What's new

Turkish Unmanned Vehicle Programs

an estimated $1 million per unit according to 2011 sales, that makes 300 million $.

Wing Loong II: An upgraded variant of the Wing Loong, with provisions for up to twelve air-to-surface missiles.

Armament
  • 100 kilograms (220 lb) of air-to-surface weapons
Avionics
  • 100 kilograms (220 lb) capacity for sensors
Let me give you an example for comparison:
ANKA-TP (SIHA- Strategic Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) have the ability to carry between 1 and 1.5 Tons in armament.
The Anka Block B also has a greater payload capacity than that of the Anka-A.
The Turkish Air Force ordered 10 ANKA-B platforms in 2013 at a cost of $300 million.
In 25 October 2013 Turkish Undersecretariat for Defence Industry (SSM) ordered 10 ANKA-S UAVs and 12 ground control stations for $290 million ($220.6 million + TRY 137 million).

You can drop as many tiny grenades as you want with Wing Loong II, i prefer my Anka. (I dont mean you, talking generally)

Smart move. Hope they get permanent orders rather than just leasing deal.

Also that catapult launched uav they were first contracted for could fill a gap. Would be nice if someone actually developed one :(

whats the difference between akinci and anka?
Max altitude of ANKA is 30 000 feet while Akinci will have 45 000 feet max altitude also while the payload of ANKA is 200kg the one of Akinci is 1000kg. Akinci can be used for ELINT/COMINT operations while as far as I know ANKA is not capable of. In one word Akinci will be our domestically made Reaper. ANKA is MALE class (Medium Altitude Long Endurance) while Akinci is HALE class (High Altitude Long Endurance)
 
whats the difference between akinci and anka?
Anka can only go up to 30.000 feet and got a payload capacity of 250 kg while Akıncı thing supposed to go up to 45.000 feet and have 1000 kg payload capacity.

With 250 kg payload capacity at best you can fit 4 smart munitions and maybe take 10-20 men strong group on other with 1000 kg payload capacity you can make a bomber bus.
