Türkiye Takes Over America V
Where does this end? A week before, it was Siper. A few days ago, it was KAAN. The last in 2023 was ANKA-3. Each is a newly unveiled major military platform. They primarily undermine US supremacy.
The maiden flight of ANKA-3 was on 28 December 2023. It is only fair to put the headline: “Türkiye Takes Over America V”. With this, Turkiye unveiled four major military platforms in a span of the last ten days of the “centennial” 2023.
TURKISH DRONES
Turkish drones are by far superior species. That is a bold statement, but it is true. It is also true that America is number one in the drone business. Yet, the one-two dominance of America and Israel in the drone business has long ended. Turks, basically, took them over with recent exploits.
Baykar and Tusas are two of the leading drone manufacturers in Türkiye. The former is a privately owned company. The latter is a state owned. They kind of compete with one another in such a way that they complement one another. Plus, they do not have competition, having also left the US and Israel behind in a number of areas.
Baykar primarily did it with the now-legendary TB-2. Tusas has ANKA to brag about. Yet, they are only their entry models to the drone business. Their fourth-generation drones are now in the air having successfully completed their maiden flights. In summary, within a decade, Türkiye came from nowhere to challenge the lead in the world.
That is why this post is dedicated to the ANKA-3. It exemplifies the Turkish miracle. Together with KIZIL ELMA of Baykar, ANKA-3 of Tusas will be flying in tandem with KAAN, soon to prove itself the sole fifth generation aircraft in the Western Alliance. One pilot will be flying with 10 supersonic drones on the wings.

What Does ANKA-3 Have?
ANKA-3 is a milestone in Turkish drone ventures. During the maiden flight, it stayed in the air for about an hour and soared to eight thousand feet.
ANKA-3 is stealth. It sees with Turkish-made “eyes” from the sky. Plus, it carries Turkish made radars. Its speciality is to see without being seen.
ANKA-3 carries nearly two tons of sophisticated ordinances, including SOM-J cruise missiles. No US aircraft has access to it, never mind drones of any kind.
ANKA-3 is a heavy bombardment drone. Unlike the first-generation TB-2, it will penetrate deep into enemy territory for massive bombing raids and rounds.
ANKA-3, finally, is built to be deployed on the first and only drone carrier, TCG Anadolu. Do all these points make ANKA-3 a Game Changer? You bet your life!
What Does America Have Comparable?
America has a lot bigger in size and payload drones than what Türkiye has. America has a monster of drones that can be guided via satellites.
Israel
Let’s not go into what Israel has because Israel used to have. Nowadays, in the best-case scenario, Israel has the second-best drone in the world next to the Turkish TB-2. Yet, that too does not have a market anymore.
Frankly, Israeli drones had problems long before the war in Gaza. Israeli drones were prone to mechanical failures. Until the arrival of TB-2, no one had a better choice. Ironically, that was Türkiye’s problem until a decade ago.
The drones that Türkiye bought from Israel did not fly well. That is why Türkiye began developing its own drones. Lately, Greece sought it can depend on drones by Israel. No sooner, similar complaints came from Greece.

Israel and America Did It to Themselves
In other words, the demise of the drone business for the US and Israel is no one’s fault but their own. The US and Israel did it to themselves with their ill-advised practices.
The export policies of America had a lot of restrictions. They either did not sell the latest versions or tried to limit the performances of those that they delivered.
No sooner, client-states realized that they were being short changed. By then, the US and Israel at one time controlled 75 of the global market in drones.
Now, tables have turned. Neither the US nor Israel has any good standing in the international arena. Nowadays, they cannot even sell on a discount anymore.
Türkiye Now Dominates the Drone Market
Instead, Türkiye dominates the drone market with TB-2. It is cheap and does the job well. It is like the Kalashnikof of modern times. More than 30 countries have them.
Now, Baykar also has AKINCI, TB-3, KIZILELMA as the next generation drones. Each more formidable than the previous with ordinances, radars, and capabilities.
Meanwhile, ANKA-3 is out of this world. It is the third generation of ANKA. It will fly in tandem with the Turkish fifth generation fighter aircraft KAAN, also by Tusas.
As a “wingmen”, together with KIZILELMA, they will represent something the world has never seen yet. As if AKINCI, Aksungur (ANKA-2), and TB-3 are chopped liver.
What About KAAN Missing Maiden Flight Yesterday?
KAAN was supposed to make the maiden flight a day before ANKA-3. Instead, TUSAS announced that a few-times-delayed ANKA-3 will make its own maiden flight.
At this stage, it should give no comfort to the antagonists. Türkiye will soon have KAAN in the air too. Originally, the projections required longer development time.
In short, the plan was for KAAN to fly with KIZILELMA, doing the dog fights and ANKA-3 bombing raids. Now that the wingmen are in the air, nothing can hold KAAN back.

Doesn't Türkiye take over America with KAAN, KIZILELMA, and ANKA-3 in the picture then?
America has nothing in the air resembling KIZILELMA or ANKA-3. As for the F-35 and even F-22, they are suspects.
There are reports out there KAAN will have better features than either. The problems of F-35 are well known. What about the shortcomings of F-22?
The story about these two American fifth generation fighters is a tragedy. Only because America has been decaying since 1992 in the hands of Globalists.
However, it is not for me to go into the details. ANKA-3 for now should be a sufficient warning, if KIZILELMA did not since it began flying a few months earlier.
On that note, no one should wait for KAAN to join them in the air. Instead, it is time for us to think how to invest in America and become great again.
