And the HIK radar carrier plane would probably be Akıncı which is the highest powered unmanned plane available.

I tought we where developping a UAV specific for landing and taking off our carrier?

Turkey’s TCG Anadolu to allow drones to land, takeoff in global 1st​

The Bayraktar TB3 UCAV, which is currently under development at the Baykar facilities, is a variant of the Bayraktar TB2 and is planned for the flagship-to-be vessel, according to open sources. Currently, there is limited official information on the design or the abilities of the Bayraktar TB3, while open sources suggest that it might be a medium-altitude long-endurance (MALE) UAV, ranking between the Bayraktar TB2 and Baykar’s cutting-edge combat drone Akıncı.


According to the statements of Baykar's chief technology officer (CTO), Selçuk Bayraktar, the combat drones, including the Akıncı and Bayraktar TB3, will be powered by domestic engines manufactured by Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) subsidiary TUSAŞ Engine Industries (TEI).

-------------------------------------

I hope TAI will be able to speed up the RiHA (Rotary-wing UAV) soon to deploy on the Anadolu too.

TUSAS will soon announce the flight of Göksungur supersonic UCAV. An engineer friend at TUSAŞ implied it.

Like how soon? In a month or within several months?

Previously, TUSAŞ said it would surprise you. Now he's posted this picture. He said maybe tomorrow, maybe closer than tomorrow.

We will not forgive if you if we don't see something like this...

X-47B is very large and subsonic.
Previous mentions of Göksungur included a small high speed target drone.

Logically it should be like Şimşek target drone that can be done in a short development time (1-2 years).
Something like X-47B is not realistic, should take years to develop.
Something in between could be in design phase but I don't expect it to be supersonic.

Of course I'm guessing and I hope I'm wrong and also I hope we don't see a launch like electric unmanned T-629.

There was a new concept demonstration there. Now they're talking about UCAV taking off.

I just talked to him again. He said the announcement would be made by the end of 2021.

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

Delaying of one year. Why?

Göksungur, albeit Turkey's first supersonic aircraft, it's still just a target drone.

we can not mimic high subsonic anti ship missiles with the şimşek target drone,we should improve it to have more than 400 knts.We can add another TJ 90 on it,with minimal structural changes,as ı realised in a british firm who make target drones goes same way
