TAI Anka-3

The TAI Anka-3 is a flying wing, stealth, jet-powered unmanned combat aerial vehicle in development by Turkish Aerospace Industries. It is designed to be carrier-capable and multirole, with artificial intelligence enabled systems and a loyal wingman role in which it works with piloted aircraft, and its first version is meant mainly to attack ground and sea targets while also able to carry air-to-air missiles. The prototype made its first flight in 2023, and the aircraft is described as one of two Turkish jet-powered stealth combat drones developed alongside the Bayraktar Kızılelma. The prototype specification lists one Ivchenko-Progress AI-322 turbofan, with the company planning to fit two TEI-TF10000 turbofan engines later, and a prototype crashed during a test flight in the Anatolian Eagle 2025 exercise on 25 June 2025. It uses the same avionics architecture and ground segment as the Anka and the Aksungur.
