"We signed a protocol with Ege University Rector Mr. Necdet Budak to establish an Advanced Coatings, Thin Films and Surface Research Laboratory."

Of course they do. That's the reason why the R&D team changed the landing gear configuration to begin with. It would've been more economical to use the landing gears from the TB2 instead, but that's not what Baykar did.

Heavier the airframe is, the sturdier the landing gear will be. I don't know what you were expecting to be honest. TB3 will be slightly heavier than the TB2 (which itself is light as heck). You don't need the landing gear configuration of an F/A-18 on this thing.

TB3 is pretty light.

ANKA UCAV during her flight tests with ULAK

Another SS of Hürjet.

You'll see a boom before the flight 👍

I guess the only difference is that there won't be that many external differences. Most of the changes will be internal.

I guess it counts as the first flight of a tech demonstrator. Whereas Block 10's maiden flight will be considered as the genuine first flight. Not that big of a deal tbh it wouldn't be the first time that officials confused thousands of people with these statements 😂

İbrahim Sünnetçi: "The actual maiden flight will take place in 2025, this flight (he is referring to GTU-0's planned 2023 flight) will be a part of the accelerated aircraft flying programme."

Precisely so. I know Kotil and Demir from their THY days 😁
