Well, it was a cockpit mockup with a functional wide angle MFD, side stick controller and instrumentation. It was not a simulator, but it was as realistic as any other cockpit mockup. However, the point is, the design of the front fuselage of the final prototype matches that of the Farnborough mockup.

as far as details go, I think the difference you noticed is due to the low picture quality in the new pic.


Just a question, do we have a realistic profile drawing of the MMU's/TFX's current configuration?
I remember when the PAK-FA/Su-57, the Checkmate, the J-20 and J-35 all came out, immediately some artists began to draw profiles ... but not so here?

The most authoritative drawings I know of are from the presentation at Anatolian Eagle 2021. Here:

There are some more slides from that presentation which you can find on other forums. But honestly I am not sure if the prototype will look exactly like those drawings.

And there is also a japanese modeller on twitter who is building a 3D model based on photos of the prototype being built. His model is still incomplete because there aren't enough photos of the prototype available, yet. He will probably complete it quickly once we get more photos. You can find him here:

Finally someone who took up where I left off.

80 meter tugboat by DESAN shipyard. The Turkish Navy will get 3 of these as far as I remember. It is a multi-purpose ship with high speed. Can be used for anchor handling and servicing buoys in deep water. It can be used for rescue ops too.

Say hello to METE (micro missile, 1km range) from Roketsan:

Can be very useful as ammo for mini-UGVs and mini-UAVs. Mini-UAVs with grenades and mortar bombs will lose their survivability fast, especially against AFVs. A lot of countermeasures (both organizational and hardware-based) are in the pipeline. I can also see it being used for neutralizing enemy combatants that are in windows and on roofs. Accurate, long distance and explosive firepower for infantry can be very useful in urban combat. Grenade launchers have many limitations, to the level that many experts question their existence. I can see possible uses for snipers and anti-material rifle guys too.
