PAF Reveals Bayraktar Akinci, TB-2, WL2 and Establishment of National ISR and Integrated Air Op Center in a Newly Released Video

Akinci is a beast and a proper HALE, it is design to carry NG Aselsan F16 AESA Radar, as per Turkish media it will also carry A2A missile inventory , It can carry SOM Cruise missile
2x 750 HP engines
8 Hard points
30 k operational Altitude
40 k service ceiling
25 Hrs endurance
It is expected that there will be 4 different engine configurations in AKINCI system.
  • PD222ST (240hp)
  • AI-450T (450hp)
  • PT6A-135A (750hp)
  • MS500 (950hp)
The variant that will have 2x750hp take-off power is AKINCI B. For some reasons, I don't think Pakistan will prefer this variant. I think 2x450hp and 2x950hp variants will be preferred.

Some variants will have a unique multi-role radar developed entirely for UAVs. Apart from the nose radar, it will also have a few different avionics/payloads that are not often seen in UAVs. Munition/missile group and basic avionics will be as follows:

WOW WOW WOW what a shock and procurements!

They need to get as many TB-2s as possible and help soldiers in Baluchistan to counter the frequent ambushes they have to endure.
The last 2 sets of militants killed in Balochistan were said to killed in drone strikes according to the BLA themselves. I don't trust what they say usually so would take with a grain of salt. But still if true would mean a significant shift.

I’m genuinely concerned about fratricide with PA operating the HQ-9 rather than the PAF, they don’t have the complete air picture. Or AD units will have the regularly exercise with PAF and integrate into a combined C-C

This genius was telling the world that PAF/PA ADS showdown that Indian missile, and it didn't crash even after DG ISPR told that it wasn't showdown.

Why do all these Twitter think tanks have cringey a$$ brown sahb call signs for themselves?

I mean if you sounded cool saying them that'd be ok. But they just sound like the Indian 7 eleven guy in Simpsons saying em lol.

How reliable is the YCL-8E claim?

Could the HQ-9B be a HQ-9C? Why choose an earlier system?

What is your take on Azm design and Akinci UCAV acquisition? (i think it was acquired to counter MQ 9 Reaper)

You don't counter a drone with drone. Actually, it is all about modernizing your force & enabling high capability of attack for an offense as well.

What's the weapon carrying profile like? How many AAM's, BVR, etc?

If it can carry an AESA (which it should) and 6 BVR's + 2 WVR's, this would make a great missile truck and loyal wingman

I think Sheikha is right about J20. I love TFX more. But it might not be chosen by PAF if engines are not sorted.

Also the design released in video rhymes with J20. But Sheikha needs to make it official by saying JS20 😋
