TAI has accelerated its efforts for its new unmanned stealth aircraft. The latest version of the Anka-3, which was first revealed in February last year, has been leaked. Caught on cameras with its renewed color, the unmanned aerial drone continues to attract attention with its features.
Anka-3 appeared with its renewed color
Anka-3, an unmanned aerial vehicle whose work has been kept secret, has come to the agenda again with a new image. The model, which will serve as a stealth aircraft, will also represent a first for Turkey. The fact that the aircraft is called “stealth” actually owes to the special paint on its fuselage, its design and landing gear.
ANKA-3 completed its first test flight in December last year. Accordingly, it reached an altitude of 8,000 feet and reached a speed of approximately 150 knots. In addition, it also successfully performed the runway crossing test. It will take part in many different missions such as reconnaissance, surveillance, intelligence, air-ground attack and air-air attack.
