From early 2021,TSK will encounter a new conundrum. They will have at least 4 domestic MALE drone systems competing against each other,and all are deemed 'strategic' as per TSK terminology. Here's why:
(1/n)
TUSAS Anka-S useful payload capacity(UPC):250 kg
TUSAS Anka+ UPC:350 kg
TUSAS Aksungur UPC:750 kg
Bayraktar AKINCI UPC:1500 kg

These 4 choices must be whittled down to at least 2.
(2/n)
There is no doubt about AKINCI making it to the inventory,so TSK has to chose between the other 3 competing TUSAS platforms. At first glance,choice seems obvious:for new systems only procure Aksungur. But that makes sense if UPC was the only criterion (3/n)
