[Balamir]

Which munitions has been integrated so far in the delivered UAVs? We've seen him fly with the MAM-L and NEB and shoot the MAM-T. KGK, MAM-C, SOM are not there yet. AESA radar and AAM are unfinished projects. It's obvious that it was delivered early. Could it be to shoot at least MAM-T and NEB from higher altitude?

Akinci has three versions of power.
2 x 750 HP
2 x 450 HP
2 x 170 HP
Of these three, do we know which ones are being delivered?
What the breakdown of engine is of the 6 planes?

I thought it was 2x 170 and 2 x 450 are being delivered and we still have to wait for next year for 750 as I don't think the asea integration happened yet.

The probability that this visitor is among the 10 countries that have signed an export agreement..

I hope Nigeria as a customer.

Akinci looks like a real bomber drone in the air.

I checked to see "Hey is it as big as a WWII bomber?" and as it turns out; it's pretty close.
Wingspan of a He 111 H-16 is 22.6 meters

Akıncı: 20

Imagine if a B52 flew this low.

People would run for their lives (as they should lol)

 

[Combat-Master]

Total of Six.

Four outside and two inside.

Six!

Three are prototypes, are they being delivered as well?

Maybe not, I thought all six planned for this year will be delivered.
RTE signed two outside and one inside. Could be only three.

Mr Ismail DEMIR: After MIUS are developed, we will have bigger surprises.

Unmanned Ballistic Missile

This much publicity and still less payload capacity than Reaper.

And I really don't understand this obsession with carrying cruise missiles.

Are we trying to replace F4 Phantoms with Akıncı here?

 

[Lool]

Unmanned Ballistic Missile

Nah
I want a strategic intercontinental stealth bomber drone
That is the way to go
Just imagine Turkey having 100s of that
Oh boy
Come on Baykar, Make my dream come true!!!

Frankly Reaper costs that high because of US military industrial complex and all the politics involved with that.
If we produced that here, it would cost a fraction of that number. It's not that Akıncı is that much more efficient.

That being said BMC made it, it would take 10 years and it would eventually be cancelled so congratulations to Baykar for that

Also congratulations to MotorSICH

The idea is in the cost
It is all about the cost
What do you think made TB2 famous? Their rockets, or bombs? USA drones can carry them as well, you know! It is just that Baykar TB2 costs so little both in terms of actual purchasing price and operational costs that it made hunting 100 million dollar tanks a fqing joke
The same with Akinci, cheap and can do way more for longer durations and is more automated so it will be easier to operate. Not to mention it will carry air to air missiles; thus, along with an AESEA radar, these Akincis may hunt 50-70 million dollar jets of 3rd or 4th gen max like a cat preying on mice every now and then

We already produce here..named Akinci not Reaper

I don't want to start a long discussion but for the AKINCI (or reaper for that matter) to "hunt" a modern fighter jet is impossible.
If you want to ask why, you can reach me on DMs

I'm saying that it's not that Akıncı's design is more efficient, it's just that US military industrial complex is inefficient.

You can see how ridiculously cheap Chinese wing loong UAVs are, that we shot down in Libya.

Moving forward, they will be our main competition. And it will be tough to make it cheaper than the chinese.
