That is false and it has been proven countless times to be Greek misinformation. Please don't share any erroneous posts here without having a trustworthy source.Turkish air crew from Izmir celebrates Pakistan's Independence Day alongside their Pakistani colleagues who are stationed there. Following the 2016 coup, which reduced TurAF's aircrew strength, PAF boosted the number of aircrew posted TurAF.
Ah, what respectable news sources. I even bothered to click the links and look for a source but as it turns out they have none.
Almost all of these similar arguments cite their claims to the Greek misinformation attempts. In truth, after the coup, ex airforce pilots flying civilian aircraft returned to active duty and more cadet pilots were trained to fill the open positions. I've encountered this claim a lot through the years and people who have claimed it could never prove me their baseless arguments.
I get that you want to boast by saying Paki pilots flew for one of the prominent NATO airforces but it is far from the truth. You most probably don't know this since you're likely oblivious to Turkish defence matters but even just a month after the coup TuAF managed to carry one of the most intense organized air campaigns since the First Gulf War.
Let me tell you this from my many years of defence watching experience, even to this day only a select number of countries are capable of that and don't forget that this was right after the coup and during a mayhem of purges.
As I can't claim to know more than you about the PAF and its structure, you can't claim to know more about this particular topic than me. This is my last and only answer to you, I won't bother with you again.

Well, I've provided sources as well as picture to support my stance, so I advise you to produce some sources to justify your position, simple.
Are there any illustrations and (rough) stats about the Kizilelma-C, i.e. supersonic-capable Kizilelma drone with two afterburning Al-322F engines available so far?
Nothing so far unfortunately.
Prof Aksit (CEO of TEI) said multiple times that if the increase the radius of the TF6000/10000 by 15cm they can have an engine powerful enough to make the Kaan supercruise (35000lbf).
If the TF6000/10000 has an inlet diameter of 60cm, then the TRMotor engine will have an inlet diameter of 90cm.
Extrapolating the max diameter of the engine: 101cm
length: 470cm
Kinda like the XF-9 engine.
Illustration but no final stats
