Maybe it will be fired with boosters for longer range?

It’s possible but then i think they would carry it outside because the range would be more than 200km

Once it gets a proper engine, (TF10K) it will be a great drone.

The Sadak 4T launcher weighs 175 kg, and the TOLUN munition is 150 kg. So in the latest test, KIZILELMA flew with:
“Good News for the Reels [*gears-up guys]
— KIZILELMA closed [*retracted] its landing gears during its latest test flight.”
Laugh it up all you want or kill me if you want. I’m one of those gears-up folks
2x Sadak 4T = 350 kg
2x TOLUN = 300 kg
Total = 650 kg of payload.
This means it could potentially carry 8x TOLUN and 2x Sadak 4T launchers, reaching a total payload of *1,470 kg* — an impressive strike capability.

Eh, we can do that with an Akıncı, the thing that truly matters is how much it can carry in its internal bays (and how many missiles of course). Using KE or Anka-3 to delivery guided bombs would be an utter waste.The Sadak 4T launcher weighs 175 kg, and the TOLUN munition is 150 kg. So in the latest test, KIZILELMA flew with:

''Using KE or Anka-3 to delivery guided bombs would be an utter waste.'' ?? guess it depends on the timing, for instance in the opeaning phase of a conflict they MAY play a pivotal role as the spearheaded via using their internal bays and in later stages they can still be a viable option even when they carry weapons externaly, since they are the FASTEST drones we have. Further, as we all know spead as a parameter has multiple benefits.

Sometimes you have to do a strike urgently, so you don't have enough time before the operation for much ELINT or to weaken enemy AD. So you have to open a window for the strike package, which often is only some minutes long. Speed plays a big role in combat.

Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan: The U.S. has requested Baykar to open a production facility in the U.S. and benefit from this technology.

I hope that Bayraktar doesn't accept any sort of co operation.
Baykar should refuse such an offer IMO
First of all, companies like Lockheed Martin and Boeing would absolutely crush Baykar if they felt that there is a threat to their monopoly on American weapons market. They wont give the privilige of selling a drone for 600 million dollars for Baykar to sell it for 20 million dollars
Ps: by "crush" I mean kidnappings, threats, and assasinations etc....
When it comes to money, never underestimate just how far and inhumane those zionists can be

USA is shifting its focus on cheap and plentyful drones, since cheap and plentyful drons seems to be more effective in their war games compared to less numerous high tec stealthy drones especially in Pacific against China. Not just Navy but US Air force have similar conclusions. They want to achieve mass production . Boeing or LM are not budget friendly and they are looking for alternatives for instance General Atomics with a current production capacity of 180 drones annually and in 2024 General Atomics stated that they can increase their production capacity to 1 drone per day or Anduril. Further, US Airfoce offically stated that they envisioned a need for at least 1000 and possibly up to 2000 drones. (peace time figures)
Within this Framework we can Understand why US shows interest in BAYKAR as well.

And I just cant see how on earth will LM and Boeing keep their silence when they can force the US govt to buy their expensive drones by crushing Baykar one way or the other
Baykar will be TikTok 2.0; the deep state/zionists owning LM and Boeing will find excuses such as money going to Turkey/Turkish govt/Radical Ottomans etc... to convince the US into forcing Baykar into selling its US factories to US businessmen.
In other words, such a venture by Baykar will eventually turn out to be ugly and Baykar should honestly refrain from such an endeavour

It was seen in the test video that KIZILELMA was flying at 0.6 Mach speed

Kizilelma flight test with Teber 82

Teber82, if not carried in the inside weapon bays, the KE can not be used effectively against say South Cypriot positions. Those Teber82s on the outer pylons will allow the plane to be seen by AD radars and Barak8 missiles will bring it down.
KE is essentially a stealthy UCAV. If it carries bombs under its belly in the open, its stealth will greatly be compromised and can fall prey to modern AD systems.
These flight tests are probably needed to be performed. But in real life what separates KE and Anka-3 from other UCAVs is their stealthy designs. To take advantage of that we need to make sure that they carry most of the munitions inside their inner weapon bays.
