Any radar specs?
Obviously no, but it's a pretty darn good and ambitious F-16-grade 1152 GaN TRM radar.
F-16 Özgür has already started launching and guiding Gökdogans, so it should be smooth sailing with Kizilelma.
While they both share the same radar, the Kizilelma's radar is coded MURAD-200A and is reported to have improved LPI, according to Aselsan.

I somewhat wonder how it all works out together. This combination of size, weight and power (while being canard delta of all things) is strange and fascinating, especially with truly rich sensor suit it gets.
It almost as if it's...combat/stand in counterpart to loiter/stand off akinci(with it's radar too) really. Granted, to degree it turned out this way for now(poor ai-322), but even then.
Ambitious/controversial and very unlike anything else in development. Anka-3 is honestly easier to grasp.
Hence why Baykar’s investing in the necessary groundwork to develop a 20,000 lbf-class engine in-house...
0.6 Mach cruise speed is the only thing that’s keeping it rubbish in BVR as a forward node against anything non-VLO. All that effort of integrating such advanced sensors onto this drone is wasted without a sufficiently powerful engine.
