TB3 with ECO under the fuselage

The Turkish company Baykar has posted new footage of flight tests of the Bayraktar TB3 drone. At the same time, a number of distinctive features were noticed on the second prototype of this machine, which rose into the air.

Recent tests have revealed a number of new details. The UAV is equipped with the CATS electro-optical system from Aselsan. During takeoff, it is located inside the fuselage, and when the landing gear is lifted, it goes out

TB3 with ECO inside the fuselage

As noted, this retractable mechanism facilitates the take-off / landing of the drone in bad weather conditions, since its parts that provide aerodynamic resistance are inside the UAV at this time.

It will also favor the operation of a strike reconnaissance drone from offshore platforms. The relevant tests are planned to begin this year using the TCG Anadolu universal amphibious assault ship. Given the US refusal to supply Turkey with F-35B fighters with shortened takeoff and vertical landing, the wing of this UDC will most likely consist mainly of helicopters and large-sized drones, including Bayraktar TB3.

The lifting of the chassis is synchronized with the position of the ECO

This drone made its first flight on October 27, 2023. Since then, it has been finalized both for the needs of the Turkish Ministry of Defense and for foreign customers who have already appeared.
