Yes, this is correct. Maximum diving speed, average cruise speed, and loitering speed are different though. When loitering it can reduce/throttle down its speed considerably.With 7-8 hours of flight endurance and 200 + km of cruise speed (like most of its equivalents), the maximum range of kargı is much more (1400-1600 km) as @TheInsider underlined. With satcom and datalink ability, If you prefer to plan 3 hours of loitering, which is a quite good duration the effective range is somewhere between 800 - 1000 km.
Or the EHTES test center!This is a big news and in my opinion it shouldn't be shared . but this raise two questions :
1- Is the enemy a training enemy or the Russian AD systems in Syria or maybe Ukraine ? is it possible that they did this on Greek AD radars ?
2- Is it Tb-2 with the mini EW pod ?
Either, someone will see the wheeled 40x40, 60x60 iron profiles under the Red Apple plane in this picture. They say these are for the market stall, this plane will not fly.
If the TSK Command likes the characteristics of the Red Apple, maybe we will stop buying the F 16, what do you think?The Turkish Minister of Defense and the Chief of Staff of the Turkish Army inspect the Turkish-made "Kizil Alma" jet warplane, at the headquarters of the manufacturer, "Baykar".

Selçuk Bayraktar: Turkish armed forces buy the systems they will use at 1/5 the price of equivalent systems in the world. In fact, it is acquiring some systems that you cannot buy even if you have money.Baykar CTO Mr. Selcuk is giving an interview.

I'm sure I've heard he talk about an aritmetic like 1/5, using Israeli systems as an example.Selçuk Bayraktar: "Turkey buys SİHAs at 1/3 the price compared to other countries." So the Turkish armed forces buy the drones at almost the cost of the price of the production, or did I misunderstand the tweet?
Satellite in question seem to be dual use communication and positioning satellites. I think they will need atomic clocks for that. Tübitak are making some.Selcuk Bayraktar: TB-2 is a much more cost-effective system, which is why mostly these systems are used. For example, Aksungur is a more qualified system than TB-2. Likewise, Akinci is a much more advanced system. Around 150 TB-2s are in use by the Turkish Armed Forces. 12 Akinci have been delivered, but the total number will be much smaller compared to the TB-2. Also there is a large number of Anka.
