Therefore, all of you must have information about any drone of any country. So let's start today's important topic.

Made by the US, the MQ9 drone is an unmanned combat aerial vehicle. This drone has been designed and manufactured by General Atomic Aeronautical Systems, a well-known American company. This drone made its first flight in 2001. More than 200 units of this drone have been made so far. The thing to consider is this. That this drone is operated by 2 persons. Here you must be thinking that these are unmanned aerial vehicles. There is no room for two people to sit in them, then how? Two people operate it. So let me tell you for your information, that even to fly it, it needs to have two people at its ground station. Who operate it.

Now, let's talk about the Turkey-made Bayraktar Akansi drone in comparison.

The Turkish Med Bayraktar Akansi drone is an unmanned combat aerial vehicle drone. This drone has been developed in Turkey's defense industry called Baker. This drone successfully completed its first flight on December 6, 2019. About 8 units of this drone have been made so far.

While the length of the Turkey-made Reactor drone is 12.5 meters, the wing span is 20 meters and the height of this drone is 4 meters. This drone, made by Turkey's Baker Company, is capable of taking off with a maximum weight of 5500 kg. The speed of this drone is hovering at 361 km.

The American MQ9 drone is capable of traveling at a hover speed of 482 km. The range of this drone is 1900 km. While the range of the discussed drone made by Turkey is 5000 kilometers. That is, the drone made by Turkey is even ahead of the US MQ9 in range. If we talk about the service ceiling, the service ceiling of the American drone is 15420 meters. That is, this drone. It has the ability to fly at a height of 15420 meters. America's MQ9 drone can fly continuously for 27 hours, while in Turkish Meddon this capability is limited to 24 hours.

The US-made MQ9 drone is equipped with a 900-horsepower turbofan engine. Whereas two small turbofan engines have been used in the Turkish drone. Speaking of armaments that double the importance of these drones, 8 hardpoints are installed in the Turkish Bay Rector Akansi Dun. Through which this drone has the ability to carry weapons of 1350 kg. And among these weapons, there are lasers, guided bombs, and missiles.

In comparison, the American MQ9 drone has 7 hard points.

This drone is equipped with DAS-1 and MTS-B multi-spectral targeting systems as well as APY-8 Lynx 2 radar system.

 While the Turkish-made drone is equipped with the National Esa Radar, Asselson Common Approach Targeting System and Electric War Fare Pod.

Now if we talk about the countries using these drones. So today marks almost 20 years since the creation of the US MQ9 drone. Therefore, this drone is being used by about 7 countries so far. These include France, India, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States. While on the other hand, Turkish-made Bayraktar drones are being used only by Turkey itself. The reason is this. That this drone completed its first flight on December 6, 2019,which means that the year 2019 has almost passed. According to this calculation, it has been only 100 years since this drone made its first flight. This is the reason why more than 6 buyers of the MQ9 drone have acquired it in comparison. And more than 200 units of these drones have been built. While the Turkish company is designing and manufacturing its Bayraktar Agency drone by further improving it.
