In our 3 seas this kind of maritime patrol with unmanned or manned version would not be useful during war time,it canbe a quick target for fighter jets or sam sytems unless its stealth

Turkey also want to have air to air missiles in latest Bayraktar UAV..

I do not think so it will be effective to fighter jets but may be against helicopters

 

[Saithan]

I'm hoping to see a proper MALE UAV from Baykar, our neighbourhood is heating up, and we need something that can be controlled from far away.

We have ANKA-A/B/S why another MALE UAV?

Jets should come really close to UAV to shoot them as they have very low heat signature and look like a bird in the radar. If UAV has little AESA radar which Turkey plans on UAV, they can shoot back to jets when they are let say within 25 km... the only problem will be what if those jets are above UAVs lets say over 40K attitude? UAVs might have another camera above them in the future or some thermal cameras..

How many ANKA A and B do we have ?

 

[CAN_TR]

How many ANKA A and B do we have ?

10+ active ANKA.
40 in total are planned.

 

[Saithan]

I know we have ANKA S in the inventory, but I'm more interested in knowing how many ANKA that can carry bombs and drop them on terrorists. So if you know how many we have of the mentioned versions please do share with us.

ANKA Development project was about 5 prototypes

if i remember corectly , Nr1 and Nr:5 crashed, one of them on stall test so it was normal, other one crashed after acceptence tests cause of israeli mission computer, it was so suspicious they quickly changed the israeli computer. TAI built another one , nr6 to comply original agreement to handover 5 prototypes.

Nr2 was for ground test, never flied, so we cant count it

there were 2 other crash landings but they recovered.

so we have total 29 ANKAs right now. the last board number is 32 , see the tweet.

That is very good bookkeeping, keep it up
