I know it's a stupid question, but has the picture been confirmed to be genuine? The angle has been photographed is strange, as if someone had photographed a Video Photo or Videoclip from the Canvas again.

I think the photo as the second prototype is a fake because Erdogan's signature is in the same position as on the first prototype.

Yeah, makes no sense to me either, especially when second prototype was still in early assembly process not so long ago, and probably still is.

Apparently second prototype; looks like prototype 1 (tech demo) to me

Second Kaan Prototype it is then, as the minister states in the video saying "this is the second Kaan, you (people at press event) are the first to see it"

That is absolutely the first prototype. They probably showed the wrong image at the press briefing. Hate me all you want, but I firmly believe these so-called "reporters" are just too afraid to tell the truth. "The all mighty Head of SSB has spoken! Who are we to doubt his judgment!"

Edit: Check these pictures from Milliyet Newspaper, published on December 8, 2024. This is %100 the GTU-0/P0

I actually hope they lowered the cabin a little bit, like in the red highlighted area and it’s not just a different perspective on the first prototype.
That would be a step forward to make the fighter more eye pleasing (Less Angry-Bird vibe)

That's going to be a spicy plane, T:W of 0.97 at takeoff!

I dare say the jet is actually 10 to 20k lb heavier cause even with all the new material advances and the innovative approach that TAI has taken; there's no way that a jet of this size and mission role is that light... Maybe these are only the specifications of the tech demo (P0/GTU-0) and the real prototypes and the serials after that will have different specifications due to mission payload?

I think an intern tasked with this specifications-update made a mistake or something, I mean yesterday we were also given the photos of GTU-0/P0 as supposedly the photos "P1".. This is quite literally a PR disaster (and not the first one at that!)...

People share these as the new dimensions of Kaan, but in reality it isn't. These are the actual values of Kaan P0. I have said it here many times that P0 isn't as big as people make it, and actually many people with interests like Paralay and Buchmaru calculated the length to be 20.2m
