Anka 3 Drone Development Update

When will we see the delivery of the Anka- 3s, their entry into the inventory?

As you know, we built two prototypes of the Anka- 3.

We did quite a lot of testing with them.

We learned what we needed to change, what we needed to improve,

and we updated the design with what we learned.

Now for what we call the second configuration,

meaning the final mass production configuration, we have started prototype

production. It will be ready by the end of this year,

and in the first quarter of next year we are planning the first flight of the

new version. - Yes.- At the same time…- Meaning its matured model.

- Of course, its current state is already mature,

but…- Yes.- But…- For mass production.

- Both for mass production and… ...

so that we can further reduce the radar cross- section in terms of stealth... ...

we made a lot of, a series of fine improvements.

Now, paint and coating... ...

our applications have also improved.

Now, all of these coming together... ...

where the flight range and flight time have increased... ...

and the takeoff weight and payload... ...

have increased from 1.3 tons to 1.7 tons...

... an Anka 3 is coming.- We are talking about a grown- up Anka.

- A little, it didn't grow much, just a little.

At the same time, both air- to- ground and air- to- air...

... meaning it has also become usable in engagements.

So... - Previously, it was air- to- ground...- It was air- to- ground.

Its main mission is still air- to- ground.

- It retains those features.- Of course,

of course, there is no change there.- But air- to- air as well...

But if desired, if needed, these features as well... ...

Anka 3 is a platform we can use, capable of carrying payloads.

Its stealth feature is at the highest level; as you know, it has no tail. Yes.

And there is also very serious interest from abroad. And domestically,

we will start our deliveries in the second half of 2027, hopefully.

What is the status of its engine?

- Its engine is Ukrainian.- Ukrainian.

Right now we don't have any issues with that, but... ...

the other different, TF6000 at TEI... ...

developments, we are already following them closely anyway. Yes.

There is progress there as well.

But just in case, we are also evaluating different engine options.
