I’m expecting that Navy and MİT will be the main customers of Aksungur as she’s diesel powered.

It depends how much fuel the Aksungur can carry. We know that Akinci has 2062 liter of internal fuel capacity.
Aksungur is lighter than Akıncı however Akıncı presumably has a larger fuel tank capacity; given these I think Aksungur will fly longer with its endurance optimized aerodynamics where Akıncı must be speed optimized mainly looking at their wingspans.
If the plane is highly optimized as it is external tanks will render it underpowered; you can gain in endurance but you will lose in speed, payload and altitude performance as the lifting capacity stays the same.
Further limit the ammunition to like 4 pieces and you can probably squeeze 48 hours out of it.yeah payload thats why I limeted only to 8 mam L should be feasible if mam L is enough on sea.. (my assumption) there was an article wichsaid 24/28 mam l that would make up +~<400kg for fuel
if it does not exceed the max payload and is fitted where hkg or else would be fitted it would hav eno effect on max altidute and endurance I just ask myself how much/long could it fly then since the more fuel it consumes over time it would have less weight..
if that would mean 30% more area coverage with less ammunition it may be worth it on sea but if we expect less range it may be just not worth it
I just was hoping for a platform for long distances on sea only for intel opts and maybe limeted strike capability that was may idea behind my question
