Very nice job by Roketsan. Now that a small jet engine is not wasted in a single scenario and a big family of munitions can be developed. 150 km range is near the edge of UAV optical sensor to detect and identify a corvette sized vessel in good weather so it can be used by UAVs effectively in EW&EMCON environment.
Everything is good with only few reservations for me (creme de la creme wishlist
, nobody reads this anyway...)
- don't rely on Çakır for all coastal batteries and support it with Atmaca too
- if possible quad or double pack Çakır to national VLS
- a disposable wing kit or a bigger wing for Çakır to extend range towards 250-300km (for high/med altitude release application).
- Different frame for Atmaca components like LRASM/JASSM to reach ranges unheard of...
- SAGE guy Mr. Okumuş must announce new weapons to counter Mr. İkinci
