I have no doubt that the Murad-100a AESA radar will be integrated, but the institution that will solve this problem will be Aselsan, not Tusaş. They will simply change the antenna's form factor.

The radar antenna will likely adopt a more rectangular geometry. This results in a horizontally slimmer but wider antenna design. The trade-off may be a slightly reduced downward field of view, but this is compensated by a larger horizontal aperture and improved radar performance. Ultimately, it represents a classic engineering compromise between antenna geometry, coverage angles, and overall capability.

thanks to UAE and they Chinese shorad systems. IF we want to break the chain in Sudan we must use kamikaze drones to destroy it.

and people want to sell Kaan..

"Our crazy generals" ha!

The Anka-3 features a gently rounded nose, meaning the rectangular antenna shape wouldn’t need much flattening. As a result, this radar could even operate in the S-band.

I’m guessing the antenna will be mounted in the nose area in a two-part V-shape, angled slightly toward the ground rather than facing straight ahead. This tilt should make its rectangular shape appear more square, which would help in achieving S-band characteristics.

I think the radar’s primary role will be scanning the ground in SAR mode instead of detecting airborne threats.

Not really, it is known that both planes shall have twin engines.

Despite all Akıncı loses, these UAVs have inflicted sufficient damage during SEAD operations of mixed type of targets. And all being done without ESM / ECM pods so far, or maybe we have deployed some to improve the "library".

Not too far from today Turkish companies will be offering the richest ESM / SIGINT library ever .

Are they still using MAM-L with Akıncı? Because if they are, Baykar may have unlocked a real life money cheat.

It is Turkish drones that helped sudan retrieve khartoum back and change the fate of war drastically. Losing 1 2 akıncı is just fine and understandable.

These numbers do not really mean much. A plane needs more and more power to realize its peak potential. Kızılelma needs the TF10000 engine for its mainstay performance levels. Even that seems to be going to be a lackluster performance barely reaching mach 1. Kızılelma can reach peak performance with a custom engine or a major engine upgrade to an evailable larger engine. Speeds also must be considered with full loadout to be informative.

Is Mach 1 lackluster, that is sucbjective, you probably rarely need that speed.

The most important are not the engines or speed or whatever. KE has to have a titanium monoblock structure to overcome those manoeuvres and G shocks. Otherwise, it can tear apart like a piece of glass.

Comparing with Kaan with with 34750 kg MTOW and 1.8 Mach speed Kızılelma only has 8500 kg MTOW and probably under 1.3 Mach speed even in its fully matured incarnation. This performance would be edaquate for its role and will pobably enable it to do away with expensive materials and keep its cost down.
