AKINCI can lift 3, maybe 4 ÇAKIRs at the same time. This means that 3 AKINCIs can keep a dozen cruise missiles in the air for more than 12 hours. Targets detected by naval air patrol and air force elements can be rapidly engaged. The integration of cruise missiles into UCAVs really seems to open a new perspective in the context of Naval A2/AD.

Akinci platform successfully fire and hit Çakır missile from 150km at 7km altitude.

Huge step to boast akinci's capabilites.

How stealth are our cruise missiles?
SOM series, KGK and HGK bombs are stealthy.
Atmaca and CAKIR rely on low flight characteristics and manoeuvrability.
Please feel free to add more. Those are what I could think of.
Level of stealth of our SOM series is supposed to be very good. If memory serves it was designed with more emphasis on stealth.
HGK and KGK were derived from JDAM and JSOW. They are also designed with stealthy characteristics.

I think the main point of Cakir is its swarm profile with multiple missiles pulling 12g in a coordinated manner in their terminal phase to overwhelm the ship's defence.

Thank you. I low-key want Atmaca-2 and Çakır-2 to be stealthy like NSM.
IMO, an ideal cruise missile would be a stealthy YJ-18.
When it comes to cruise missiles, stealth is the future.

There is something actually better than YJ-18, YJ-12 or Brahmos.

The Japanese ASM-3A.

It has 400km range along with 3.5 Mach speed.
The most manuaverable and stealthy supersonic cruise missile. Also, for now it is only AShM that has operational AESA seeker.

I like to call it a fat meteor.🙃

Hopefully, Tubitak would be able to come up with something like that.

Oh they will, don't you worry. (unless... eh, nevermind.)

But the thing about YJ-18 is that it goes subsonic until it goes terminal, then it goes supersonic.

Best of both worlds.
