Why would you spend effort doing this rather than simply limiting AoA and AoS to ensure you never depart?

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.

Meteksan AKSON - Man Portable C-band UAV Data Link - 80km range

AKSON C-Band UAV Data Link that is LOS air-to-air and air-to-ground real time bi-directional communication system, transmits Manned/Unmanned Systems command & control data and receives telemetry & high data rate real-time video data on ground system with highly reliable Electronic Warfare (EW) protection.

Surveillance data of Manned and Unmanned Air Vehicle sensors are compressed in H.264 format and transmitted to the ground control stations in long range by C-Band Data Link. Also UAV remote control data is transmitted from ground control station to UAV flight computer in real-time.

"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

This had been confirmed long ago, you're repeatedly posting like you're engagement farming...

As an addition, the photo that you've attached is originally from Teknofest 2023...

But be realistic, you can’t finalize an AESA radar by having a console in a transport aircraft, facing the radar out of the cargo bay doors. (S. Koerans might, with much of US help)
In my opinion, the Akinci is the airborne radar testbed for the MURAD-100A. Fine tuning all the different modes like for air-to-air and air-to-ground etc. for the first time and therefore have a base for the KAAN radar.
