ASELSAN has probably broken a record in UAV equipment field with the most diverse arsenal of UAV EW systems. There are also unlisted ones which wouldn't fit in the infographic like AKINCI SOJ's other variant.

Does it have afterburner?
Can anyone highlight the main differences from this pictures with the previous prototype?
AKINCI-C with UAV-230, TV Seeker UAV-122, LGK-83, and BOZOK

Is the New KIZILELMA Prototype a Supersonic one? | TURDEF
KIZILELMA’s new prototype was spotted during Saudi officials’ visit to Baykar. Some changes hint that this prototype might be designed to fly supersonic.

Baykar has made a large-scale aerodynamic refinement (and a bonus of less RCS thanks to concealed actuators). I think the lift from fuselage will see an improve with the new form as well. Every inch of lift will be needed for STOBAR operation.

The maker of that ye-ye ass laser BTR in Greece is in shambles rn.
Jokes aside, in the Star Trek universe, such ablative coatings aren't invented until 2371. This is H U G E

Great!
I think there are some important questions to consider:
- How strong is this material as an airframe?
- How durable in certain weather conditions, altitudes, and air pressure?
- How mouldable and shapable is it compared to carbon fibre?
- How long does it take to produce this material and at what rate?
- How durable to storage conditions is it (just because it withstands extreme heat, doesn't mean it won't have weak points e.g. rot, fatigue, instability etc.)

Oh, mon Dieu! LOL
Jokes aside, IMO reporting this invention is a mistake. We are giving unnecessary ideas to others.

Lol, do you think nobody thought of something like that before? Or did they revealed the formula?

I belive such studies are vital at univeristy level whether it is applicable in real life or not and worth every lira we have spent ... we are an emotional nation therefore over enthusiasm in expressions can be unavoidable sometimes dont know.
....most importatnly such studies creates a science culture .... and steping stones for future projects and creates pool of potantial scientists for our future projects...

Yes, not every single research has useful output at the end of the day, but that's not the point, you gotta build a body of research, and you never know when something may end up being useful, if this isn't applicable for UAV, it may find an entirely other industrial use
Sales of baykars products to our army with unknown prices works like a state funds,but ended much better than the Altay case.

It has certain limitations to he practical though, we are speaking of a coating to be applied on aircrafts or small drones.
It has to have a low density - ✓
It has to be usable for thin-film applications NA
It has to demonstrate those capabilities below a certain thickness NA
It has to provide an insulation and not conduct the contained heat to the inner fuselage NA
I am excluding mechanical properties so far.

To add, the team that created the thing says they haven’t tested it against lasers yet and in everything they published, using it on drones is not mentioned. It’s a third party twitter channel claiming it could be used as a coating against lasers on drones. This might or might not be, but a highly heat resistant, cheap to build in bulk and light material have much bigger use cases in multiple fields. Drone self defence is not even at top ten. Hope more info comes out.
