Turkey intends to open the production of drones in Africa, in particular in Nigeria. This was announced by the ambassador of this country to Turkey Ismail Abba Yusuf.

According to the Ambassador's statement, the Turkish aerospace company Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) intends to build an enterprise and produce ANKA family drones on it. The choice of Nigeria is not accidental, this country actively buys Turkish weapons and generally cooperates with Ankara in many areas. Nigerians have already purchased Bayraktar TB2 drones for the army and SONGAR quadrocopters for the police from the Turks. The Nigerians also signed a contract for the supply of Turkish T129 ATAK combat helicopters.

There is a lot going on in the defense sector between Nigeria and Turkey, and in fact, quite recently Turkish Aerospace proposed to create a factory for the ANKA drone in Nigeria. This will be a new stage of cooperation

- the ambassador declared.

Earlier, Turkey planned to open the production of drones on the territory of Ukraine, but recently this topic somehow gradually faded into the background, and then finally died down. Apparently the Turks decided to shift their attention to Africa.

The development of the Anka drone began in 2004 after the US refused to sell Reaper and Predator attack drones to Turkey. Initially, TAI developed two versions of the device: Anka Block A (reconnaissance) and Anka Block B (shock), and the serial model, which received a full range of capabilities, was named Anka-S.

Anka-S has a maximum take-off weight of 1.7 tons (payload -350 kg). The wingspan is 17.4 m with a total length of less than 8 m. The drone is equipped with a 155 hp Thielert Centurion 2.0 piston engine. The declared maximum duration of being in the air is 24 hours, the flight altitude can reach 9 km.
