Turkey set to become largest operator of UCAV in Europe, Asia and Middle East

[cabatli_53]

Baykar MIUS unmanned fighter aircraft started taking shape. According to Haluk Bayraktar, MIUS will use Ukrainian Al-25TLT turbofan engines.

Engine: Al-25TLT turbofan
Altitude:12km
Endurance:5h
Speed:900km/h

I think with the recent events on the successes of Turkish UCAVs, I post an update on the continued production of UCAVs.

"According to HaberTurk, Turkish Aerospace has begun developing a deceiver drone in April, 2019. The drone, which is below 100 kilograms, will have a speed of 1.4 Mach, and is going to be controlled by Turkey's 5th Generation Fighter."

Any news?

Is this actually goksungur or different project???

Is this actually goksungur or different project???

In recent reports, it is mentioned as what Haberturk reported back in 2019. I was wondering because 5 days ago, it was mentioned in a Russian propaganda:

"В частности, есть информация о разработке перспективного дрона Goksungur, следующего в линейке ударных БПЛА за Akıncı. Новую беспилотную авиационную платформу оснастят модернизированным двигателем АИ-25 (Al-25TLТ), который также разрабатывается в Запорожье и позволит разгонять Goksungur до скорости близкой к звуковой, там же создается силовая установка АИ-35 для турецкой перспективной крылатой ракеты."

АНКАРА ИСПОЛЬЗУЕТ НАУЧНО-ТЕХНИЧЕСКИЙ ПОТЕНЦИАЛ УКРАИНСКОГО ОПК ДЛЯ СОЗДАНИЯ НОВЫХ ВООРУЖЕНИЙ

Seems, Operation Spring Shield was terrifying for some as it gives you an idea of the future capabilities

1. Wingman drone (~100kg and 1,4 Mach speed) compatible with swarm formation flight with TF-X fighters. First flight will be done in 2020.
2. Strategic drone. TAI developed Aksungur and It is waiting order from SSB. Another strategic drone to be powered with gas turbine engine is offered to Ukraine army. Ukrainian institutes introduced mock up in their defense fairs. If Ukraibe Army accept TAI strategic drone, It will be produced for Ukraine army by Antonov.

3. TISU - Stealth unmanned fighter concept. I believe TAI calls this program as Göksungur. Most likely, we will see it until 2022/23.

4. Sinsi must be swarm attack drone program of TAI with much longer range than STM Kargu and Alpagu swarm drones.

In this field, Vestel has developed anti-radiation and kamikaze drones (~1000+km range) to replace Israeli Harpy and SSB will order this drones from Vestel If It prove itself in harsh trials done in these years. Aselsan is providing Ka-band Rf seeker head + E/O called Atmaca, and warhead from Tübitak SAGE.

Why does media insist that it's called Göksungur?

I think Temel Kotil mixed the projects while talking about them. While he was talking about a bird name given to a program, He implied another one. At final, Noone understood anything. I believe This roadmap can enlighten the projects better.

I think Temel Kotil mixed the projects while talking about them.

I can't blame him for that
Thank you.

With the inclusion of 3 Bayraktar TB2 into Gendarmerie General Command, Turkey has now 107 Bayraktar TB2 In service.

This alone makes Turkey the largest operators of UAVs in the region.

2nd Akinci prototype has been completed.

Turkish Aerospace Industries has developed a new wing for ANKA UAV. The wing is said to be adaptive and has no extrusions such as flaps. This has given Anka payload capacity increase from 250kg to 350kg and the addition of two more pylons, allowing Anka to carry more munitions.

Aksungur with 6 wing pylons and 750kg payload capacity is spotted on air.
