Redundancy, increased safety margin, combat manoeuvring, battle damage recovery.. With over 1 million flight hours clocked on TB2 platforms, they are in a good position to deem it a good idea to have that capability over the other drone developers.

"As a result of these efforts, the TM100, with its standout features such as a triple-redundant engine control unit, modular power groups, and advanced thermal management, became the most advanced aviation engine in its class. We also successfully completed its first flight tests."

Looks like they’re at the rapid testing phase with the TB3; four days in a row of taking off and landing on the TCG Anadolu LHD, even doing takeoffs from a land base and landing on the ship.
Would be awesome if they could also whip up some cargo pods that can carry up to 100 kg each pod, supplying goods, spares from land to sea, bet it would be a lot cheaper to operate then choppas
