Knowing the width of the forward center fuselage (5m), the wingspan of the TF-X is 14m as given by Tusas. In MSpaint the wingspan came in at 1400 pixels and the forward center fuselage at 501 pixels width (very convenient indeed!). The height is a bit difficult to measure because of the distance from the camera.

So all the unveiling/first flight/taxi/takeoff of the products where to happen today but because of the earthquake, the unveilings have been postponed to april.

Ramadan is to start next week so perhaps the grand unveiling will happen after ramadan on the festive day of "Bayram" (21 or 22nd of April).

Or they'll be unveiled during the last 10 days of ramadan?

Time will tell.

The transportation of pressure vessels designed and produced by ÇİMTAŞ for Turkey's first supersonic High Speed Wind Tunnel Project, carried out by TÜBİTAK Defense Industry Research and Development Institute (SAGE), has been completed to the SAGE site.

This one is from January.

Actually Tübitak SAGE already has one but that's mainly for missiles and they need a large facility to test with the prototype.

With the amount of Turkish munitions under development, I bet it is hard to find a schedule that they can work with, that's why the wind tunnel tests were also carried out in other countries as well and in the meanwhile TA has invested in their own facilities.

This image gives a good idea on the configuration of TF-X's main weapons bay.
