Interestingly, Anka's drone can carry loads of up to 350 kg including optical intai cameras, satellite-based communication systems, and weaponry. Anka is not only used for intai functions but as attack drones. To support this capability, Anka can transport several types of missiles, such as Smart Micro Munition (MAM) rocketsan Cirit land attack missiles. In addition, Anka can carry anti tank missiles.
