Air force commander Hasan KÜÇÜKAKYÜZ: "We will not be comfortable until we deploy our nationally produced smart munitions from our national combat aircraft and produce a signal source from our own GPS satellite."

It fits well with the dates Mr. Temel Kotil mentioned before. He said that the first delivery will happen in 2028(probably in Q3 or Q4) and now we learn that IOC(Initial Operational Capability) is in 2030 so far so good.

Don't give too much credence to this chart. It contains various foreign (and old) weapons which I doubt will be used by the TF-X.

Will SOM-J not fit in the internal weapons bay?
SOM-J was specially produced as a deep strike missile that can hit moving sea targets as well. It most definitely will be integrated in to TFX.

If SOM fits, SOM -J fits too. It's interesting that it's not included in the chart

Don't think it will, SOM-J was specifically desgined for internal carriage on F-35 which has large weapons bays that can fit 2000lb bombs.

TFX is an air superiority fighter first and foremost, although it will have multi-role capabilities it was not designed to be a stealthy bomb truck like F-35 is.
