Anka-S was thought to carry Satcom
Also known as the Anka-S, the Anka B features a more expansive payload to the pre-series/basic Anka Block A. This includes a new high-definition (HD) electro optical infrared (EOIR) payload including a laser designator/laser rangefinder, an Aselsan/MilSOFT synthetic aperture radar (SAR), satellite communications (SATCOM), an encrypted datalink and an indigenous flight control computer.
The first flight of the production-standard Anka B comes just over four years after the initial Anka prototype first flew in December 2010.
