It is hearhbreakin if you read the numbers.
Anka total weight is 1600kg with a payload of 200 kg. 1/8 ratio on payload/weight.
Elbit hermes 900 total weight is 1150 kg with a payload of 350 kg. Almost 1/3 ratio.
Difference is huge.
Dont get me wrong, i love everything anout anka.
Probably Hermes 900's operating altitude or endurance is reduced when it has a 350kg payload. Anka can carry 200kg payload with the specified endurance and altitude. When you compare them directly with the same payload, altitude and endurance Hermes will likely be better but not that much better.
