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.

Pretty sure I've seen this footage somewhere else before and it didn't belong to a Harpy loitering munition

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.
For those who think that Turkish drones (or any other platform made in any other country) are bad because they can be hit, I can't find a word to describe their stupidness. I strongly advise them to concentrate on leisure activities that require less intelligence for the rest of their lives.
By the way the number of killed tb2s in Libya are really not reliable. In each war number of casualities are not more than childish official lies, but Libya was a true unique case. The level of lying was unbelievable for both sides.

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.
Isn't there another Kızılelma plane with landing gear for them to take a photo with.
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".

According to Aselsan those RAM materials provide a 1000 times decrease in RCS on the applied surface.

AKINCI can travel 7,500 km.
The range of KIZILELMA is around 1,000 miles. Around 1,800 km.
KIZILELMA will be able to fight against warplanes.
We also plan to make a much faster, supersonic variant.

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.
In response to a question about the cost of KE: When the integration of the systems that will bring the KE to the level of air supremacy against fifth generation jets is completed, the project will have a development cost exceeding billions of dollars. The project is being carried out with 20 years of company experience and Baykar's own resources.

In response to the question about tactical blocks: The project was blocked for 4-5 years. In 2009, they tried to arrest Haluk Bayraktar during a flight demo. The project dragged on for 3-4 years. In 2012, the project was revived again and TB-2 developed. (baykar was the target of fierce criticism in defense circles when it claimed that they were the first domestic armed UAV manufacturer)
A program hosted by Candaş naturally started to progress with shitty questions. Like, why Aselsan resources are being transferred to Baykar, or I would have founded a bigger company if the state favors provided to Baykar were provided to me, etc... Instead of 'goygoy', there is no journalist around who can ask Selçuk Bayraktar, the questions we are curious about, properly.

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?

I'm sure I've heard he talk about an aritmetic like 1/5, using Israeli systems as an example.
