Work continues on Aksungur to optimise the platform. Wing optimisations and weight reductions in production variant will increase flight endurance from 49 hours to 60 hours.
Turkish UAVs caused discussions about German Army’s technological capabilities. Lieutenant Colonel Michael Karl, expert at German Institute for Defense & Strategic Studies (GIDS): To be clear, if Germany had to fight Azerbaijan in this conflict, it would not have much of a chance.

But in fact what do the German armed forces limitations - maybe even in-capabilities - have to do with with Turkish UAV development and the report I posted above?

- This is a thread I created to document development of Turkish UAVs and Fielding of those UAVs in real world scenarios. I believe we are at a turning point in how wars are fought hence documentation, reports and analysis that I post here which support such cases.
-What I posted has nothing to do with the commentary you posted, why you are objected to feel that way is only something you yourself can answer..
AKSUNGUR UCAV, 4 to be delivered to Turkish Armed Forces by end of the year. Within 2 years, 14 AKSUNGUR UCAVs are to be in service with various configurations. One of the configurations, will be for Turkish Navy in Naval Patrol Aircraft Variant.
ANKA-S destined for Tunisia are currently undergoing Factory Acceptance tests, first lot will be delivered beginning of next month in July.
TAI Ömer Yıldız, Assistant General Manager of UAV Systems:
- We will produce 6 AKSUNGURs by the end of the year, 2 of which are prototypes and 4 are serial production variants . We plan to deliver these 4 to the Turkish Armed Forces by the end of the year.
- "We have not started marketing AKSUNGUR abroad at the moment, we are going through ANKA."
(In addition, 8 AKSUNGURs will be produced in 2022. Thus, the number of AKSUNGURs produced in 2 years will be 14.)
- We provide fire prevention and notification service to Forest Department . (Note: Forest Department did not buy UAVs.)
Until the end of the year, we will integrate base stations into AKSUNGUR.
Thus, in disaster situations (emergency situations, fire prevention, etc.), the teams on the ground will communicate with each other via the base station on our aircraft.
- "We are also preparing AKSUNGUR for maritime patrol missions. Currently, we are giving our aircraft acoustic listening capability for anti-submarine warfare.
We'll be listening to Sonobuoys in a month, and we'll be releasing them by the end of the year."
- "The ANKAs we will deliver to Tunisia in the first week of July will perform the factory acceptance tests here, pack our planes and send them to Tunisia."
- "We are working on the jet-powered UAV line. But what I can explain to you is that we will have 1 jet-powered target aircraft that will fly at supersonic speed by the end of this year. We will announce when we finish the others."
(The name of the target plane is Göksungur.)
Ukraine @MFA_UkraineMinister @DmytroKuleba :
Strategically we want to do 2 things:
* Equipping Turkish UAVs with Ukrainian engines,
* To produce Turkish UAVs locally in Ukraine.
UAVs are a deterrent tool. If Russia attacks, we will use it to defend ourselves.
| Serial Production of ULAQ Unmanned Surface Vehicle has commenced |
The words of Ismail DEMIR about ULAQ:
"We are starting the serial production of ULAQ. Just as we have seen our UAVs in the field of operation more than once, you will see many models of USVs (Unmanned Sea Vehicles). These are coming slowly, there is very important work on the subfloor right now. We are starting mass production of ULAQ SİDA, others are coming"
So i did my estimate on TB-2's Radar Cross Section. got to say it's a clever design. By focusing the largest spike upward. It shows RCS optimization against ground based radars at least up to S-band. Which pretty much those one may encounter in tactical situations (most if not all ground based Mobile air defense's radar are in S-band).
The spike however begin to broaden at L and VHF band.
That's an interesting observation. Can I ask you what was the attitude used for the vehicle in the simulation (the pic let us think that a negative AoA was used)?

All purchased are arms capable (UCAV) variants with 4x hardpoints. However, no information regarding negotiations on weapons purchases is given. The main armaments of the TB2 currently are the; MAM-L & MAM-C

I don't think it was by design, as the company in its infancy did not have the capabilities or manpower to study the dynamics and intricacies of radar cross-section.
Here is the full team that produced the first prototypes, TB1.
Here's the team a few years later having won the Turkish tender for tactical drones with their improved TB2 design.
And the team as it stands now, having won a Turkish contract to develop Akinci Combat Drone
According to the information obtained by the AA correspondent, ASELSAN and SEFİNE Shipyard have joined forces to develop trimaran-style unmanned surface vehicles.
Bayraktar AKINCI TİHA has made a total of 870 sorties since the day it first met the sky and performed a flight of 347 hours and 28 minutes.
It will be at the service of our security forces very soon!
Bayraktar #AKINCI TİHA flew for 13 hours and 24 minutes with a payload of 3000 lb (1,360 kg).#AKINCI With NEB under the fuselage, it rose to an altitude of 30,000 feet (9.144 meters).
