BAYKAR



The annual production capacity will increase with the new facility

also AKINCI UCAV has been purchased by 4 Countries

Ukraine
Poland
Pakistan

( In other words, if a country places a new order from Baykar, 3 years later is given to deliver the product )



For first time in the world, Turkey used Drones as primary element in air strikes

Turkiye’s extensive deployment of Armed Drones in its fight against Syrian Regime Forces in Idlib province has put forward a "new military doctrine" in the world

Bayraktar TB-2 UCAVs are intended to be used as close air support

Operational History
-- Turkiye's counterterrorism operations
-- Syria
-- Libya
-- Azerbaijan and 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war
-- Ukraine and 2022 Russian invasion
-- Ethiopia and Tigray

PRODUCTION CAPACİTY


Initially, only 1 Bayraktar TB2 was built per month

now Baykar has the level to produce 20 TB2s per month ( 240 TB2s per year )

The production line has been reserved for 3 years. This shows that 720 UCAVs have already been ordered

Please as much I like your news posts, there is no need to always post the whole history, specifications and future plans for each UAV in every post .

Deliveries continue quickly. A total of 6 AKINCI systems were transferred to the air force within a month. 3+3 AKINCI was delivered in the transfers that took place with an interval of 20 days.

The total number of Akıncı delivered was 12. Six to the Land Forces Command and six to the Air Forces Command. There is no clear information about the total number of AKINCI-Bs planned to be delivered to the Air Force, but the completion of the deliveries in August, which is due until October, shows that there will be production in very high numbers.

It will have EOTS system...

You can see it below..

Another fine tuned design of Bayraktar, the angle shape of the nose. When you have a radar on the ground and you are flying high. Below of the nose is the first section what will come in contact with the radar. Look to the angle, dectlection of the radar...

Is these are LERXes ?


Dude, they're not making drones right now. Or they've made an extraordinary breakthrough in autonomous capabilities, but they don't explain it. Because this is a pure dogfight airframe, you know.


Canards, chine along with fuselage, trapezoidal wings with LERX extensions. If Baykar can achieve what they thinks... anyway, I don't need to finish my sentence.

Has Turkey developed and tested a FBW for an unstable aircraft before? Is Kızılelma the first turkish developed unstable airframe that requires a matching FBW?
