Discussions between
Turkey and Kazakhstan began at KADEX 2014. TUSAŞ and Kazarnaulyexport
(Kazspecexport) agreed to the deal and was inked last October. The Kazakhstan
Armed Forces will get three Medium Altitude Long Endurance (MALE) ANKA UAV
systems. Kazakhstan is the world's largest landlocked country and the
ninth-largest in the world. It is nearly the size of all of Western Europe.
On the other hand, the
population is less than 20 million people, with the majority of them residing
in cities; the steppes, on the other hand, are mainly uninhabited. Russia
borders the nation from the north; Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan are
located south, and China on the east. In addition, the nation has coasts on the
Caspian Sea and the Aral Sea. The nation has an exceedingly harsh climate and a
tough soil structure to control by land. ANKA has been in negotiations for a
long time for these vast regions requiring a small population to patrol. The
most significant benefits of ANKA were its weather-resistant equipment, great
carrying capacity, and ability to work across a large region owing to SatCom.
