Karaok is such a great candidate to put on a drone, either an octocopter heavy lift drone or something between Titra's Dumrul and Alpin. Unlike small quads or fpv drones it wouldn't have to go right on top of the tank to hit it and staying up to 2 km away would make it survive most encounters.
It's a 40 mm grenade (basically) with a seeker and a rocket motor, it is probably as cheap as anything with a seeker can be. Still hoping Roketsan will turn it into a C-UAS mini missile.
For the missile to carry its weight against gravity it has to generate lift using its small wings and its exhaust hot stream. The hot stream needs to have some downward push to generate lift hence needs some angle. Its wings can generate lift at between 0 to 15 degrees of angle also depending on its speed. But the more the angle the slower becomes the speed. So it needs to point upwards with an angle like a possible sweet spot of 12 degrees or so to maintain its level flight.

Fire and forget Cirit variant with same diameter?ROKETSAN Teases New Multi-Role Missile for SAHA EXPO 2026 | TURDEF
ROKETSAN shared a video for SAHA EXPO 2026, showing a new missile that is stated to be intended for use against asymmetric threats and low-altitude targets.
ROKETSAN is seemingly adding another multirole missile, my bets are on something highly compact or a fire-and-forget CİRİT
My guess is it’s a alternative to APKWS 2 which also has a iir seeker

Bomb or a missile?
I'm betting on turbojet or rocket powered MK bomb with glide and guidance kit, think of KGK with propulsion. Russia has been testing one, yanks have as well and Chinese can't be too far behind. Ukraine and Iran proved over and over again that cost efficiency is the name of the game if you cannot overwhelm your enemy within a week and MK bombs are dirt cheap to make when bombs/missiles/rockets are concerned and we have a pretty good stockpile and production capability already.
overall size is a bit small (judging by it suspension lugs)and it looks like it has a laser seeker which would limit its range. But it could be like Kuzgun TJ with an overall weight under 100 kg
It could be mate, I just assumed it is a sort of placeholder graphic rather than 1 to 1 copy of the munition.
