Turkish UAV/UCAV Projects

250 km against 1m2 of RCS ? or 5 m2 of RCS ?

F-35's AN/APG-81 AESA Radar : 160+ km against 1m2 and 240+ km against 5m2

Boeing E-7T AEWC can detect F-16V and RAFALE from 350 km
but KAAN can not detect from 350 km away

KAAN will able to decet the RAFALE and F-16V from 175-200 km away
 
Whoever this Erkan Yazıcı is, he's manipulating things and doing so with malicious intent. He starts by talking about the ineptitude and lack of foresight of a former admiral, but then goes on to accuse the former admiral of cowardice!

In military tradition, stupidity is a crime that doesn't warrant dishonorable execution by firing squad, but cowards are unforgivable! One should ask Erkan Yazıcı, from which war have these former and foolish admirals fled?

By the way, this former admiral is really talking nonsense. Lack of foresight and wisdom doesn't warrant dishonorable execution by firing squad, but it does warrant dismissal from military service through forced retirement.
 
Not all of the Kızılelma's useful payloads need to be carried within its structure. Considering the affordability and speed of unmanned system production, they can perform many tasks in a distributed structure.

For example, a Kızılelma 1 can serve as an observation unit by carrying only radar, EOTS, and Karat. Kızılelma 2 and 3 can act as mules by carrying only air-to-air missiles. Kızılelma 5 - 6 can carry air-to-ground munitions.

Additionally, it can support a platform for SEAD/DEAD missions. This way, the magnitude of material loss that would occur in the event of a single platform's loss is also prevented.

According to Selcuk Bayraktar in a TV program, he can produce 20 (twenty) KEs for the lifetime cost of a single F16! Just imagine, you're at the receiving end of a flotilla of stealthy KEs roaming in your sky with all sorts of payloads - A2A, A2G, EW/EA etc. - in a distributed fashion! All of your strategic assets (including fighter jets) are at the risk of pinpointed attacks while your enemy is sending just "drones"........

*During the last Indo-Pak aerial engagement, each side sent drones into the other side's airspace. Next time, if India sends Harrop then Pakistan might send KEs.

A single KE can't carry all three sensors. (Radar, EOTS and IRST) You would need two KE for full spectrum coverage.
