The Turkish made British drone. Turkish Fly BVLOS Technology introduces an armed version of the Jackal UAV, that it has developed entirely with equity capital in Turkey and exported to the UK on April 25, 2022.

[@wharfedale831]

Turkey was able to circumvent a US export ban on killer drones with the help of a missile component first developed in the UK, allowing Ankara to become an emerging power in the lethal technology, which experts warn is dangerously proliferating )) yes and no.

[@poppinc8145]

@@wharfedale831 There's no "yes and no". Jackal is literally a Turkish drone produced by Fly BVLOS and was sold in April 2022 to the UK. It was merely modified in cooperation with its UK partner Flyby Technologies to fire missiles which was then tested in October 2022 in front of the RAF. IDK which Turkish UCAV you mean that has the UK-designed component, or whether it's all of them, but having a foreign component doesn't make it a foreign drone or co-production. Turkey has the full export rights to its popular UCAVs such as the TB2, Akinci, Anka, etc and there's never been an export permit required of the UK. Many of the countries that the UCAVs have been sold to could never buy UK weapons themselves. Meanwhile, Fly BVLOS owns the IP to the Jackal overall and therefore Turkey controls its export permit.

It would likely be deployed and operated at quite low altitudes. This thing could wipe out AA without even being seen. I don't think it's going to be flying sorties from range like a manned aircraft

Finally! Honestly surprised it's taken so long to do this. Really hope they'll do drone tanks and mobile AA soon since our adversaries are probably making the same things.

There will be no drone tanks because tanks with humens are better mobility

Very decent control exhibited with the recoil from the launch. Looks like a very stable platform for such activity.

[@sgtjyf01]

Its basically a recoiless design where the backblast counteracts the recoil. The biggest difference is that the tail of the drone has to be design to ensure the backblast doesn't damage it when firing.

[@able2220]

It basically goes to spin as it fires but cuts video off before you get to see the full affect.

Most people in the comments say that the product is a UK product. This is completely wrong, in fact, the product was first sold from Turkey to the UK. If you do the necessary research, you will understand that the product is a completely Ankara-based Turkish product. The Ankara company strategically sold the patent rights of its product to the UK

[@io9883]

Is it necessary to play with nationalism and populism in business to create controversy? Many British company employees are foreigners, and deliberately emphasizing nationality and race will only highlight short-sightedness.

@@io9883 I didn't mention nationalism and racism. All I was talking about was this. I said that the main manufacturer of this vehicle is Türkiye.
