KAAN's internal weapon bay.
You think we can double-stack the Fox-3's?

Six Gokdogan/Gokhan at best.

Yes, each bay holding 3x Gokdogan/Gokhan.

Looks like they shoved a loaded selfie stick in there and captured the pic, am I correct?
It feels to me KAAN will have a very significant payload, like carrying Bozdoğans *and* Amraams while also carrying Som-J. That bay looks like it was meant for Som-J. If it can carry total 10-12 AA missiles in pure AA config that would be neat (side bays included)

Being able to carry SOM-J inside was confirmed multiple times
Let me rephrase, it feels they made those bays and therefore the plane as large as it is just so they could fit SOM-J to make a point

BVR missiles bigger then they looks.
6x Gokdogan/Gokhan and 2x Bozdogan sounds more realistic in AA configuration.
KAAN's weapon bay is probably big enough so they don't have to cut the fins and actuators to fit in like F-22's bay above.
But i would be really surprised if they can fit 4x missiles in each main bay.
The MMU is such a plane, It's hard to describe with words. Every single day when I was a child in the early 2000s going to bed with a dream of becoming a pilot, perhaps even flying a Turkish made fighter jet. Waking up feeling sad but remembering you can atleast play some flight simulator and soon apply to a flying school. Vague talks about domestic fighter jet among my family. I grew up with a non-existant jet fighter. But I lived my childhood years as if, MMU always existed but somehow crashed and is in hangars for years, refusing to come out but now, finally after many years, it might fly at the end of the year with bandages possibly.
Now, after growing up, passing on some offers from flying schools, deciding to become a software engineer and now realizing, it's actually becoming real, it's a weird feeling.

Temel Kotil loves to talk about KAAN, a very nice interview things we already now. But nice to watch it. From 3:26 he is talking about Gokhan missile, but call it Meteor. Side bays are for Gokhan missile confirmed, and he is talking about 200km range? I do not understand it well but sounds like 200km.
If Kotil had Fly computer, actuator for the flaps and landing geras it would already flew
. They are waiting for these parts...Kaan is faking big...

No. It's a part of the central bay cluster.
