They are preparing to make them fly rapidly one after the other and it looks like the major subsytems have finished their development (apart from the engines).
"The two prototypes are expected to be significantly more complete internally compared to the P0 Kaan prototype that made two flights in 2024, with the aircraft featuring more of the mission systems to be associated with the operational aircraft."
Look at this sweet summer child:
He doesn't know they can make them lose TRNC quite easily as a punishment.

The attack on Qatar was a direct message to Turkey. I wouldn't be surprised at all if they attack Turkey next within just a couple of months. Meanwhile, Erdoğan is busy still finding new ways to commit high treason in order to cling to power.
He has intentionally weakened the military -particularly the air force- leaving Turkey very vulnerable to an attack as a result...
Don't believe/laugh all you want, but Article 5 most certainly won't protect Turkey, especially if Israel attacks Turkish personnel in Syria or even if Turkish soil is attacked.

Turkey neither has an air force that can match their technological strength and numbers, nor the vast missile inventory of Iran.
Critical projects, such as Kaan, TF-2000, Milden, and the Aircraft Carrier, are each at least three to five years away from entering service.

Aselsan proudly displayed their comms technology after the Lebanon pager attacks. What are they going to post on their twitter when certain places in Istanbul and Ankara get AirLora'd? Showboating Siper? Hisar?
Activating S-400 will anger the US and will also be destroyed in a Zio strike. Stuck between a rock and a hard place...

To be fair, after Qatar, ballistic missile program in Turkey shall probably turn from "important priority" to "national emergency".

They are immune to whatever BM the Turks can come up with in the next 10 years. They better improve their aerial situation and upgraded F-16 with AESA aren't going to cut it. Kizilelma+AESA+IRST+LRAAM are needed at the minimum.
