Patience.
Exactly!
One should be patient with these things. Just remember how long we watched the pictures of the “big fish” Akinci!
Then came a second and third prototypes. Then the flight tests. All in good time!
Has there been any time when Selcuk Bayraktar has faltered with what he said about any of the two major UAVs he has previously produced?
I believe in good time both the MIUS/Kizilelma and the TB3 will be ready and operational.
Baykar is not TAI! They have a different way of making these planes. Have patience and have confidence in Selcuk Bayraktar.

Product development model is also a prototype. Hurjet has 5 prototypes in production. One of them is only the front carcass of the plane. But it is still a prototype. There are flying prototypes, Ground testing prototypes that don’t fly. We don’t know what this MIUS is at the moment. So trying to extrapolate theories over a few pictures is not very healthy.

I trust Selçuk Bayraktar. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't think ?

We will see months later if this model is a real prototype or not.

It's not a protoype at all. Can you see equipment on it? any hatches? any rivets?
They cut out the hatches from the skin and re-attach them using rivets. This process hasn't been done yet. This build still holds all the potential to be the flying prototype.

Kizilelma again. Note how the texture of the wings & canards look different when compared to the rest of the fuselage.

Spotted a kink as well. Early flaperon ? :p
