Imagine K2 armed with AVCI or another Skydagger drone that's been programmed to hunt down HVTs such as parked aircraft...
Whereas TB2 was designed to launch munitions from a distance, K2 is supposed to get up close to do its work (for obvious reasons). This also means that it's a good platform to launch small drones from, meaning that if a few K2s approached an airbase they could disperse enough small drones to destroy all parked aircraft.
The problem with Iran's Shahed strikes is that they target the coordinates of an airbase without actually discriminating where the aircraft are parked. You can program small quadrocopter drones to identify parked planes, helicopters, etc.
Once air defences are depleted, every single aircraft becomes a sitting duck if you send in K2s armed with quadrocopters.
This type of concept could be further improved upon, but I don't want to give out any ideas

Every kg you add K2 would be removed from its payload, so what you're suggesting is lowering its payload which leads to which would lead to lowering the area it would be able to effect. And, those quad you want to put would destroy its flight profile. Not only would they cause significant drag, lowering its maximum range, they would also destroy its profile and make it far more visible to a radar. This is a slow platform, best defence it has is being unnoticed for as long as possible and it gets this from its shape and materials. Also, at the range K2 might be used, there is no way to control short range drones, so they would have to be completely autonomous which is so far not a thing.Imagine K2 armed with AVCI or another Skydagger drone that's been programmed to hunt down HVTs such as parked aircraft...

And, it is unnecessary, 200 kg warhead is massive. Depending on the type of explosive, how they made the casing or fragmentation sleeve and its material and whether it explodes in the air or on impact, it could have a massive effective range that would render any aircraft in a massive radius an operational kill at the very least.
Is it true that Skydagger is owned by Baykar?
