3 kuzgun-tj to the inner wing bomb stations and under the fuselage.
2 çakır and 2 kuzgun-ky to the bomb stations on the outer wing.
Total ammunition load 1050 kg.
This would be my preferred weapon configuration for the Aegean Sea.

useful weapon load capacity is 1100 kg. approximately.

The French admired the Bayraktar TB-2 concept. They want to copy our concept

They want to make a drone like TB2 that costs 5 million euros a piece. What is the current cost of TB2 ?

6 tb2 + 2 ground control stations + spare parts + 2 years maintenance = 36 million dollars.

generally; 1 heron = 4 tb2 (as Bayraktar explained)

It is impossible for the French to produce at low costs.

Should be ~$12 million for 3 UAV + 1 Ground station for export customers, including training and spares.
The real cost is totally unknown but the profit margin is known to be quite high.

Another calculation somewhere gave $11mn per plane with all the ammo and ancillaries to export customers. This is about a well earned price if the customer uses it productively.

There is an environment of inflation in the world. That's why I think the price of products should be increased. We can't stay where we are when everyone is selling everything more expensive.

There was a promotional video of Akinci, In the video Akinci was shown dropping 12x STM Alpagu block ii Kamikaze UAV's, it was even before Akinci first flight. But after all this time the status of STM Alpagu block i & ii are not clear. And haven't seen it in any test or promotional material of Akinci.

Can some esteemed member provide some info ?

It has a long way to go. Alpagu has not been in the inventory yet. Akinci will carry new blocks of Alpagu, probably equal to Switchblade 600. 3-4 years needed.

STM Alpagu block i & ii............I will try to quote Ismail Demir "He said that when they show it STM Alpagu as platform and also use with other platforms. That he and other Allies start asking Questions: like we saw what and how AI on this platform can DO. Is there more about what can do this platform"
Conclusion of this ally questions was that They were AFRAID from this platform and Ismail Demir "SAID that Turkiye decide to put on hold some of available options as AI for Alpagu and similar products". Since then I see that they EVEN STOP SHOWING Real Videos about Progress
