ANKA III Deploys Tolun from Internal Bay for the First Time TurDef
Turkish Aerospace’s ANKA III stealth UCAV launched ASELSAN’s Tolun munition for the first time from its internal bay, advancing airstrike capabilities.
According to Turkish Aerospace’s social media announcement, ANKA III, equipped with ASELSAN’s indigenous Tolun munition, conducted the release at an altitude of 20,000 feet while cruising at 180 knots. The UCAV demonstrated advanced operational capabilities by opening its internal bay and deploying the payload.
This internal launch showcased ANKA III’s engineering prowess and operational maturity, underscoring its ability to perform stealth strikes by maintaining a low Radar Cross Section (RCS) until the strike moment. The ANKA-III features a flying wing (delta wing geometry) design characterised by its flat structure and lack of vertical surfaces or axes. This configuration grants the aircraft a potentially low radar cross-section (RCS), but it lacks agile manoeuvrability in return. This milestone marks a critical step toward fulfilling the need for surprise attack capabilities in modern combat scenarios.
