Couldn't agree more mate. Sure, they can carry long range stuff on the pylons attack from stand-off distance yadayadayada but the main purpose of having both KE and Anka-3 is for them to have low observability, otherwise the only thing that is separating them from Akıncı is their speed because Akıncı can carry as much as either one of them as well.
It is not an easy task to use Internal Weapons Bay to fire missiles. There are various technical issues that need to be addressed.
The primary issues stem from complex, unsteady aerodynamics during transition from the enclosed bay conditions to the free airstream conditions. This is even harder in supersonic state.
Some of the Aerodynamic and Launch Challenges
Complex and Unsteady Flow: When doors open at high speeds, they introduce complex air flow, including shock waves, which create an unstable, turbulent environment for the missile.
Aerodynamic Interference: Strong interference between the aircraft and the separating missile, particularly in supersonic flight, can cause unpredictable trajectories and threaten plane’s safety.
Aeroelastic Effects: Due to the high speed and force of ejection, elastic deformation of the missile (and the aircraft wing) can significantly affect the launch, changing the missile's attitude angles (pitch, yaw, roll) and potentially leading to unsafe separations.
Ejection Requirements: Missiles must be forcibly ejected (using pneumatic or hydraulic rams) rather than just dropped to ensure they clear the boundary layer and do not re-impact the aircraft.
Missile Design : missiles designed for internal weapon bays must adhere to very specific, stringent, and often custom-tailored criteria that differ significantly from those carried on external wing pylons.
But nothing is easy in this world. If it were everyone would be doing it. Besides; Kaan engineers will have to address these difficulties too. So it would be a good rehearsal exercise to fit that capability to these aircraft.
