I'm afraid it is the first batch... The delivery was delayed for whatever reason. I hope future deliveries will be on schedule.

At least now we now how many T129's fit in one A400M ;)

The MIUS 'entered' the production line according to Selcuk:

The name is 'KIZILELMA' which means 'red apple'

And its huge! It's a bit longer than the Akinci from what I can see. The MIUS is almost 14m long!

That's actually the production development model, so that's not the prototype.

It took Akıncı 3 years from the same stage to enter the inventory so don't get too excited like it's already delivered.

Anyway, as far as I can see, It's as big as Hürjet, and Hürjet is almost the same size as an F-16 so this should tell a lot about the possible capabilities of this beast. It has a lot of internal volume for electronics and fuel considering the class this jet is in. (6t-MTOW)

Indeed. I didn't see openings for main wing on the fuselage like you see with the TB-2 production model. There don't appear to be movable control surfaces on the vertical slabs either.

However the aircraft engine appears to have been delivered. I think things will progress a lot faster than 3 years.
