Akinci will be used over turkish Terretory to Supplement Ground based AD Asessts. Till 2027 - 28 we need to Wait until Hisar-A + / O + and Siper Product-1 become full Operational.

I wouldn't use Akinci with AESA Radar for ofensive Role, rather for the defensive Missions against enemy Cruise Missiles and Drones. The Advantage of Akinci is the long loitering Time and it fly high.

Bear in mind the US need to focus it's Resources on China in the Pacific, for this Reason EU need to aggitate more on their own. If this EU Army become Reallity, it will be big Threat for Turkey in any Event of an Aegean/Cyprus War. We can inflict heavy losses to them, but I see no real Chance...
