A quick questions about KE:
1. Will she do test flights for dog-fight manoeuvres?
2. Will she do the aggressive test flights to escape from A-A missiles?
3. Will she be deployed with flares for A-A missiles?
Otherwise, she will be kind of Akinci UAV, not so different.

She will be daredevil, there is no need to defend but to kill and to return

It is not that easy

1. No. Not until an AI program is developed for it to do that.
2. Probably not fully yet. But within LOS distance a possibility.
3. Most likely.

It will be very different to Akinci. Akıncı is a cumbersome slow plane that can be seen by radars. KE is stealthy. At the moment subsonic. But with a more powerful engine could go supersonic. It has IWBs.
KE, logically, should be a better fighter bomber than a Hurjet’s light attack version.

I’ve said before that this thing is crying out for a powerful engine with 14,000 lbf wet thrust and 8,000 lbf dry thrust as a single-jet variant. Its potential will probably only be truly realised with 2x AI322F or TF-10000 engines. Then it can also keep up with small fighter aircraft, provided the AI software and the latency to the ground pilot are really very good.
