DIHA looks great. The 5km range laser designator and 7km range laser range finder look juicy. We won't need to risk a TB2 to paint a target for laser-guided munitions. Every artillery battalion and every navy and coast guard ship should have Bayraktar DIHA.
The range of the Kagem is 300+km in ATA(Automatic Target Acquisition) mode. It is range is 50+km in man in the loop mode.
It has 360km/h cruise speed and 1-hour endurance. Terminal attack speed is over 720km/h
It has advanced AI-supported autopilot and AI-supported target acquisition system.
TB2...
IR Passive search, detection, and tracking
Superior target detection range via LWIR imaging
Single/Multiple target tracking
Wide scan area
Low scan time
Narrow/Wide viewing angle imaging
It is a lab prototype for patent application. Aselsan can easily use more powerful laser diodes for a more powerful laser beam. Scalability is the important part.
Lol. They are not forced to work. They are mostly single young people and chose to stay for extra hours. I sometimes skip a meal when I play a computer game and sometimes eat in front of the computer.
Erdoğan on US Sale of Auto-GCAS and Link-16 for F-16s to Turkey:
"It is a delayed, positive step, but it is not very important for us."
It is known that Turkiye developed its own GCAS and data-link system similar to link-16. As always once we developed something on our own. Our friends...
Aselsan's relevant patent of its laser gun.

BTW It seems like the Gökdemir air defense system will use Gökdoğan missiles land launched versions. The primary difference between Gökdoğan air-launched and land-launched versions are redesigned rocket motor. It will have vertical launch capability.
Yes, It has nothing to do with Rheinmetall. Rheinmetall might have helped Koreans to develop their gun but that matter has nothing to do with us. Koreans transferred the rights of the 120mm L55 gun to us under the Altay project.
There are Korkut turrets, Korhan turrets laser gun, and the Gökdemir air defense system. It seems there is a good amount of production of existing systems and prototype production of new systems.
I see zero problems with the nose. The nose is angled and the chopper is leaning backward on its tail when it is on the ground. When it flies you will understand what I mean.
Not every license is created equal. MKE is also producing 35mm Oerlikon guns, MP-5 submachine guns and G-3 rifles under license but that doesn't mean MKE can't export them or can't produce them as many as needed. This is not a license like F-16.
Valkyrie is an obese cruise missile(2700kg MTOW) and what you quote is the flyaway cost. It doesn't include sensor payload or weapon payload. It is more like an advanced decoy than an unmanned fighter.
