Snecma m88-2 is same diameter with ai322 just a bit longer and heavier. I just could not imagine capabilities of mius with that powerfull engine.
Looking at its size, could mius accomodate 2wvr and 4bvr missiles? What do you think?

Who can blame the Russians for not wanting to share their S-400 tech and know-how with Türkiye?S-500/S-400 hunter
With the simplest UCAV yet with highly sophisticated electronics, we managed to humiliate the pride of Russian defence industry. Kizilelma will be the ultimate predator for such systems. We should also use the S-400 system available and study them to adjust the UCAVs accordingly.

Thats why i just used the world "imagine" to explain a potential capability.
The French is way more reluctant to supply those engines and even less reliable nato "partner" than US

Can you share the power comparison of both engines if it's possible?

In terms of thrust levels tr40 is around 560lbf which powers around 500kg som j and m88-2 16000lbf (ab) 10000lbf max engine and two of them powers 33tonnes mtow rafale.
Not after turkey clashed with pkk in syria and greece .. its impossible currently for them to supply an engine that would be used in syria or in east medietrranian
I would assume that the first 3 units will be prototypes as previously seen on the Akıncı project. So, Baykar probably has at least 3 of the AI-25 engines. And, as far as I know, a squadron of F-16s consist of 20 in TuAF and a single squadron comprise of 3 or 4 teams. So, in order to establish a squadron, TuAF will have to purchase at least 20 of these or a minimum of 5 to make a team. So let's hope that Baykar has managed to secure at least 8 (+2 for redundancy) engines to build enough of these for efficient use of the air force. Once they get enough experience at subsonic speeds, these will hopefully be manufactured in dozens using supersonic engines.

This is actually a pretty good question. We know that Ukraine needs urgently financial resources and the company itself is obviously not able to produce what we'd like to purchase from its catalogue anymore due to the ongoing war in the country. Is it possible to simply obtain licence? This way the company would still stay afloat and manage to survive the situation at hand. Does anyone have information on how Turkey is planning to overcome this obstacle?
Articles like this one below suggest a rather bleak future for our engine procurements:
A Russian Victory Over Ukraine Could Deal A Serious Blow To Turkey’s Drone Programs
Turkey was relying on Ukraine for engines for two advanced drones under development, as well as cooperation on other aerospace programs. If Russia succeeds in turning Ukraine into a client regime, that's likely over.
