Turkish SSM to purchase Anka UAV

Issue No. 2 | January 16-31, 2012

The Turkish Government has announced that it will be purchasing the Anka unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) from TAI. The government committee, consisting of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Defense Minister Ismet Yilmaz, Chief of the General Staff General Neçdet Özel and procurement chief Murad Bayar, made the announcement in a statement that also included a commitment to purchase Lockheed Martin’s F-35 fighter jets.

According to the statement, the Turkish defence procurement agency (SSM) will purchase 10 Anka aircraft from TAI. The announcement comes after three successful flight tests were conducted on the UAV, following a bumpy start to the programme which saw the first three flight tests of the vehicle end in crash landings.

The committee’s decision will pave the way for the serial production of the 10 Anka platforms for the Turkish military.
