MPAC is a seperate design that STM has recently started working on without a demand from SSB. It mainly intended to be modular and provide a more cost effective alternative to FAC55
Still waiting for Mr. Selçuk or Baykar Makina to release more details regarding payload types so that I can render it with different payload configs like with Akıncı
Not MK48 but true that it is a simple solution with inspiration from sideway exhaust MK48.
Existing launchers from HİSAR O+ are used here, which are connected to sideway exhausts.
About Yıldız
1-The concept was originally made with 16 HİSAR launchers but it was cut in half because of stability issues already present with the current Yıldız.
2-This is rather meant to accompany another FAC and provide limited air defense, keeping threats like helicopters and some old...
I mean Akıncı is often misinterpetated when it comes to its a2a usage. That thing can fly for many goddamn hours with its onboard AESA radar, and a few BVRAAMs. It lacks the kinematics of a fighter jet but like i said, that loitering time makes it a good piece of medium range air defense asset...
My personal answer to what Akdoğan and Gökhan might look like. I kinda expect Akdoğan to draw inspiration from SACM or Peregrine so I made a ressembling wing layout. For Gökhan, I made the intakes like that with the consideration of its possible integration into TF-X's or MIUS's internal weapon...
Loitering around for 10-12 hours and loitering around for a few hours are different things. Point being, MIUS and Akıncı will defend the airspace in different ways. Akıncı can hang around for a longer time with lower kinematic performance, thus shorter engagement range compared to MIUS. Either...
" * İ've further crazy idea: adding 8 AMRAAM on it, you would get flying, mobile, unmanned, Air defence / SAM system:) "
Akıncı is likely to fill that role with nose AESA radar+Gökdoğan/Akdoğan+HERİKKS and other air defense assets. Certainly some gourmet stuff for places like Agean sea where...
Selçuk Bayraktar indirectly stated in a tweet that Akıncı could fly at 500+ km/h
Also Akıncı doesn't have much issue with flying at 32k feet, at some hundereds of kilometers per hour, from a footage released by Selçuk bayraktar himself
Akıncı's shape is based on providing more lift, which is...
I feel like the arsenal of TİHAs will differ at a far greater degree this time. Aksungur might be used to deliever many MAM-Ls and 500lb bombs alike, perhaps kamikaze UAVs like Şimşek and Göksungur.
