Two medium range missiles or two medium + two WVR? Are there external hardpoints for missions that don't require stealth?

If I had to guess, its weapon bay will be as large (lenght wise) as half the weapons bay of the F-22 or J-20, in order to house MRAAMs. How many of them can it carry internally? Anywhere between 2 and 4 for sure.

And it's been confirmed that it can carry external payloads for non-stealth missions.

Kizilelma and Hürjet in one shot:

No way that thing on display is a prototype, and a flying one on that! That furniture thingy is probably what Baykar calls a "production development model/prototype" which is basically still a mock-up. I think the real prototype is still in the assembly phase.
