That looks like Pi to me, my calculations show 1.26 k m² which is still big enough for a 2000 lb drop.

A = π • r²
r = 1 km² (radius of destruction, as estimated)
π ~3,142
A = 3,142 • 1 (km²)
A = 3,142 km² (destruction zone)
Still.

As it is, it quite literally cannot.

Idk, tell that to the ones in Roketsan. That's what I heard in IDEF day 2

As I said before; If there is a will there is a way.
P&W PT6A-60 engine develops 1050HP.
P&W PT6A-52 engine develops 850HP.
When used on below aircraft, the 850HP engine gives 1700kg useful load capacity.
When used on the same plane, the 1050HP engine gives a useful load capacity of up to 4200kg.

Beechcraft Super King aircraft.

Baykar is already using the 750HP version of this engine on Akinci. If Baykar can integrate the more powerful versions to Akinci and strengthen the wings’ inner pylons, anything is possible.
But these engines are about 1 million US dollars each. They cost half that amount to fully overhaul. So it is not cheap. But the return may be worth it.

Akinci-C already uses two 850HP engines and they plan to use TS-1400 for a bigger Akinci (recent CNN interview with Selcuk Bayraktar).

Power Plant - 2 x 450 hp / 2 x 750 hp / 2 x 850 hp Twin Turboprop

Bayraktar <br> AKINCI

With its unique fuselage and wing design Bayraktar Akinci platform is a strategic class platform which can carry various payloads. Bayraktar

Baykar’s site shows this as an engine option for Akinci.
Akinci A, uses 450HP (Ukranian engine).
B version uses PT6A-135 the 750HP engines.

C version using 850HP engines, has flown as you rightfully pointed out. But we don’t know if anyone has yet bought it.
This engine is classed as for medium in terms of weight of plane. The 750HP version is used for small planes in terms of their weight.
So their fuel consumptions and flight endurance can be quite different.

Potentially, the 850HP engine is at the limit of being able to accommodate 2 İHA-300ER missiles. But it can not be ruled out. It all depends on the airframe design of the Akinci.

But remember, fired at 30000 ft, IHA300-ER will have a range of 400km. Fired at 40000ft its range will extend to 500km.
With 850HP engines it may struggle to attain altitude. I remember Selçuk Bayraktar talking about using a 1000HP engines for the Akinci.

So,my question.
Lets say they pick the right engine,how will the weight shift work when one of the two IHA-300's is fired?
Does it automaticly compensate the weight loss(on the wings) or how does it work?
