Beautiful design. With 2x900hp turboprops I think they are understating some of the specs.

Akinci will has AESA, does it mean it will lack on SAR?
Baykar updated infographic from 900hp to 550hp.
I really wonder the engine on that baby.
Also according to AA chart, Akıncı will be able to carry SOM. How? According to Wiki, SOM has a mass of 600kg. If we put a SOM under one wing, it will be very non-balanced. But if we put one under each wing, we will get 1200kg payload, AA chart claims that Akıncı will has 900kg outer payload capacity. I don't see any under-body weapon station.
It's said to carry the SOM-A variant, which is probably going to be much lighter (and with a reduced range too) for the UAV.
of course not, aesa have sar capabalities,,,
Nobody is talking about AESA radar on the Akinci.
You are absolutely right. Especially about the range. Aesa radar that can stay in the air for 24 hours will be very annoying for our neighbors. It is impossible to constantly lift f16. Akinci can have a mini Awacs for us.
