    Turkey is preparing to launch production of the ANKA unmanned aerial
    vehicle, the Anadolu agency said on Thursday. According to the agency,
    the UAV went through all the test flights, and is now preparing to
    be manufactured.

    Turkey worked to create its first reconnaissance UAV since 2004,
    with the drone's test being carried out since December 2012.

    Earlier a spokesman of the Turkish Defence Industry Ministry, Murad
    Bayar said that Turkey plans to start batch production of the ANKA
    UAV next year.

    In recent years, the Turkish military, industrial company has focused
    on manufacturing domestic defence products.

    At present, Turkey conducts work manufacturing the UAV Simsek
    (Lightning). This is the second model of the UAV designed by the
    Turkish aerospace company.

    Its length is 2.3 metres with a wingspan of 1.5 metres. The maximum
    take-off weight is 75 kilogrammes, with a speed of 740 kilometres
    per hour.
