As I said on another platform:

He's an ex-Jane's employee and is probably receiving funds from certain sides to promote their products and downplay others'. He's hyping "unfinished products" from certain countries and is overtly critical of "Turkish unfinished product"s at the same time.

Just scrolling through his tweet history... dude’s got a straight-up hate boner for anything Turkish.

That said, he seems to have legit access to insider information.

Pt. 00 or 01 configuration? What's your take? ... and when will we finally see Pt. 01?

The intakes match the patent that Turkish Aerospace filed last year, which was two years after the maiden flight of GTU-0/P0.

There’s no information yet on when the P1 will be revealed, but it’s supposed to fly in April, so the reveal should be soon.

The pilot and technician training programs for KIZILELMA will begin in 2026. Pilot candidates are first subjected to a theoretical examination in which the systems on the aircraft are explained, and then they move on to hands-on training in a simulator. Trainees who are successful in the simulation become eligible to participate in flight training. Those who successfully complete 30 sorties in the flight test are awarded a pilot certificate. Pilot training lasts 5 months, while technician training lasts 4 months.
