This was so far only seen in US and Iranian drones.

When the payloads it will carry and some POD systems are disclosed, some segments will be in for a minor shock. Here comes a navalized tactical UAV focused entirely on ship-based mission capabilities.

Any chance these may have dual racks on their hardpoints to increase number of missiles they carry ?

drone like TB2 and TB3 are not capable to fire missile, ther will be problems with the wings small drones like that. Look to the Chinese drone and ther missile, ther are several big problems with the wings because of firing missile.

I am sure it will use dual racks for the bombs like this...

Simply wow

Aksungur deliveries to the navy continue. TCB883 is the third Aksungur delivered to the Navy.

With the completion some of the subsystem-based works, it will soon become one of the most advanced maritime patrol UAV systems in the world.

Baykar want to produce 36 MIUS in 1 year, so that means ther is a lot of countries that want to buy it. Let say 15 for the Turkish armed forces and the rest for strategic partner countries. And 30 TB2 in 1 month.

Production capacity is gradually increasing. Baykar has been making significant infrastructure investments in recent years. The production volume targets in question must also indirectly describe where Baykar sees himself 10 years later. It aims to become one of the leading global companies in unmanned aerial vehicle systems. It is currently the leading company in the tactical class.
