That's only the power the engine provides, TB3 probably also has a battery for peak power, or she can.With 9 kW total energy, it's likely more a SAR radar

Too many assumptions, imagine the fear factor the jet pilot will be engulfed in, a fearless flying robot appearing out of nowhere can shoot him down any moment.Ok, let's assume that the TB3 has located a Rafaele, a Eurofighter or an F-16 and launched the BVR missile.
The missile has missed the target, i.e. the enemy has used decoy maneuvers including decoys and prevented the launch.
Now the enemy fires his missile and now find the weak point in your concept.
If the drone doesn't hit the target with the first missile, then it's gone.
Apart from that, where does it say that TB3 is the first to locate the fighter aircraft?
If the enemy has the drone in the radar, the drone is also gone.
To strike fear into pilot is only possible with fighter UCAVs like KIZILELMA with high situational awareness and advanced sensor fusion(not in this decade imho). That is if you consider them as a standalone platform. If your solution is network-centric then it doesn't matter if it's TB3 or any other random node on the network that carrying the AA missiles. It could be a drone, a helicopter, a ship and whatnot. It just needs to be at the right place.Too many assumptions, imagine the fear factor the jet pilot will be engulfed in, a fearless flying robot appearing out of nowhere can shoot him down any moment.

Because some people love bad mouthing almost anything that is being done and this is just one more way of doing that, quite disingenuously if I might add. Some hate Baykar, others hate the government (two types are almost a whole circle in a Venn diagram) and few others, I bet, are just cosplaying as Turkish people interested in defence industry and military.The Sungur integration is meant for other targets, why modern fighter jets are became a fixated object i don't understand...
TB3s with 2 Bozdoğan can shoot down a few cruise missiles at least I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The engine of those missiles runs for a few seconds then it goes to the target with its inertia. Because of this, a faster launching platform means more range, also altitudes of the launching platform and target affect the range significantly. Because of those issues, a drone that flies at 5000 meters at 250 km/h speed has no chance against a fighter flying at 12000 meters at 1250 km/h speed.You didn't even know that TB3 is already meant to be equipped with an AESA radar before you assert your argument.
You need small high bypass turbofan engines for this. I think TR Motor will make them at some point.We just need the new concept of subsonic, jet powered, maneuver UAV for the above mentioned missions as well as CAS!
Good to know that i am not alone

Actually I made LEVENT yesterday, certainly should do itAkdoğan, maybe air launched Levent...
They were showing twin streamlined Sungur ATAS earlier (simply streamlining and integrating the available launcher mounted to Yalman) and now made it down to 1 with a blunt pylon integration and no streamlined cover, i wonder why.I doubt that a 140kg Bozdogan missile can be carried on the wing of TB-3.
There are plans for the Sungur missile but I have not seen any plans for Bozdogan. Is it a wishful thinking?
