I have question regarding the Akinci. WHen having payload under the fuselage, wouldn't it obstruct the forward view of the flir? I am not sure forward view is important or not on UAV.

Why to obstruct ? Akinci is in sky and most of use of flir is toward the land so there is no obstruct unless akinci use its flir to film another plane just in front of him

Well for the situational awareness for such scenario below. Yes it will have radar but still maybe some visuals are also better to have.

We will see because I asked this directly to the Baykar don't be surprised if TB3 starts take-off and landing trials on LHD next year. They are also training their AI with those advanced simulations. Their plan is also to conduct the first trials with KE on TCG Anadolu in 2025.

Selçuk Bayraktar on Habertürk: TB3 trials on TCG Anadolu will start in 2024.
Again, Nope. At best we will see a take off in 2024, no landing. Only if Baykar proves the concept at the land.

For your information; Baykar does not govern trials on Anadolu, Navy does.

Also; double checked, they have not simulated the vessel motion as of May, 2023.

We have a more important problem than CATS Plus. When are these notorius AESA radar tests going to end? They don't need to share the test images, let them share the news "Domestic AESA radar entered the inventory in Akıncı", that is more than enough.
