All nice and beautiful, but how effective and against what weaponry are they effective? Can they reliably Jam AIM-120A/B/C's, R-27/77 and MICA RF?

It doesn't work like that, ther are tactics to work on. Bleed the missile and dive from high to low altitude, no single system can protect you against a missile. Even the F35 will not able, to understand you can watch. Air to air engagement works like ground to air.

Check out the external weapons pod. Looks like low RCS design. F18’s supposed to have lowish RCS anyway. So !!

Alan WARNES from Shephard Media shared a tweet from his personal twitter account on 4th December. He said: “AC Kamra Chairman, Air Marshal Noman told me last week the first MFI-17 Super Mushshak for the Turkish Air Force has been rolled out of the paint shop. It looks smart. The first of 52 on order.”

What about Hürkuş C? Underwing a forward searching radar wouldnt be useful for hunting attack helis and UAVs?

Perhaps E/O 'CATS' could be used like IRST?

No idea, for fast flying targets under bad weather conditions a radar wouldnt be good, Considering attack helis (Apache-Atak)use a radar with IRST?
it will never be used like that, of course for close range may be, but when IRST able to see 100km away, CATS type of system has 3-4 times less range at best scenario, because IRST is specifically designed for that and search for a wide range of area... what if your camera look at down to look for ground targets?

HÜRKUŞ can be powered by TS1400

A single or twin engine UCAV is also possible. Imagine an Akıncı with twice the power.
MIUS need to use twin engine to carry 1 TON with my calculations to be honest.. thinking it will use 25kn Ukranian engine
A
The L-39 has a MTOW of 4.7 tons with 16.7 Kn engine. MIUS will have a 'take-off' weight of 3.5 tons..

This is a totally different engine than the TS1400 and the plane is different too. What I mean is a high altitude plane HALE, that can hit 60.000 with relatively smaller payload and with long endurance.
MIUS can both be single or twin engine, it will depend on the mission profiles and it must be changing over time.
you really think that i dont know their difference? i just compare with American drones and their engine, their weight... when you try to have a 5th generation drone, it also end up with lots of drag, just look at the f135 and f110 engine and f35 and f16. so its not fair to compare it with just engine power.

No offense. We were talking in the context of TS1400 engine which only serves propeller planes other than helicopters. A jet plane derailed the context out of the TS1400 engine. I wouldn't discuss different topics in the same post.
