Not possible to tell as it is highly dependent on the radar and target. However, you can calculate the line of sight to be about 40km.

"Quadcopters will trail behind": American kamikaze drone Hellhound S3 makes its first flight
Drone- The Hellhound S3 kamikaze, developed by the American company Cummings Aerospace, has successfully completed its first test flight. The innovation in its creation was 3D printing of the turboprop engine, which the UAV is equipped with.
As stated in the publication Defence Industry Europe, when attached to US infantry brigade combat teams, the drone will give them the ability to carry out precision strikes over long distances, which was previously the responsibility of the brigade level of command. With a maximum speed of over 610 km/h, UAV designed to quickly engage time-sensitive targets such as Tanks and armored vehicles.
"While the quadcopters are trailing behind, the Hellhound will already be over the target, allowing it to strike faster, penetrate deeper into the battlefield, and decisively engage fast-moving targets"
- said the developer.
The complex, which includes a drone, a launcher and a control unit, is portable, weighing 11,3 kg, and can be deployed by one soldier. Due to its modular design, payloads such as warheads, weapons EW or surveillance sensors, can be replaced in less than 5 minutes without the use of tools.
While the price is not disclosed, loitering munitions are said to often be significantly cheaper than traditional strike platforms.

What does this have anything to do with Turkish UAV programs?
