Obviously they will not reveal it untill final validation and approval.

The newest UAV:
Shahpur UAV:
we should cooperate with pakistan , we can improve anka uav together to make it armed and joint produce aswell and export together

I think PAF(may be), PAA and PN should get these ones ASAP and in good numbers especially PN should buy about 15 of these and may be some other big ones like 11 Falco's too... So that they can keep 24/7 eye on the coastal belt for intruders without the need of expensive operations of MPAs...
Really if PAC along with NESCOM and KRL had joined in properly to develop this UAV technology along with infrastructure like Satellites than this like UAVs can play a vital role, like for PN they can buy about 21-30 of these machines instead of 10 MPAs along with 7 small ones.
Too bad, I would have really loved to have seen it with weapons installed.
So I checked Google, and it still supposedly under testing. Any idea when it's expected to come into full production
As long as we don't give it to the ISI, we all know what happens when intel agencies get their hands on armed drones (I'm looking at you, CIA and Mossad).
CIA means US Military. Although ISI is a part of Pak Military but much better than CIA.
No, the US military usually has no say in the drone strikes in Pakistan, or even the drone programs conducted even in Afghanistan. While the US military does operate armed drones, they're nowhere nearly as used as much as they are by the CIA.
The ISI is just as bad as the CIA, never trust any intel agency to tell you the truth, or at least the complete truth.
So this is interesting, I got curious and checked wikipedia on Burraq UAV, and it says that the Burraq is currently in service...
Burraq (Urdu: براق ‎ is an advanced unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV) developed by a venture of PAF and the NESCOM, a civilian defence research and development organisation.[2] The name Burraq (Arabic: البُراق‎ al-Burāq "lightning") refers to a type of winged steed, described as a creature from the heavens which transported the Islamic Prophet Muhammad.
In May 2009 the Burraq UCAV was reported to be undergoing flight testing and would be armed with a new laser-guided ASM missiles and laser designator, also designed by NESCOM.[2]
As of 2012 the Burraq is believed to be in service.[3]

Buddy, can you explain why? ISI has some problem???
I think its in service since 2009 with PAF, PN as well as PA.
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan, which has for much of the past decade has sought to acquire unmanned aerial vehicles (UCAV), a platform used by the US in Pakistan despite numerous protests by the government, has started export of drone parts.
On Monday, officials at the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC), Kamra handed over the first batch of parts created for the Turkish UAV (ANKA) to the Turkish Aerospace Industry (TAI) in a ceremony held during the International Defence Exhibition and Fair (IDEF) at Istanbul, Turkey.
After the signing ceremony, President and CEO of TAI Muharrem Dortkasli expressed his satisfaction on the skill and knowledge possessed by PAC, Kamra for undertaking such assignments.
Dortkasli expressed that many more collaborations would be undertaken in the future as well.
Pakistan has been seeking access to drones and has experimented in indigenously constructing drones.

What exactly did we produce? plus does this mean we will see ANKA in service?
From the photo, a military analyst in China said the drone's engine is apparently the RD-93 imported from Russia. This is the same engine used by JF-17 Xiaolong or Thunder multi-role fighter developed by China in partnership with Pakistan. The drone is larger than the French nEUROn, but smaller than the X-47B developed by the US.
