Yeah, I have stated those after my OG reply, well not the canopy. Maybe they wanted to show us the increased wing area that led to 5 tons of payload?

I know I know. Didn't see your reply that's all.
Regarding your question... This aircraft is competing. It's on a tender. TAI wants to export this bird to a lot of countries. So you're probably right. If you want to be transparent with your possible clients, this is one way to do it. Because you see, the OG mock-up has nothing to do with the one we are seeing right now. It almost looks like an entirely new plane. From this point onwards, TAI will probably exhibit this mock-up instead.

And just after the Image of the Second Mock-Up has surfaced, the Malaysian PM is visiting Türkiye.
Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob will embark on a four-day official visit to Turkey beginning Tuesday (July 5), as both countries strive to strengthen their bilateral and economic ties, as well as cooperation in aerospace and defence industries.
During the visit, Ismail Sabri will be accompanied by
Foreign Minister Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah;
International Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali;
Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba;
Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Special Functions) Datuk Dr Abdul Latiff Ahmad;
Air Force Chief General Tan Sri Mohd Asghar Khan Goriman Khan,
as well as Chief of Army General Tan Sri Zamrose Mohd Zain.
Sazali said that on Wednesday (July 6), the premier will travel to the capital Ankara, where he is scheduled to visit the country’s two major players in defence and aerospace, respectively - MKE Corporation and Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI).
It has been awfully silent around Malaysian Trainer Aircraft Tender.
Hoping the best.

As far as I know regarding the Malaysian offer, it had been narrowed to either Turkey or India. Malaysia can choose to gamble on Turkey and may (in the long run) obtain technology that they may have never thought of achieving or can just take the safe route with India' Tejas which isnt a bad offer per sayAnd just after the Image of the Second Mock-Up has surfaced, the Malaysian PM is visiting Türkiye.

All in all, I think that this deal is messed up; I can relate that TAI wanna enter the market but to give away hard sought tech that easily is just wrong IMO! Even if Malaysia refused, Turkey can still find new buyers while preserving their tech for themselves

Engineering facility is now connected with the hangar which seems to be mostly complete. I'm astonished by TAI's construction speed ngl

Might be because nobody can Pronounce his name "Dato' Sri Ismail Sabri bin Yaakob"
Jokes aside they are offering to pay half via Palm Oil. He better accept that deal.

India emerges frontrunner for Malaysian fighter jet order
India has offered an attractive financial package for its Tejas Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) and has committed that it can keep Malaysia's fleet of Su 30 jets flightworthy, given the vast spares reserve and technical expertise available with Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL).
