Specifications of ANKA-3

The maximum take-off weight of TAI’s unmanned fighter jet will be around 7 tonnes. The ANKA-3, which is expected to make its first flight in the second quarter of 2023, is being developed in light of the ANKA series of unmanned aerial vehicles experience. The ANKA-3 was primarily designed for air-to-ground missions. As a result, deep-strike and DEAD/SEAD missions will be among the primary attack capabilities of the aircraft.

ANKA 3

The Turkish industry’s ANKA drone family has both domestic and international appeal. The Turkish army, for example, operates an ANKA-1 variant. This drone has also already been exported to three different countries. The second member of this drone family, the ANKA-2, is also used by Turkish defence and has been sold to two countries. Apart from Turkey, other countries with ANKA drone operators include Algeria, Chad, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Malaysia, and Tunisia.

Turkey Scaling up in Geopolitics

Turksi has grown to become not only a major manufacturer of military reconnaissance and attack drones but also a market leader on a global scale. The success of Turkey’s most well-known drone, the Bayraktar TB2, has created opportunities for Turkish defence to sell unmanned products all over the world. Qatar, Libya, Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Morocco, Ethiopia, Kyrgyzstan, Somalia, Pakistan, Djibouti, Burkina Faso, Rwanda, Togo, Niger, Nigeria, Poland, Mali, and the United Arab Emirates, for example, already operate Bayraktar TB 2.
