The Turkish Aerospace Industries Company / TUSAS / announced that its locally-made “Anka 3” drone achieved an accurate and direct hit in the first live ammunition firing test.
“TUSAS” indicated in a statement today, Friday, that it has begun supplying “Anka 3” with ammunition to make it capable of carrying weapons in the military field, as the guidance set (TEBER-82) developed by the Turkish company “Roketsan” was placed under the wings of the aircraft.
The company stated that the “Anka 3”, equipped with the camera (Aselflir 500) manufactured by “Aselsan”, flew carrying ammunition / air-to-ground missiles / to hit its targets and that it succeeded in the test by hitting the target directly.
The “Anka 3” is equipped with a new generation drone system, and has the ability to carry out reconnaissance, surveillance and intelligence operations missions, attack with various air-to-ground ammunition, disable enemy radar and air defense systems through the jamming system it carries and protect friendly forces in
