , bigger engine etc and i checked that we are helping europe for that talarion project , i think anka uav is really promising especially if it gets armed

and it also says this about our heron

operates a special modified version of the Heron, which utilizes Turkish designed and manufactured electro-optical sub-systems. For Example, the Turkish Herons uses the ASELFLIR-300T Airborne Thermal Imaging and Targeting System designed and manufactured by ASELSAN of Turkey. The Turkish Herons have also stronger engines in order to compensate for the added payload created by the new ASELFLIR-300T. This is the same FLIR system what will be used by the AgustaWestland/TAI T-129 Attack helicopter[9] and the TAI Anka MALE UAV. IAI staff maintain that the Turkish Heron's "with its enhanced performance, is better than all existing Heron UAVs operating worldwide”.[10] Turkish Aerospace Industries provide maintenance and overhaul services for the Turkish Herons

it looks like heron and anka are better than predator when looking at specs
 
The Anka is really a UAV that can match Predator and Heron Easy. Last time i checked the only disadvantage the Anka had was its duration in the sky which is shorther then both but still ranks in the Top 10 most durable UAVs.
 
duration / endurance? anka 24 hours , predator also 24 hours

since it is a project supported by the European Commission... guess it is mainly for guarding Greek-Turkish border...against what they call illegal imigrants....
