When we speak about Bomber Drones, something like this is planned, but what I read from Charateristics it will not comparable to a strategic Bomber.

I have no idea about the design and shape of the TAI UCAV but now that the genie is out of the bottle I know that
-It is a big and heavy UCAV expect 5-6 tonnes or higher.
-It will have a turbofan engine
-Its mission endurance will be 8 hours.
-It will carry a big amount of payload. More than Akıncı.
-A scaled model will be/has already been produced. I expect the first flight of the scaled model to be done in a year.
- The first flight of the full-sized UCAV will be done in 2025.
-It will be made public at some point like other TAI projects. I think it will be publicly announced in 2023 at the latest(IMHO it will be announced sooner).
-It will be able to fly at supersonic speeds(I expect max speed to be around 1.2 mach maybe up to 1.4) but mostly execute missions at high subsonic speeds.
-It will have A-A capability but I don't know the details of its A-A capability(BVR, WVR, self-protection)
-It will be expensive but it will still be much cheaper than a manned fighter.

This is Göksungur UCAV. At the end of the year, the scale version will take off for tests. I confirmed the design in the picture to my friend in TUSAŞ. https://www.star.com.tr/yerel-haberler/universitelere-milli-savas-ucagi-gorevi-3612968/ By the way, the picture dates back 2 years You are...
