Can't stop, won't stop.

This footage also all but confirms what I've been thinking. Kızılelma can't run Murad and Karat at the same time, nose section is too small to fit both. Wonder if same applies to Murad-Toygun.
Let one fly with karat and other with murad+toygun.. this is why they have wingman right 😀

They tested wingman flight the other day. One can fly with Karat other 3 can fly Murad + Toygun. Usual formation of 4 can accommodate these kind of payloads. Many other kind of payloads is Also possible. Baykar's engineers imagination is our limit.

from 1:01 they showed the IRST, and what can we understand from that image?
There is a "thing" over there. Karat can see and track it, determine the elevation angle and direction (azimuth) of the "thing", precisely. Some blurred numbers at that screen should include it.

Also, before and after the 1:01, we see some little manuevers. I am not sure they show these manuevres because of this, but Karat can determine the distance from the thing by slightly changes its course or moves to observe it from different angles. The computer "estimates" the distance by performing trigonometric calculations based on the angular rate of change of the thing. Not precisely this time, but approximately, even statistically (I just oversimplified, it is not that simple of course, there are some additional variables about this process) . So there should be some information about it in blurred areas also.

These are my points. We have people here who have much more knowledge about it. If they share their views, I could sure use it, too.

Was it PT4 that flew with Karat? we haven't seen PT4 for a while... We saw PT3 and PT5 fly the other day, so I assume it can't be those two PTs

First Kızılelma is expected to be delivered to TSK inventory in first quarter 2026
Seems like we can expect all remaining tests to be completed in a couple of months
