Here's the most recent image from Today, I'm not able to identify this E/O turret. It doesn't look like MX-15D to me. Any ideas anyone ?

MX-20 has 4 windows on the E/O ball
These are different airframes. This one appears to be having a Aselsan made EO mockup.MX-20 has 4 windows on the E/O ball

For moving targets it is a good option. But laser seeker needs a separate laser targeting and in cloudy weather may have problems when operating above clouds. Another seeker head like RF, GPS, IIR may give longer ranges and would not have the drawbacks of laser seeker heads. As well as laser seeker, I would like to see another seeker head being used on them too.Ismail Demir: 150+km range TRLG missile with laser seeker is in use.
TRLG missile with a range of 150+km. Likely, TRLG-230 to be launched from drones.
I am %99 sure this is a Wescam product (I searched every possible EO provider). Maybe it can be a MX-20 but it is mounted deeper than Akıncı ?Not Mx-25D. Screws are not in the same place. One higher than the other

Next stop MIUS, after it i wish Baykar will go towards unmanned subcosmic long range strategic bomber aircraft.
Do not know his vision and plans but that one would be logical continuation of his military program but as you said his company is private one and he might go in civil projects were is profitabily and long term sustainbility. Either way i do not doubt that he will be sucsessfull.Such a plane would be good to have for Turkey but there is no export potential.
After MIUS I guess the next step is a better MIUS. Even MIUS has little export potential.
Although after MIUS Baykar announced that flying cars will follow.

Hope so that TAI will take the torch and continue to suprise us with bold ambitious project like Baykar did in past if what you say occur to be truth.Baykar will go after products that will sell in high numbers but TAI can make a long range bomber and supersonic passenger planes. Imagine they make three engine and four engine planes using the TFX engine. Planes that fly at twice the speed of sound carrying up to 30 people to the far side of the world in a couple of hours.
How many are being delivered today?
Two by the looks of it.
