This is the type of launch system, if not THE launch system, used in EF for APKWS-II rockets.
Our Cirit missiles are 15 kg each. With a 30 kg launcher, 7 Cirit would weigh 135 kg in total. 2 of these on either side of the wings would give you 540kg of payload with 28 missiles.
Hurkus 2 aircraft has a payload capacity of 1500kg. It is built to handle Cirit from day one. Unconfirmed sources put it’s per hour flight cost in the region of 1000 to 1500 dollars.
Typhoon’s per hour cost is around 50 thousand dollars. F16‘s is in excess of 25 thousand dollars. Hurkus can stay airborne longer.
Especially if operating under 20000ft, Hurkus flight endurance is more than double that of an EF or F16 due to denser air where almost all kamikaze drones operate.
Air force will have to adjust it’s organisational set up to accommodate Hurkus.
