Recently we are getting a lot of off topics all over the forum. I want to remind you to keep your discussions close to the title of the thread. This is the UAV thread and if you can add something to this discussion you are free to post, but you must refrain turning this thread into a geopolitics discussion. We have a dedicated thread for the helicopter crash in which top Iranian officials lost their lives, we got foreign relations thread and you should keep these kind of discussions there. As we know politics is a big thing in these matters, but if we can't eliminate political discussions lets at least try to post with a 70/30 ratio in favor of technical content and content tightly connected to the machines themselves. This is valid for every thread in this forum.

Thank you!

ANKA-3's twin engine will also arrive and will be able to fly at supersonic speed. They will accompany KAAN.

One thing I've loved about turkish technological reveals has been the cycle of:
"LOL turks can't develop/produce a thing"

Turks produce said thing

"3D mOCkUP nOT iNDiGEnoUS honghonghong /angry cuckold noises"

It's been one of highlights of this past decade.

As far as I understand what is meant by twin engines is 2x TEI TF-10000 (because an afterburner may be needed for supersonic cruise). This must represent an enormous leap, such as the complete domestic production of a strategic class and full stealth penetrator/bomber drone. In my opinion, more fuel and ammunition capacity and increased range/endurance will be more important advances than supersonic maximum flight speeds. Therefore, I hope and predict that this twin-engine ANKA-X will significantly exceed the ANKA-3 in terms of both wingspan and MTOW capacity. We may encounter a drone of quite gigantic dimensions.
