Very low operational cost while being precise and effective. Perfect for anti-PKK ops.Why though?
I was thinking of the same thing. No other unmanned aircraft of the same class exists on the market. It would have much less endurance compared to MQ-9 or Heron-2 but with a faster cruising speed, it may fill the role where quick response is needed.Hürkuş with its top speed of 574km can react rather quickly to threats and can also be considered for unmanned operations. It is the next asset up to the Akıncı UAV for speed. So how does it really compare to Akıncı for all their capabilities?
By then, an F-16 is much better suited.How feasible would it be for TAI to make this aircraft a UAV?

I'm just brainstorming but there is a large market share for combat UAV's.By then, an F-16 is much better suited.

There must be many tools in the surgeon's tool-set to address varying operating conditions.I'm not a defense expert so I'm not afraid of asking simple questions.
Aren't drones cheaper and more effective to operate than aeroplanes like Hürkuş?

Do you expect the Turkish military to use Hürkuş instead of drones for COIN operations in an operational environment where terrorists increasingly equipping themselves with air defense systems?
it can carry 1.5 ton ammunition... show me a single drone in Turkish airforce which can carry it? it can be used as a drone too, which it doesnt need to fly 24 hours, it can shoot the missiles and come back... some countries still buy it, even USA bought it from brasil..I'm not a defense expert so I'm not afraid of asking simple questions.
