Really close call…
Because of the need, they are trying to fly the TF10000 before the TF6000. TF6000 has undergone almost 100 tests by now. Thrust levels achieved so far are higher than the AI-25TLT (~3800lbf). Aimed thrust is 6000lbf dry and more than 10000lbf wet.

There are new developments (TS3000/TF35000) in the field of aeroengines but they aren't allowed to speak about it by orders of SSB. They are hinting that at IDEF in July there'll be some announcements made. The time to prototype production of the TF35000 is "short".
Acc. to Ibrahim Sünnetçi (who's our most credible insider/newsperson) Anka-3 uses AI-322, thus >5,511.6 lbf.

No need to photoshop to two engines. It'll have a single engine.
Depending on the BPR of the engine, it could have at least 1.75 times the endurance of the Kaan. (Just 29% of the fuel consumption, but ~50% fuel capacity)

I wonder whether they bought the AI-9500F design or are going for a clean sheet design? Last year they claimed it to be ready to produce in 4 years.
