@Bilal Khan (Quwa) what the crap is going on? Everyone wants their own complete line of UAVs.
AWC: Shahpar and Shahpar-II
NESCOM: Burraq and (now) Anka
PAC: Falco and unnamed MALE
Meanwhile PAF PN PA: CH-4 and WL-2
Either this is some 3 dimensional chess, or everyone's doing their own thing with no regard to the other.
like cmon dude every drone is in a different class , Shahpar 2 is ISR light MALE UAV , ANKA / PAC UAV is bigger than that but lightly armed and both for PAF , CH4 is for PAA as attack drone , and WL-2 is for PAF as attack drone. Falco , burraq & Shahpar 1 are not comparable at all....
We also have WL-1s as PAF has a testing/training squadron i believe with atleast 2 x WL-1s that was operational in 2016-18 , then re-appeared in 2021. Both WL-1s are visible on sat imagery in 2021 at Mianwali.
PN has also likely acquired a MALE UAV , though not sure if its CH4 or CH5 but what ever it is, its operational already based on what ive seen.
PAC's MALE UAV is called as TD-1 and its unconfirmed call sign is Karrar UAV.
After reading Anadolu Agency, I think this agreement between TAI and NESCOM is to collaborate on the Anka for the sake of the UAV. The two organizations will develop the Anka further and market it to other countries.
It sounds like NESCOM is entering the Anka's overall supply chain, i.e., TAI is outsourcing work to Pakistan. I suspect this may be part of the offsets agreed to under the T129 and MILGEM deals. Basically, future Anka buyers will see that a % of their parts will come from NESCOM.
That said, in 2018, the PN spoke to TAI about the Anka-S. So, NESCOM could market the Anka-S to the PN, while PAC pitches its MALE UAV.
İnsansız hava aracı Anka, Pakistan iş birliğiyle güçlendirilecek
Türk Havacılık ve Uzay Sanayii (TUSAŞ) ile Pakistan’ın Milli Mühendislik ve Bilim Komisyonu (NESCOM), insansız hava araçlarına (İHA) yönelik iş birliği yapacak. - Anadolu Ajansıwww.aa.com.tr
Waste of resources for one, and everyone wants to appear as bringing a solution to the table. Where they cannot make one, they are buying them.
The next obvious question people will ask about it's capability.
So, You should keep a lid.
So TD = Technology Demonstrator .... ???
