No it's not. It is high subsonic at altitude at best. However its engine type lends itself to being supersonic.
The Talarion is developed with aim of 340 kn maximum speed. Similar designs with that type of propulsion also hover around that speed.

I expect Goksungur to have a slightly different design to what we are used to see from TAI and the most recognizable MALE/HALE UAVs.

One expects a swept wing to go supersonic. This is to avoid the cone of sonic boom at wingtips. But the engines can support supersonic flight given that the design allows it.

Advanced UAV Project is Goksungur? or Goksungur is a different project?

This was one of the early images TUSAS released some yearss back. This is closest official image that loosely matches what Goksungur might be..

-supersonic

Are you confident that this is not just some fan art? There seems to be a lot of design inefficiencies/redundancies.

GÖKSUNGUR will fly at a speed of approximately 1250 km/h. This UAV will fly at 420 km/h. There is a situation in this UAV just like in AKINCI. platfrom TAI's ammunition ROKETSAN's engine of the UKRAINE company.There is a situation in this UAV just like in AKINCI. platfrom TAI's ammunition ROKETSAN's engine of the UKRAINE company. This UAV is in the development phase, but I don't think we will wait any longer for its launch.

^Isnt Aksungur filling that role ?
The Advanced UAV can carry almost as twise as the useful load of Aksungur. It is reported to be able to carry 1.400kg of payload, have a cruise altitude of ~40.000ft and ~24 hours endurance. Also will have more hard points for different types of loads. On the picture below we see Antonov's vision and we can clearly see Cirit and SOM. I am not sure if the figure about the payload is external+internal payload or only external. If we assume that the figures are pointing at external payload with it's 9 hard points it could probably be able to carry something like 1xSOM-J, 2xTEBER-81, 4xCIRIT, 4xUMTAS/L-UMTAS.

Let's dream little bit.

The Turkish First supersonic stealth drone must be in this shape:
Like dart...

Well the first subsonic stealth bomber must be in that way:
