Sadak 2T (110kg , 388kg fully loaded)
Sadak 4T (175kg , 731kg fully loaded)

Sadak 4T is carried under the belly of Akinci, as it can’t carry that load on wings.
Akinci has around 950kg payload capacity to carry externally. I doubt if it can manage 2 x Sadak 2T on wings as well.

As with different engines, Akinci has different payload capacities. But even with the 2 x PT6 engines giving 2 x 850HP power, it has a maximum of 1500kg payload capacity, 400kg of it being for internal. It has also be remembered that the wing structure can manage lower weight handling than it’s belly.
I checked the brochure right after I wrote the comment and you're right it would be really hard, if not outright impossible as I didn't think 1500 kg would also include internal load.

They give all these different weights to confuse us. 😂
In another document it says Tolun’s weight is 135kg.
But in IIR form it says it weighs 120kg.
So since this is a missile under development and progress, one can expect a weight variation of +/- few kg. (Fuel, explosives, seeker type and use of composites all contribute to final weight)
