Spike-NLOS is a 70+kg missile with a range of 25-30km. I think we should have a 100kg missile with a range of 50km and a heavier warhead rather than a 50kg missile which fits nowhere. It is slightly heavier than Umtas (37,5kg). I would rather have an Umtas-ER (50kg) than Kuzgun-KY (50kg)...
They aren't in the same class. Kuzgun-KY (solid fuel) is a 100kg missile. Umtas is a lot smaller and lighter. Kuzgun-KY is even bigger than Spike-NLOS. IMHO it is what a real NLOS missile should be. Kuzgun is very flexible and will be a force multiplier for airforce, land forces, and navy. Think...

Turning C-130s into firefighting planes with kits is not safe. The US lost one C-130 in the mid-air because of that. TAF helicopter fleet doesn't have buckets to carry water.
ÇFR(Çok Fonksiyonlu radar/Multi-Function Radar-X band) consists of over 1000 T/R modules. UMR(Uzun Menzilli Radar/Long Range Radar S band) should have around 4000. UMR is the same as EIRS the difference is CAFRAD will have 4 of them for 360 degree coverage.
Baykar CTO Selçuk Bayraktar: We are at the contract signing phase with 10 countries.
Big cash will flow to the Baykar. I hope Baykar decides to use Aselsan Aselflir-F500C when it becomes available.
