Kemankes is a mini Cruise missile.

It's a loitering munition Baykar calls a "mini cruise missile" for pr, it is no different than others of its kind. But it still isn't an a2a munition so it wouldn't make sense.

I think it is both. Can be used as a cruise missile on a pre-defined target or can be sent into a theater to look for targets. Doesn't have to be either or.

Kemankes is a mini Cruise missile. İt would be too expensive to use it as a drone Hunter.

Andruil's Anvil is also a cruise missile and It is a reusable SAM with vertical take off and landing. Unit cost of Kemankeş is likely a fraction SOM or Anvil. Probably less than 200k$. And Compare that to our SAM missiles, it is going to be a lot cheaper. Hisar missiles aren't cheap. And According to Iranian manufacturer leaked documents, Shaheds cost around 290k$. So Kemankeş can be cost effective solution to these kind of drones.

I would go with improving Mete for air target so a small drone can carry 2 of them, a tb2 can carry maybe 8 of them add a small radar as Poland already did, then it would be a cheap alternative. There was news about integrating Sungur on TB2 but don't know what happened.

something like cat paw we can call it minnak

Btw if a drone can carry at least 4 minnaks, it will create a serious force multiplier in the battle field.

Repkon has already shown a drone that can carry 4 Mete (or was it just a rocket that had the same diameter?), and I think some other company had shown one that could carry 2? I really like the idea of sending grenades towards the enemy from a 1+ km away with pinpoint accuracy without risking our soldiers, nor even the drone itself.

If you watch drone videos from Ukraine, and I've seen a lot, most drones fall when they are close to their targets, whether to drop grenades/mines or kamikaze themselves into a vehicle, due to jamming or soldiers shooting at them. Keeping the distance is one of the best ways to prevent that from happening.
