Probably an incomplete list, but Turkish Ucav users per IISS Military Balance 2024. @Zafer you got a competitor...

Bored of these million testflights. Drop some bombs already.

I think in the summer they will try to land it on TCG Anadolu or a setup.

Sh*t! Drone strikes are unethical.

Sh*t! Drone strikes are unethical.

Yeah because dropping a couple bombs from a 15 ton death machine is very ethnical...

That was my way of saying the first strike was awesome.

 

[Kaan Azman]

I kinda doubt it with the A and even B variant because of TWR constraints (B with afterburner at 6.5 tons reaches 0.7). But KIZILELMA-C with two turbofans rated at 44 kN with afterburner has a TWR of around 1.05 when weighing 8.5 tons which is near F-22 with full fuel and internal weapons.

Translation:

In this scenario, ANKA-4 with a twin engine and an ammunition carrying capacity of up to 4 tons is needed because TRG-230 is insufficient against large tonnage ships with its 70kg warhead and 150km+ range, but it is effective in penetration attacks, so TRG-500 is a longer range and more effective warhead.

It is a full-black coloring of a concept design for F/A-XX, not ANKA-4

F/A-XX mean 6th Generation Fighter ? But why with TF-10000 Engines ? It must have more stronger Engines than Kaan!

That photo isn't official mate, just some on the Internet made themselves.

Anka - 4 with canards would make less sense. Its more a fighter plane.

 

[Kaan Azman]

Like I said before, I expect ANKA-4 to share many components with KAAN and the flight performance for the most part. So that KAAN can have an air superiority wingman that can keep up.

Also, I gotta remind about a gossip of TUSAŞ considering F110 for an UAV platform. It is still an unconfirmed report but considering TUSAŞ wants a full-on air superiority UCAV as the next step, I wouldn't rule out F110 and the indigenous engine as the engine for ANKA-4. Pretty much for the reasons I stated above.
