Is this a new UCAV? It looks very similiar to Akinci but Akinci is already on that picture.

The first illustration may be a 3d model used twice in a slightly sloppy illustration. However, we can now say that it is now confirmed for the heavy-duty drone that will fly with the turboprop to be derived from the TS-1400, as you shared. As far as I can follow and feel, we will see many new concepts in 2025 and in a sense, there will be another strategic expansion in the scale of Turkish drone systems.

Could be, there was a talk about a bigger Akinci, in general this illustration looks like the Akinci with a changed wing.

It can be an illustration distortion but it could also represent the bigger Akinci

What is a bigger Akinci good for?

 

[Merzifonlu]

What is a bigger Akinci good for?

For AEWS drone. Of course, if Akıncı is equipped with P&W PT6 engines. Or if Akıncı is equipped with domestic engines converted from TS-1400.

What is a bigger Akinci good for?

It would be able carry heavier munitions, not just under its fuselage, and engage targets from farther away. Just as an example, UAV-230 has a range of 150+ km but a bigger Akıncı would be able to carry UAV-300 (if Roketsan makes one) and it is likely to have 200+ km range and a bigger warhead. Or it could launch SOM or SOM-J with 250+ km range.

I'm emphasising the range because farther away it can engage its targets, the safer it would be and it can be used more freely.

Which is important sure, but at those ranges the sensors you have will probably not be enough to find the targets you don't already know about.

What is a bigger Akinci good for?

Awacs with big ass radar on top (=global eye), refueling with +2 ton fuel, long range AA launcher with +200km range missiles.

It is ＼(^_^)／

It will be the backbone for our airdefence, surveillance and electronic warfare with several "Anadolu eye" flying at high altitude detecting non-stealth aircrafts such as transport or enemy awacs at 500-700km. These could then command our bomb-trucks (also based on the same larger Akinci) to launch for example sub-sonic cruise missiles with 1000km range or supersonic AA missiles +200km range.

Turkey is doing marvelous when it comes to planned development. The project management in our defence companies are worth gold in their weight.

With this speed of development, we will have death star in no time

How about carrying siper b1 missile on that kind radar carrier uav. Like a flying air defence battery. Like a first line stealth flying air defence batteries.

Also launching Siper B1 from a ucav who's flying in 20,000 feet and 200+ km/h speeds that increase the range of missile.

The Siper Product 2 will be better suited for a ultra long Range AA Missile, I would rather deploy them on F-16 Özgür II than on Akinci. I think using AA Missiles from Akinici will be usefull against enemy Drones & Cruise Missiles. Akinci have the Advantage of a long loitering Time.

There is reports that alsungur drone was downed in syria turkish border ? Any news if USA shoot ot down or YPG with US weapons !
A day after Mq 9 US drone was aslo shoot down !
Turkiye should work to eleminate those threats to our drome arsenal

I believe the US gave them the U.S.-made AN/TWQ-1 Avenger Missile System; they also have Russian systems now.

Shot down by Iranian weapons.

Why is it we keep losing aksungurs, and say not tb2, or anka? Or say not akinci?

big and slow target not flying at high enough altitude (to increase endurance?)
