TAI unveils ANKA 3 nuclear bomber style B-21 Raider drone

Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) has unveiled a new drone. The model is called the ANKA 3 and is a striking unmanned aerial vehicle.

Here's What We Know

We first found out about the drone last year, when illustrative images were published. Now, the company has shown an actual photo that captures the new drone.

The ANKA 3 is equipped with a turbofan jet engine. The drone's specifications are being kept secret, but it is known to have a maximum take-off weight of around 7,000kg.

The novelty is made by the scheme of "flying wing". In this regard, it looks like a next-generation nuclear bomber B-21 Raider, developed by Northrop Grumman. Speaking strictly about drones, the US company's range includes Northrop X-47B with a similar design.

The photo of ANKA 3 was published by Temel Kotil, CEO of TAI, along with pictures of the fifth-generation fighter, which recently passed another test. The first flight of the drone will take place in 2023.
