Türk Silahlı Kuvvetleri'nin keşif ve gözetleme ihtiyaçları doğrultusunda TUSAŞ mühendisleri tarafından tasarlanan ve birçok yerli alt yüklenici firmanın da görev aldığı Türk İnsansız Hava Aracı "ANKA"nın montajı ve üretimi tamamlanarak, 16 Temmuz 2010 tarihinde TUSAŞ tesislerinde düzenlenen törenle hangardan çıkmıştır. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The TAI Anka (English: Phoenix) is a family of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) being developed by Turkish Aerospace Industries for the Turkish Air Force. The contract regarding the development of an indigenous Medium Altitude Long Endurance (MALE) Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) system for the reconnaissance requirements of the Turkish Armed Forces became effective on 24 December 2004. Within the framework of the program, a total of three prototypes and ground systems will be designed, developed, manufactured and tested by mid 2011 as part of the prototype development phase. Subsequently in 2012, the serial production phase of ANKA-A will be launched and additional 10 systems (meaning 30 ANKA-A's) will be built for Turkish Air Force. Trials of a TEI (Tusas Engine Industries) designed engine will start within one year.

An Israeli made unmanned aerial vehicle, the Heron TP, is displayed at it's induction ceremony into the Israeli Air Force at the Tel Nof Air Force Base, February 21, 2010. The large drone is built by the Israel Aerospace Industries, IAI, and is capable of flying to Iran. It has a wingspan of 86 feet, the size of a passenger jet and can fly 20 consecutive hours. The drone is primarily used for surveillance and carrying payloads
FN REPORT / ISRAEL NEW GENERATION OF WARS JET / IRAN / HERON TP PRONE ADM :MIKE MULLEN .
Israel's air force on Sunday introduced a fleet of huge pilotless planes that can remain in the air for a full day and can fly as far as the Persian Gulf, putting Iran within its range. The Heron TP drones have a wingspan of 86 feet, making them the size of Boeing 737 passenger jets and the largest unmanned aircraft in Israel's military. The planes can fly at least 20 consecutive hours and are primarily used for surveillance and carrying diverse payloads. The unmanned plane resembles its predecessor, the Heron, but can fly higher, reaching an altitude of more than 40000 feet, and remain in the air longer. "With the inauguration of the Heron TP, we are realizing the air force's dream," said Brig. Gen. Amikam Norkin, commander of the base that will operate the drones. "The Heron TP is a technological and operational breakthrough." Israel's military refused to say how large the new fleet is or whether the planes were designed for use against Iran, but stressed it was versatile and could adapt to new missions. Israeli defense officials said the Heron TP could be a useful tool against Iran. It could provide surveillance, jam enemy communications and connect ground control. The officials requested anonymity because they were discussing sensitive military technology. Israel considers Iran a strategic threat because of its nuclear program, long-range missiles and repeated references by its leaders to the Jewish state's destruction. Update: Israel apparently has 210 Heron TP ...

A senior Turkish military source was quoted as saying: "Israel has failed yet again to deliver the Israeli-made surveillance drones known as Herons to Turkey. Turkey needs those vehicles in its fight against terror. What led to the recent crisis between Turkey and Israel was the delay in delivery." The source said Ankara ordered 10 drones for $180 million and although the manufacturers, Israel's Elbit and the arms industry, rescheduled delivery dates, the Turkish military command does not ...
