TUSAS couldn't be left behind so they dropped an LGK-82 from Anka-3:
Are they able to carry it internally ??
Likely not but the Tolun can.
I don't like the Anka-3 for its small size. It should be enlarged with twin engines or one larger F404-F1D2/RD-33I equivalent. That way it can carry larger munitions internally.
At least it still useful to have the capability to carry bigger loadout even if it cost drag and visibility.
My understanding that the flying wing type UCAVs are going to be the first wave of precision attack aircraft anyway. Weapon load is probably not as important as range, endurance, and reduced radar cross section.
Don't forget the most important characteristic for this thing: increased RCS
I can't imagine them not developing a larger stealth flying wing that can actually carry MK84 and/or SOM internally.
TEI wining GE best supplier award for the 3rd time in 10 years:
"This is TEI's third-best supplier award in the last 10 years. TEI was previously recognized as the "Best Supplier" by GE Aerospace, SAFRAN, and CFM International in Paris in 2017 and Shanghai in 2018."

It's why I talk about visibility... if they scale up the design it also help with avionics testing. They are taking big steps, all data and development help.
