Yes, a version with 2×AI-322F is planned. I think I had heard that It would fly by mid 2024 or something.
Here's an unofficial fan CGI depicting how it'd look:

Here's an unofficial fan CGI depicting how it'd look:
Look at that size
Pocket J-20
It is big enough that makes the gun look like a 7.62mm machine gun.
I just checked wikipedia and it mention its supposed to have Russian engines?
Number of flaps on the twin engined variant seems different from that on the current prototype.
That is a fan-made CGI, not official.
These two planes are not in same class and sophistication and i doubt he understand alot of things about aviation industry.2019-2023
isnt this ironic that Russia offered chopper Erdogan more than two decades ago and now Turkey has to built chopper based on same engines which are outdated by two generations.
He was Mayor of Istanbul. that advice must have come from some one connected in Istanbul.
Head of TEI:
"We haven't started the ATAK-2 (T929) engine yet. Because our helicopter team is working on the TEI-TS1400 at full throttle. The ATAK-2 engine is now a secondary priority."
"TRMotor project manager at MMU engine, we give him engineering support. It takes 8-10 years to develop such an engine, 5 years are required from us. Developing such an engine costs 7-10 billion dollars, we will do it for 3-5 billion dollars.”

- All Hurkus airplanes have been sold abroad out of the TurAF inventory. The TurAF is going to receive Hurkus-2.
- "We are developing an unmanned helicopter. We'll show it at the Paris Air Show."
- "The design of our 10 ton class utility helicopter (T925) continues. A mock-up is also being prepared. We will show it at the Paris Air Show."
- "We will deliver 20 Kaan to the Turkish Air Force in 2028."

The Anka-III development started in January 2022!
“We will be ready to fly in a week” Stating that the ANKA-III project started operating in a very short period of time, Yıldız said, “Last year, in January 2022, the decision of the board of directors was made. If we can fly our plane within a week, this plane will come to life in 16 months.
The reason why we do this so fast is because we make good use of the legacy of the past. It took a long time for ANKA UAV to enter the inventory, but on the legacy of ANKA, we built Aksungur in 18 months. I hope this plane will have flown in 16[months].
We are currently doing the taxi tests, we have a few problems; We have identified the problem, we are solving it. We couldn't work today because of the ceremony. We will have finished them tomorrow. If there is no problem, we will be ready for flight in a week."
