Yes. Şimsek is orginally a target drone. However, now şimsek turn a decoy&kamikaze drone!Simsek?

Wasn't the MS500 Turboprop's maximum takeoff power around 1000 hp?Akinci with 1500HP engines, this is model B. C model will have have PD220 engine and that is 440HP engine. C version will be good for recon missions. This model will have very long range and endurance because of the lower feul usage.

As far as I know, there would be 3 engine alternatives, an AI-450C series turboprop engine, an MS500 derivative turboprop engine and a TEI PD2xx ST turbodiesel.
edit: the annotation from Haluk Bayraktar:
"We have completed the export contract with 2 countries for Bayraktar AKINCI UCAV!
After AKINCI B with 2x750=1500 HP, which successfully completed its first flight today, AKINCI C with 2x950=1900 HP will soon be in the skies."
edit2:
I forgot the PT6. This is Miguyan's opinion. So, there is no problem in the supply of engines from Canada for now. I think this might be the export version.
Looks like there will be 4 engine options
PD222ST (240hp)
AI-450T (450hp)
PT6A-135A (750hp)
MS500 (950hp)
Yes, no one expected Putin to be this crazy.Are there any alternatives to Ukrainian engines in case the Russian Ukrainian war ends up with Ukraine occupied? Russians are really close to the city of Zaporizhzhia, which is where all the Ukrainian engines are produced. If the infrastructure to make the engines is destroyed or taken over by Russia, it would jeopardize drone production. for the turbofan drone Bayraktar MIUS especially.
And Buying from Europe or the US/Canada there is the issue of cutting off of supplies for whatever reason. I know Ukrainian engines were chosen exactly for this reason, but I don't think anyone predicted the Russian Ukrainian war.
I think the optimum point could be 2 x 1000hp engine pairs. Maximum take-off power alone could not be a most important criterion for an aircraft that will fly at +30K altitude / +24H during the average mission. In my opinion, the most important requirements in the AKINCI program are, still the optimum fuel consumption-altitude-airtime balance. With the MS-500, a MTOW increase of around 15%-20% can be achieved, this increase will allow AKINCI to carry multiple heavy munitions such penetration bombs or cruise missiles.So they managed yo aquire engines from Motor Sich. That MS500 engine is a beast. I hope they turn TS1400 in a turboprop engine so we have 2800 hp engine.
If a solution is wanted in a short time, there is only one solution: To repair the relations between the USA and Turkey. It is impossible as long as Tayyip Erdogan is in power.
But, for only prototypes. As far as I understand, TF-6000 will be used in mass production MIUSs. Very good, I am very happy. A very critical time will thus not be lost.Engines of MIUS was al ready in inventory.
