Vazduhoplovstvo Vojske Crne Gore (AF)
The first Bell 412 arrived on 13 April 2018 in-country, with a
fly-by over the capital city Podgorica before touching down
at Golubovci. The ‘new’ helicopter was escorted by three
Gazelles of the VGC. The dismantled Bell was transported
by a Cargolux B747-800 to Prague on April 6 where it was
assembled by the local Bell Helicopter facility. Besides military
tasks, the VCG will use the helicopter also for fire-fighting,
medical evacuation and search and rescue operations. The
new arrival, which was manufactured in 2002, still carried
its civil registration N356TD and its ‘civil’ looking livery. The
two other helicopters will be the stronger version of the Bell
412EPI. They are expected in the last quarter of 2018.

The Serbian Defense Minister Aleksandar Vulin reported
on 22 April 2018 that the Serbia Air Force has received four
MiG-29s from Belarus. The four Fulcrums donated by Belarus
add to the four original Serbian Fulcrums still in service and
six MiG-29s received earlier from Russia. These six surplus
Russian Air Force MiG-29s (four single-seaters and two twin-
seaters) are being modified to MiG-29SD (Serbian Modified)
since their delivery in October 2017 at Batajnica. Eventually,
Serbia will have an operational fleet of fourteen MiG-29s.
Aleksandar Vulin said that while visiting Moscow in April
2018 he had had follow-up talks with his Russian colleagues
on supplies of four Mi-35s, four Mi-17s and army hardware
like tanks and air defence systems.

Anka-I UAV
16-012 TAI MIT? THB-002 aug17
Another recently revealed version of the Anka UAV family
is the Anka-I (Intelligence). The signal intelligence (SIGINT)
variant of the Turkish TAI Anka medium altitude, long
range (MALE) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is undergoing
testing by Turkish Aerospace Industries at Mürted. A picture
was revealed of the Anka-I flying over that base. The Anka-I
has a bunch of antennas for Communication Intelligence
(COMMINT) and side mounted arrays housing Electronic
Support Measures and Electronic Intelligence (ESM/ELINT)
system. If the Anka-I is fielded, it will be most probably
assigned to the multi-service 14ncü İnsansız Uçak Sistemleri
Üs Komutanlığı (14th Unmanned Aircraft Systems Base
Command) at Batman. According to remarks on our Facebook
page, the Anka-I was developed for the MIT (National
Intelligence Organisation) but that is not confirmed.

In February, the first TAI ANKA-S (SatCom) UAV variant
was delivered to the Turkish Air Force. The ANKA-S
communicates with Turksat-4B satellite via SATCOM. It can
be easily distinguished from the from the other Anka versions
because it features a huge bumped nose, containing the
satellite communication equipment. The satcom capabilities
will give the UAV a range of thousands of kilometres and thus
increases the strategic capabilities of the platform.
An engine choice for Turkey’s TF-X indigenous fighter should
emerge early this year. The Turkish Aerospace Industries-
developed and produced TFX is a twin-engine, all-weather
fighter jet that is being developed with technological
assistance from BAE Systems. The aircraft is slated to replace
the Turkish Air Force’s F-16s and is planned to be offered to
foreign air forces as well. The new fighter is planned to make
its maiden flight by 2023.

Hurkus B
17-101 TAI for 122 Filo jan18
In January, the indigenous advanced TAI Hurkus B trainer
performed its maiden flight. This appears to have taken place
at Konya rather than at its birthplace Mürted Air Base (for-
merly Akinci). The aircraft performed its maiden flight in a
primer livery but with a Turkish Air Force serial which indi-
cates a forthcoming delivery in 2017.
