That's the crux. They are using MAMs on Akıncı. It's a glorified TB2. Useless for modern proxy war, when the other side can deploy medium range SAMs on spot. We're not in 2020 anymore.
The TB2 was originally developed for operations against armed groups without air defense. Given the gradual phaseout of the A10 and Su-25 attack aircraft, fragile the TB2 is even less suited for this role.
If ASELFIR-500/600 was used in Sudan, it could easily detect air defense systems from 60–80 km away. I don’t think there’s a problem with image intelligence; on the contrary, it’s possible that long-range munitions were simply not provided to Sudan.
ASELSAN General Manager Ahmet Akyol:
A scaled-down Akinci would look even more beautiful. Especially from the front.
You want the season's final skipping the intermediate episodes, not happening.
It looks like its internal bays are designed only for air-to-air missiles. There will likely be no more than four of them. The rest of the weapons are mounted only on the pylons.
With that engine,not possible.
well baykar showcased som j in internal weaponsbay so thats that. Also maybe Gökbora could fit 6 because of the folding fins
There’s actually an overlooked detail — the new ÇAKIR missile features foldable wings, which likely means it was designed for KIZILELMA’s internal weapon bay. We might even see a test video of this very soon.
