So if the customized 300 series EBAM machine can 'print' more than 20kg of material per hour and if we take an F-22 bulkhead as comparison (3000kg weight), it'll take an entire week to print a bulkhead.
Just to clarify, that's not the final bulkhead (which will be considerably lighter) but the near-net-shape forging from which it is machined - those stiffening ribs will eventually be maybe 1mm thick. Even allowing for the fact that for a 3D EBAM part due to printing accuracy you'd deposit excess material and then trim to final shape by machining too, the time will be significantly less than that.
I'm still not entirely convinced how well current 3D printing technology is suited to highly loaded parts like fighter fuselage bulkheads though. Due to the different microstructure compared to a forging, it may not offer much of a weight saving. If you do not have existing forging capabilities in your industrial base, the shortened manufacturing lead time could make it an attractive path nontheless.
The first export country for the Akinci is Ukraine:
"Despite the criticism, MEE can reveal that it was Ukraine with whom Turkey signed a new deal last week for the sale of the heavily armed, high-altitude endurance armed drone Akinci, the first export of such a system, whose engines are also supplied by Kyiv.
The Akinci drones will be delivered to Ukraine next year. But it is an indication that Ankara will continue to support its northern neighbour despite the reluctance of some other Nato allies, such as Germany, which has refused to even permit the UK to deliver arms to Kyiv using German airspace."

And now it is denied:
SPECIAL | According to the information obtained by from security sources; The news that AKINCI TİHA was exported to Ukraine or Libya does not reflect the truth.
Ah well...

The Radar Roadmap of Aselsan, Turkey's top electronics company.
I recommend anyone interested taking a look at it.
The radar of MMU/TF-X will be ready by 2026. I presume they will fly with a placeholder until then(maybe with the national AESA radar of F-16s(?)) By the way, the parts production for the first MMU prototype has already begun.

Turkish defense industry targets for 2022:
About 2022 Expectations
Demir stated that in addition to the completion of projects that started in the past, 2022 will be a year in which new systems will be delivered to the security forces and new projects will begin according to the needs. HÜRJET will leave the hangar and ground tests will begin. Mini UAV-D systems and mini UAV BOYGAs that drop ammunition will be put into use for the first time. Bayraktar TB3 SİHA, capable of landing and taking off on ships with short runways, will make its first flight. Our A400M fleet of 10 aircraft will be completed by the delivery of the last A400M aircraft. " said.
Emphasizing that they expect it to be a year in which many new systems in electronic warfare and radar will be activated, Demir said, "Systems such as the Early Warning Radar System, Low Altitude Radar System, Portable Electronic Attack Systems will be made available to our security forces. In addition, the Development of Electronic Warfare Systems to be Used in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. We will start the (İHASOJ) Project. Projects that will bring various capabilities to our unmanned aerial vehicles will also be activated. We will start our R&D projects in communication and information technologies, cyber security, various fields. We will launch more than 200 companies within the scope of the Industrial Competency Assessment and Support Program (EYDEP). We aim to support it.” he said.
Defense Industry President İsmail Demir explained the 2022 targets of the Turkish defense industry:
“Within the scope of the Göktuğ Project, we will make the first deliveries of BOZDOĞAN in-sight and GÖKDOĞAN beyond-sight missiles”
“Baykar Mini UAV-D systems will be delivered"
"UAV BOYGAs that drop ammunition will be used for the first time”
“Systems such as Early Warning Radar System, Low Altitude Radar System, Portable Electronic Attack Systems will be made available to our security forces”
“We will start the integration of Bayraktar TB3 SİHA to the Multi-Purpose Amphibious Assault Ship ANADOLU.”
“Jet Training and Light Attack Aircraft HÜRJET will leave the hangar and ground tests will begin”
“We will start the Project for the Development of Electronic Warfare Systems to be Used in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (İHASOJ)”
“We will make the first deliveries of our original helicopter GÖKBEY to the Gendarmerie General Command”
“We will make the first delivery of PARS 6x6 Mine-Proof Vehicles"
"Armored Amphibious Assault Vehicle ZAHA will be delivered”
"FNSS ACV15 Modernization will start deliveries"
"FNSS Kaplan 10 with Roketsan KMC will be delivered"
"We will develop and deliver new unmanned ground vehicles of various types and features in various classes."
“The Gökdeniz Near Air Defense System will be integrated into the ISTANBUL frigate for the first time”
“Our KARAOK missile will enter the inventory for the first time”
“The Bayraktar TB3 SİHA, which can land and take off on ships with short runways, will make its first flight”
“We will now deliver the KTJ3200 Turbojet engine to be used in SOM and ATMACA missiles”
"The test infrastructure, where the tests of turboshaft engines will be made, will be put into service."
“We will start the process for the construction of the prototype ship within the scope of the Turkish Type Assault Boat Project (TTHB)”
“We will start the renewal of fire control systems in M60T tanks with the local and national Volkan-M system”
“We will make the first deliveries of SUNGUR Portable Air Defense Missiles”
“We will tow the 2nd submarine into the pool in the New Type Submarine Project”
“With the delivery of the last A400M aircraft, our A400M fleet of 10 aircraft will be completed”
“The development of the National Combat Aircraft and the production of parts will continue.”
"Deliveries of the Basic Trainer HÜRKUŞ will be made"
