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.

Aksungur apparently used Aselbuoys during the recent exercise, but the numbers seem very low:

AKSUNGUR TOLUN HIT THE TARGET ON HIS FIRST SHOT WITH HIS P.

AKSUNGUR, using the ASELSAN-produced TOLUN P bunker-busting guided munition, conducted its first test firing. The UAV, developed by TUSAŞ, hit the target with pinpoint accuracy.

Tolun-P firing from Aksungur. That is what is called a real “Bullseye”.
No wonder Nigeria is to purchase 12 of the Aksungur drones and a further 6 t-129 helicopters.

"Orion" — Russia’s "Bayraktar (Bayraktar TB2) killer."

The story of how the Russians decided to create a "Bayraktar killer."
Part one. 2021.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Bayraktar Killer": Russia brings the "Orion-E" combat drone to the international market.

The Russian "Orion-E" drone, in its combat configuration, has entered the global arms market. Russia is offering an export version of the UAV to international clients.

Russia has begun promoting the "Orion-E" UAV on the international market, and orders for the drone have already been placed. Specifically, this concerns the combat variant of the drone, rather than the reconnaissance version, which is also available for export. According to a source in the defense industry, the combat-capable "Orion-E" features a "versatile weapons suite," including unguided and precision-guided aerial bombs, as well as various guided missiles.

As of today, the source claims, there are several requests for the new Russian drone, with deliveries scheduled for late this year or early next year. It is further emphasized that, in terms of the overall combination of "price, quality, and onboard intelligence," the "Orion-E" outperforms foreign counterparts—including the widely publicized Turkish "Bayraktar."

"It is expected that, based on its overall performance characteristics... the 'Orion-E' will be one of the best offerings on the market and will serve as a 'killer' for competitors such as the Turkish 'Bayraktar,'"

— RIA Novosti reports, citing a source in the defense industry.

The "Orion" was developed by the Kronstadt company under the "Inokhodets" (Pacer) research and development project, pursuant to a contract with the Ministry of Defense. The UAV is capable of remaining airborne for up to 24 hours while carrying its maximum payload. Its flight altitude is 7,500 meters. The drone has a maximum payload capacity of 450 kg and can carry four missiles on board.

"Bayraktar Killer": Russia brings the "Orion-E" combat drone to the international market.

As we are aware only sold to Ethiopia and Algeria; two Russian customers that always bought Russian.
