        Turkey has rapidly become a leader in the development and production of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in recent years, and is taking this claim to the next level by making significant progress in autonomous combat systems with the Anka-4.

        The unmanned aerial vehicle, which is still in the concept phase, is expected to be not only an evolution of previous Anka models, but also a brand new weapon system with the potential to reshape the dynamics of modern warfare.

        According to Turkish sources, the Anka-4 will be an advanced attack UAV that integrates artificial intelligence (AI) for autonomous missions, placing Turkey at the forefront of countries targeting the integration of AI into military technology.

        Among the Anka-4’s key technical features is that it will be equipped with state-of-the-art ballistic missiles that can be integrated into unmanned aerial vehicle (UCAV) platforms. This will position Turkey as a major player in the development of new-generation high-speed offensive weapons.

        According to Murat İkinci, general manager of Roketsan, which is responsible for most of the unmanned aerial vehicle’s armament, these missiles will be able to reach speeds far beyond the speed of sound and provide unprecedented accuracy and effectiveness in attacks. “We are integrating ballistic missiles into our UAVs that will provide significant speed and precision in attacks. This will be our Iron Claw,” İkinci explains.

        Although the Anka-4 is still in the early stages of development, the project is expected to be of strategic importance to Turkey in the context of the increasing importance of unmanned aerial systems in modern conflicts. The Anka-4 is expected to serve as a “loyal wingman” to Türkiye’s fifth-generation fighter jet, the KAAN, which is also under development.

          Also their roles are both extremely different

          The SR-72 is a high-altitude spy UAV and from what I can tell isn’t supposed to be in any combat

            Easiest way to contextualize the SR-72 is to remember it’s basically another SR-71 but unmanned this time
