I was wondering, what's funny?

Do we have a powerful and reliable turbofan engine? No.
Do we have sensors readily available that can be fitted to airplanes? No.
Is there any guarantee that the USA or EU will order from TEI or TAI tomorrow? No.
In this sense, does not the risk of economic isolation increase? Yes, it is increasing.
Aren't these companies at risk of losing their export markets? Yes they are.

So what's funny?

start by stopping looking to the west, there are more inhabitants in the east than in the west,

How many hard points for weapons Anka drone has ?

Currently only two but new variant has 350 kg carrying capacity so it is able to accommodate 4 and probably will have them

How many hard points for weapons Anka drone has ?

Currently 2 hard point. There will be 4 very soon. Because the wing was redesigned and manufactured with a different technique. There will also be a significant increase in engine power. It will increase from 170 hp to 225 hp.

In short, Anka that will go to Pakistan will not be the old Anka. It will be kind of Anka 2.0.

So are we going to use that Anka 2.0? No, probably not. We will replace Aksungur with Anka. Anka will no longer be produced for the Turkish army&security forces.

220 HP is for take off only not a continous power but its also an improvement it leads to carry more payload
