does anyone know if the b and c version can carry more munitions than the a version of akinci with 1.5 tons because of the more powerful engines or is it just overall a performance increase?

Kizilelma flight test with tolun

Can we please have the landing gear retracted and use the internal weapon bays?

You want the season's final skipping the intermediate episodes, not happening.

Kizilelma flight test with tolun

It looks like its internal bays are designed only for air-to-air missiles. There will likely be no more than four of them. The rest of the weapons are mounted only on the pylons.
The turns aren't very steep yet, with a bank angle of just under 45 degrees. And the speed with the landing gear down isn't very high.
Theoretically, a test flight with the landing gear retracted should be attempted first. Or am I missing something?

They did fly with the landing gear retracted on PT1 and PT2. Ever since they got the new after-burner engine, the gear has not been retracted

With that engine,not possible.

well baykar showcased som j in internal weaponsbay so thats that. Also maybe Gökbora could fit 6 because of the folding fins

There’s actually an overlooked detail — the new ÇAKIR missile features foldable wings, which likely means it was designed for KIZILELMA’s internal weapon bay. We might even see a test video of this very soon.

Not really for Kizilelma but canister

Aslında Kızılelma için değil ama teneke kutu için

Maybe it will be fired with boosters for longer range?

It’s possible but then i think they would carry it outside because the range would be more than 200km

“Good News for the Reels [*gears-up guys]

— KIZILELMA closed [*retracted] its landing gears during its latest test flight.”

Laugh it up all you want or kill me if you want. I’m one of those gears-up folks

Once it gets a proper engine, (TF10K) it will be a great drone.

The Sadak 4T launcher weighs 175 kg, and the TOLUN munition is 150 kg. So in the latest test, KIZILELMA flew with:

2x Sadak 4T = 350 kg
2x TOLUN = 300 kg
Total = 650 kg of payload.

This means it could potentially carry 8x TOLUN and 2x Sadak 4T launchers, reaching a total payload of *1,470 kg* — an impressive strike capability.

Eh, we can do that with an Akıncı, the thing that truly matters is how much it can carry in its internal bays (and how many missiles of course). Using KE or Anka-3 to delivery guided bombs would be an utter waste.

''Using KE or Anka-3 to delivery guided bombs would be an utter waste.'' ?? guess it depends on the timing, for instance in the opeaning phase of a conflict they MAY play a pivotal role as the spearheaded via using their internal bays and in later stages they can still be a viable option even when they carry weapons externaly, since they are the FASTEST drones we have. Further, as we all know spead as a parameter has multiple benefits.

Maybe a win-win situation.
