Again, I'm sure they are working on it but the nose has to be something like 70 or 80 cm in diameter (I think F-16 radome is about that size) to be able to fit Murad, if it was first designed to fit into an F-16 radome. Take a look at the nose of Anka-3, does that look like it can fit in there at all?

Does an Aesa radar has to be perfect circle or square? No! It can be rectangular, octagonal or ellipsoidal. In fact most are rectangular. I measured that area under the air intake to be over 110cm wide. Under air intake the plane is quite plump.
They altered a lot of measurements in Kaan P1.
They can do the same for this too.
This new plane is to have a 1.7 ton useful load capacity. They are most likely building it to carry an Aesa radar too.
If there is a will there is a way.

EDIT

@IC3M@N FX Ivchenko Progress can not manufacture engines. They are a design bureau.
It is the bombed Motor Sich company that manufactures engines. As far as I know, after heavy bombings the only engines they are still trying to manufacture are helicopter ones.

Anka 2 is known as Aksungur, I wonder if Anka 3 will also have its own name?

If you guys had to choose, what would you name it?

Going by appearance and its role as a deep strike aircraft that's a total nightmare for adversaries, I'd choose Erlik.
