That's what Baykar claims, remember that given cruise speed for Kızılelma with AI-25TLT is 0.6
Did they mentioned, super cruise specifically?

It says speed not cruise speed.

Super cruise is going over mach 1 without using afterburners. Meaning without afterburners you need to design your engine for subsonic and transonic speeds, no easy task and basically definition of 5th gen engines if you throw in supersonic as well.

Kızılelma have lots of potential but it's not something that is comparable with TF-X in anyway.

It is related to the engine's dry thrust and has nothing to do with 5th gen. Typhoon, Gripen, and Rafale can do it, and none use the 5th gen engine.

That's not how it happens.

+it is cruise speed because 0.6 Mach given for AI-25TLT is cruise speed

There is “cruising speed” and “supercruise”.

Former is the steady speed of an aircraft at most fuel efficient mode. (Apparently for KE this is going to be 0.6 Mach)

Latter one is the capability of an aircraft to keep and sustain a speed above the speed of sound for extended period without using afterburners.
US defines supercruise as sustained flight at more than 1.5Mach without afterburners. There are only a handful of planes like F22, EF2000 and possibly SU57 that can manage that.

There are some resources claiming rafale can reach mach 1.4 with 6 missiles one drop tank. However, i do not think thats possible with full internal tank and one drop tank but i do not think that it is possible especially when drop tank comes into play.
Drag becomes a huge factor in high speeds thats why internal weapons bay matters for supercruise.

Well typhoon, can super cruise with two drop tank and air to air load according to airbus.
so, i think it is possible.
