Oh this is awesome. I posted a long time ago about my personal VTOL jet-powered UCAV concept which launches suicide drones.

The great thing about this is you don't risk your own troops, send this bad boy in and let it launch its little minions. Great to see TSK is keen on such a concept.

Does Turkey even need such a Drone?

Before GAZAP and HAYALET, I would have been excited for it, but since those two bombs can do the same thing as a MOAB and MOP but be used by fighters, is there a purpose for an Anka 4 strategic bomber?

You will have to send your manned jets to drop the NEB class bombs literally on top of the target to have the right effect. Stand off bombing is not an option. Also there is a lot of HKG class precision bombs in our inventory. To fire these and Gazap on to ground targets you need to get within enemy HSS ranges. A stealth deep strike bomber, especially an unmanned one, is the ideal solution.

I think that makes sense.

Will any variants of the Anka 4 also serve as a tanker or Missile boat? Or will the bomber design limit its potential uses?

A side note: Such a plane can very well be used to launch low earth orbit space payload. Like 100-500 kg payloads can be launched with such a plane. This is feasible because you don't need range with it and all the carrying capacity can go to the rocket that will carry the payload. See the foreign project in the same category.

My guess is KE will take off from TCG Anadolu (only take off, no landing). What are your guesses?

First, reminding that they are in the brotherly homeland, the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, Bayraktar said the following:

"Where will we be on September 17–21? We're expecting everyone in Istanbul. But before that, we have another surprise. Where will we be on August 30? At TEKNOFEST Blue Homeland, at the Istanbul Shipyard, God willing, we will witness our youth competing with the heroes of the Blue Homeland, the descendants of Barbaros Hayrettin, and with their creations that will leave a mark on high technology and ensure our freedom and independence in the Blue Homeland. The TCG Anadolu will be there. Our Kızılelma will be on top of the TCG Anadolu. Alongside it, the Bayraktar TB3 will be there. Our national frigates will be present as well. And we’ll even have a big surprise. Likewise, we’re expecting all of Yalova at TEKNOFEST Blue Homeland."

Selçuk Bayraktar: TEKNOFEST kuşağıyla ülkemiz tam bağımsız olma yolunda bir adım daha öteye gidecek

TEKNOFEST Yönetim Kurulu Başkanı Bayraktar, "TEKNOFEST kuşağının dünyaya damgasını vuracak yüksek teknoloji işlere imza atmasıyla ve milletimizi desteğiyle ülkemiz tam bağımsız ve müreffeh olma yolunda bir adım daha öteye gidecek." dedi. - Anadolu Ajansı
