Seems to be so, in this case we have no clue what the actual number is at this stage. However off the top of my head I remember that the Kızılelma would initially use a 5500 lbf engine and TF6000 would be like 10% higher. I have no clue what happened to that 5500 lbf engine.The first two prototypes of Bayraktar KIZILELMA, were powered by the Ivchenko-Progress AI-25TLT engine, 3800lbf.
Extra info: According to Kubilay Yıldırım(in his last interview on Kaner's channel), TF6000 has been tested about 200 hours.TEI continues testing TF-6000. The test crew gradually increases the working envelope of the engine. I expect it to produce at least %15 more dry thrust compared to a similar Ukrainian engine (Al-222/322) when tested at full rpm due to technological differences between the two. TF-6000 might see a similar maturation process compared to TS-1400. We won't know how it performs until TEI maxes out the engine and releases results.
Kızılelma, tam 1 yıl önce, art-yakıcılı AI32F motoru ile art-yakıcı çalıştırıp test etti. Ama henüz uçmadı. Bu motor art-yakıcı ile 42KN yani 9244lbf itkili bir motor. Kuru itkisi ise 5500lbf.
Exactly one year ago, Kızılelma tested its AI32F afterburner engine with afterburner. But it hasn't flown yet. This engine produces 42KN, or 9244 lbf, of thrust with afterburner. Its dry thrust is 5500 lbf.

Hmm, what did KE pt3 and pt4 fly with then? I thought at least pt4 flew and made maneuvers with the AI322F?

You guys are correct.That news is from 2024.
If they feel like it, a detuned TS1400 for lighter helicopters like AW119 at 900-1000bhp range could be interesting like the PT6B. Margins there are razor thin but much bigger market.Is there any other need than TS-3000 for helicopters. He implicitly says like there are more projects apart from TS-3000.
General Manager Prof. Dr. Mahmut Faruk Akşit:
The first prototypes produced are naturally expensive. The cost of the first TF6000 engine is $5 million.
How much a tf6000 level engine cost when and if you can buy it?

5mil sounds a stealth to me
