Way too small to be a gunport.

I think it is bleed door for the air intake. It is strange that this aircraft has only one instead of two on the F-22 and KF-21. See the red circled vents on F-22 and KF-21.

The red one is to bleed the air from the intake to the gap between the fuselage and the intake. The yellow circled one is to bleed the air from the top side of the intake. Both are necessary and can not be merged into one as far as it is caret inlet.

3D printed blade?
Click to expand...
3D printed blades are becoming common for low-pressure turbines. You can get close to the strength of forged blades while still having complex internal cooling channels. GE9X has its low-pressure turbine 3d printed from titanium aluminide. Casting is still the only option for truly high-temperature parts because of the need for a single-crystal structure.

Despite TEI's advances in acquiring gasturbine technologies and know how with the help of other Turkish institutions such as Tubitak-MAM and universities, TRMotor hasn't stopped the development of an engine for the MMU since 2018. TRMotor got taken over by TAI earlier this year in April and they are growing from 200 engineers to almost 1000 in the engine development project:

Temel Kotil: "In Trmotor, more than 200 engineers gathered there and going towards 1000 now. It's a great team. The goal is to deliver the National Combat Aircraft which we will deliver in 2028, with a Turkish engine. The contract tender by the Presidency of Defense Industries has not been completed yet. The engine is not selected either but we are proceeding with our own resources."

So 10 years is scheduled from start of the development to first flight. And previously, Kotil said that by 2028 12 MMU's will have been built with F110 engines and 2 will be built with the indigenous engine.

I hope to see composite outer casing on the TF6000 in the future.

More turbofan engine development from Turkiye by TEI and universities:

TEI signed contracts with Sabancı University under the project named “Development of Fan Inner Casing System from Composite Materials for the Turbofan Engines”

Seems my wish is going to come out:

Speaking and pointing to the fan case, Aksit said the following: "Normally these are made of titanium or aluminum depending on the temperature of the thing. I hope we will sign this for the first time in Turkey to develop an aircraft engine part from composite."

Aselsan is currently finishing a new test and integration facility for air defence and missile systems:

"ROBOSIM will be used for simulating the targets that air and missile defense systems may encounter in real life, including flanking and ascending angular movements. In this infrastructure, the cabins, in which electro-optical and radar target simulators are placed, will be provided with the ability to move in the flank and elevation axis by using cable-robot technology. In this way, it will be possible to simulate challenging engagement scenarios with single/multiple goals in open space."

Very interesting development and shows again the unlimited ambition of the Turkish defense industry.

And it's operational.

"ROBOSIM will be used for simulating the air and missile defense systems in the open field, including the flank and ascent angular movements of the targets that they may encounter in real life. By using cable-robot technology in this infrastructure, the cabins, in which electro-optical and radar target simulators are placed, have been given the ability to move in the side and elevation axis. In this way, it will be possible to simulate challenging engagement scenarios with single/multiple goals in open space. With the ROBOSİM infrastructure, performance tests such as compelling target detection, tracking, and efficiency verifications of systems will be carried out in a controlled, repeatable and reliable test environment.
ROBOSIM infrastructure does not have an example in the world. ROBOSIM, which requires very demanding technical features (precise positioning accuracy, speed, acceleration, etc.), includes many software and hardware components and all components were developed nationally."
