I kinda doubt it with the A and even B variant because of TWR constraints (B with afterburner at 6.5 tons reaches 0.7). But KIZILELMA-C with two turbofans rated at 44 kN with afterburner has a TWR of around 1.05 when weighing 8.5 tons which is near F-22 with full fuel and internal weapons.

MAM-T actually managed to hit a moving small target like that too, and I don't think it was going slowly. The bigger warhead's difference is felt here too.
NATF feels unconventional to go with as a variable sweep wing, I am going by the theory that they will make changes on the design like LM did on F35 for F35C. Wider wings, arresting hook, stronger landing gear, etc...
T629 I would doubt but big yes for T929. You have a greater space in terms of payload for powerful radars and light cruise missiles (ÇAKIR, KUZGUN TJ...)
Indeed and I think I actually broke it down somewhere after IDEF23. When I talked to SEFİNE about the launchers and showed the official my estimations on Blender, they revealed that this launcher is a placeholder and the finalised launcher will have two-axis movement.
Compound cargo helicopter project went pretty quick in two days.
Passenger capacity beats AW101 with 40 people and you can carry UGVs up to class of KAPGAN, ERTUNGA etc.
It is, there is a very good reason I explicity said that it is meant to lay low on the sea. The reason Kartal class managed to pull the sneeki breeki on Arleigh is its super-low structure, simply hiding between waves.
I'm thinking of alternative payloads but I think I need a larger hull (which...
Time to revive this dead thread with some spicy stuff.
Have been thinking of a scaled family of USVs during my boredom in finals. Decided to name it after the Mako Shark (Camgöz).
This one is a small hit and runner specifically for missile attacks. I had some insipration from an exercise where...
Yeah, I even made my TB2 and AKINCI w SUNGUR illusturation with that twin launcher back in my time with defence turk. I guess they want it to serve as a side weapon on outer pylons.
