BENJAMIN ,   SINGAPORE   (07.17.10)
ALL OTHER COPY THE TECHNOLOGY AN DTHAT INCLUDES THE TURKS ! THIS IS THE BEAUTY AND THE DETRIMENT....JEW INVEST AND INVENT ....IN THE END WE ALSO GET THE TASTE OF ANTI- ISRAELI SENTIMENTS... JEWISH PRODUCTS AND INVENTIONS ARE GOOD BUT...JEW ARE NO GOOD ! THE PRICE WE HAVE TO PAY !
2. BULLShoes!!
Israeli 2   (07.17.10)
Copying is not inventing, designing and producing its very first own. Turkey is dancing bravado just as Iran. Pathetic and shameful.
3. TURKISH DRONES BETTER ? THEN WHY DID THEY BUY FROM ISRAEL ?
ABRAHAM ben JACOB ,   CANADA   (07.17.10)
4. We need to help the Kurds fight the turkeys
jason white ,   afula,israel   (07.17.10)
No Israeli company should help the turkish armed forces to massacre Kurds. We should help the Kurds fight the turks.
5. no doubt it is better than heron :))))
Dana Rothschild ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (07.17.10)
6. promise not to use it against Muslims we may sell it to you!
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (07.17.10)
By the way those who claim electronic equipment of Israeli heron is better: Turkey developed its own electronic system using Italian tech and USED IN HERONS as well In fact it seems we bought those 10 sample Herons to reverse engineering, I cannot show my sympaties with your deep frustration as Internet technologies cannot show fingers!! You drone Sellers!
7. :: Turks have good Iranian teachers how to photoshop
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (07.17.10)
Kurdish Freedom Fighters will have no problem taking it down since such a huge green crescent is painted on the cardboard frame.
8. :: As capable as the Heron? Then it is the Heron!
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (07.17.10)
And why it is going to be delivered 3 years from now? Because everyone will forget about the promises then and there will not be any questions why it will never be delivered.
9. they stole ideas but we should not have sold
ralph   (07.17.10)
10. Better than Heron? HA! & Hezbollah says it won in 2006, LOL!
Jake ,   USA   (07.17.10)
11. no weapons to turkey
real vision ,   usa   (07.17.10)
Some leaders in Israel must be brain dead to have sold any advanced weaponry or technology to turkey. The turkish govt is NO FRIEND of Israel or to Jews
12. Turkey
Dave ,   Bs.Aires-Argentina   (07.17.10)
Better than the Heron ? - LOL ! ! In spite of the turkish trend to the Islamic Fundamentalism, it's clear that the American and Israeli Governments and People are not fools = Turkey, say "Good-Bye" to the US and Israel weaponry Technology.
13. Better than the Heron? Lets compare
The Dude   (07.17.10)
Really? 24 hour vs 52 hour flight time 9,144m vs 10668 m maximum height Only does surveillance vs. Can also launch weapons systems Turkish sensors vs. Israeli sensors built with the minds that build intel chips, Microsoft windows, Philips products, IBM systems, and so on. Not combat tested vs. thousands of combat hours Supposedly the only thing the Anka does better is the de-icing, which the Heron seems completely adequate at doing. And the question of fuel usage which is more consumer specific... So just by basic comparison this boast, is just crap, like the Anka itself...
14. Why make the comparison with Israel unless you have an
Francesca ,   Italy   (07.17.10)
inferiority complex..??!! If Erdogan's Turkey is so assured of itself, why compare it to anyone, let alone Israel, a country whose right to exist the Turkish government increasingly question while it tries to become part of the axis-of-evil? I hope the Turkish people realize what Erdogan is cooking for them, and the food is not going to be so good.
15. #13
Mike Diaz ,   San Juan, U.S.A.   (07.17.10)
"So just by basic comparison this boast, is just crap, like the Anka itself..." Why are you so surprised? This illness called boasting is the same one suffered by Hamas, Hizbullah, Iranian Mullahs, etc. and it shows the path Turkey is following. It's like you said; crap.
16. What is the conclusion?
American ,   Los Angeles,US   (07.17.10)
Never help someone who call you infidel and teach his children how to wipe you out off the face of the earth.
17. Congratulations Turkey !!
SM ,   UK   (07.17.10)
Of course it's better than the heron cos the heron was built by hated Jewish infidels! And that's always a blow to 'islamic pride.' As for the 'better de - icing system on the anka it's probably cos it can't climb as high as the Heron! In fact without any 'foreign technology' the turks have precious little indigenous capability of their own and would be hard pressed to invent a new 'saddle bag' for their donkeys. Turkish pride though, is a sight to behold and I'm sure the whole nation are strutting around like peacocks, so why spoil it for them. This is just the start of a bright new islamic dawn and a time for myths and legends.
18. The TAI logo on that drone looks remarkably similar to the
The Dude   (07.17.10)
IAI logo http://www.iai.co.il/22031-en/homepage.aspx Just covered up the symbol, and simply slashed a T. But obviously this is all a coincidence...
19. Not like the Heron, closer to the Hermes 900
Pini   (07.17.10)
I think Anka will be operational in 2012. At that time, Hermes 900 will also be operational as well as other MALE UAVs, some will be able to carry weapons (Heron's weak point). Turkey will find it hard to sell the drone abroad due to competition from more experienced suppliers.
20. anka
gavriel eskel ,   maoz zion, israel   (07.17.10)
anka (ankka) in finnish means duck, thats what this turkish drone is at best. i wonder if it flyes at all or like a duck
21. No doubt
Recai   (07.17.10)
No doubt, We know that Israel already helped Kurds.
22. What didn't Israel invent?
Robert ,   Brisbane, mAustralia   (07.17.10)
#1 Drone, an Israeli invention! Balderdash! Rocket propelled photo-reconaissance drones were being used by the British military long before Israel was conjured up. It would not surprise me to read here that Israel invented the wheel.
23. Ignorance And Narrowmindedness?
Chemstar ,   Cleveland, USA   (07.17.10)
Like the cars, drones technology is available to all. Any country can make a drone if the developed countries will sell them advance parts. If you can check the all parts used in Anka and Heron, you will find foreign made parts in both of them. If Anka is better than Heron today then tomorrow there will be another Heron which be better than this Anka and so forth. The progress will always goes on.
24. WHAT DID AUSTRALIA INVENT
