GDI Commentary || The development of MURAD, Turkiye’s indigenous AESA radar by ASELSAN, holds strategic significance for the Pakistan Air Force (PAF), particularly in relation to its operation of the Bayraktar Akıncı UAV. Given PAF’s expanding interest in high-end unmanned platforms and next-generation aerial capabilities, the integration of MURAD into Akıncı could enhance the UAV’s situational awareness, electronic warfare capabilities, and target engagement range. 🇵🇰🇹🇷 Moreover, Baykar’s plans to integrate long-range air-to-air missiles on Akıncı align with PAF’s broader objective of bolstering its UAV fleet with multi-role capabilities. This development could transform Akıncı into a potent asset capable of countering aerial threats, further complementing PAF’s evolving doctrine of network-centric warfare.
