İnsansız denizaltılar ve insanlı mini denizaltılar konusunda güzel haberler var. "Başkanlığımızca yürütülen “Otonom Sualtı/Suüstü Aracı (OSSA)” Projesi kapsamında, belirlenen derinliklerde çeşitli görevleri icra edecek insansız otonom sualtı araçları geliştirilecektir.
Translated from Turkish by
There is good news about unmanned submarines and manned mini-submarines. Under the "Autonomous Underwater / Surface Vehicle (OSSA)" project carried out by our Agency, unmanned autonomous underwater vehicles that will perform various tasks at the specified depths will be developed

What is status of this program and when will it enter mass production and also how many missile and bombs it can carry at one time

End of 2020 for Aksungur. Aksungur can carry at one time: 4xMk 82 (with pd-220 engine), or 6xMk 81, or plenty of MAM-L, MAM-C.

Anka+ ? I have no idea.

Note: Mk series will have HGK&KGK guidance packet.

Turkish swarm attack, land based and air launchable decoy drones similar to MALD. This project is under the responsibility of TAI and Acc to Temel Kotil, Turkish decoy (wingmen drone) will make first flight in this year. If not, We will see them in 2021.

From SSB drones roadway...

Something is telling me it’ll be tb2 “wingman”

I am not Combat Master or cabatli_53. Yes, Akıncı can carry SOM and so air to air missile. I hope for MBDA Meteor missile or domestic equivalant.

Dam that is serious firepower although I am finding it hard to believe

In fact Akıncı will be very useful drone. Akıncı maybe even a mini AEWC drone.

However, IMO its most deadly application will be seen in its use with swarm drones. The AKINCI will carry swarm drones and launch them to the target. She will then be able to oversee and manage the operation completely autonomously from above!

All these tasks will be done under intense enemy electronic warfare environment. Akıncı and the swarm drones it carries will not need GPS.

She can also carry A2A missiles which are also designed and manufactured by Turkey.

I believe this could be a great drone hunter if we can create even smaller A2A missiles that cost less and can be carried in bulk.

I would rather see Stingers instead of Bozdogan for now

Kinetic A2A missile would be perfect, something like Lockheed's CUDA missile

Yep, this would be perfect for her.

TAI awarded contract for production of Vertical Take-Off and Landing Cargo UAV, production to begin in 2021. The Cargo UAV is expected to have 50kg load capacity, while developments of a Cargo UAV with 150kg capacity is continuing.
