I am a bit disappointed, I was expecting to see of cavitation torpedo on IDEF.

Then you set yourself up for disappointment in the first place.

Mahmut Akşit said in IDEF2025 that TF-6000 turbofan tests are progressing. Tests reached 3700 lbf so far and expanding envelope as planned. Considering TS-1400 reached 1800 lbf emergency thrust. I believe they will surpass 6000 lbf. I just wish these things didn't take soooooooo much time. We may end up in a war at any moment to stop David corridor, division of Syria(same plan they had even before they destroyed Ottomans using WW1) and a PKK state and here these people are taking their sweet time even for a drone engine like TF-6000 as if nothing is happening.

Do you have a link to that statement video please. He never gave a thrust level number before, so this seems suspicious.

They announced they surpassed the thrust level of the engine that was on KE's first prototype. So the number @DBdev posted should be true.

I watched a video yesterday wanted to post here but couldn't find it today neither on Youtube nor on X. Sorry.

That is from memory if I am not mistaken that was the number. Asked ChatGpt about the progress yesterday says it is normal and this is a very great achievement even at this stage.

The actual number should be way ahead of that number I gather from all the bits and pieces of information we have heard along the way so much so that it can be put to flight trials in a matter of a few months I would say. However if there is no pressure for them to do so they are already putting more effort into the TF10000 development as Kızılelma requires an afterburner engine than on the TF6000. This can all change if TAI would want to use the TF6000 rather than the existing Ukrainian engine they are using now because of evolving political matters.
