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.

TEI Genel Müdürü Mahmut Faruk Akşit: (IDEF 2025) TF6000 motorumuz, an itibariyle KIZILELMA’nın ilk iki prototipine güç veren ithal motorun bir seviye güç üstüne çıktı. "As of now the power level of our TF6000 engine has surpassed the imported engine that powered the first two prototypes of the Kızılelma by a notch". Practically meaning the imported engine is 5500lbf and the TF6000 engine is 6000lbf as of now. So the targeted power level is achieved and they must be maturing the engine for other aspects.

And what would be the power of that engine? 3800lbs?

We can guess it to be 6000 lbf as it is supposed to be more than 5500 lbf

The first two prototypes of Bayraktar KIZILELMA, were powered by the Ivchenko-Progress AI-25TLT engine, 3800lbf.
