I zoomed both of them. Blocks look different. Maybe I think that way because one pic is left side and other is the right side of the same block.

Baykar will probably integrate the AI-450C-2 version which is specifically designed for the use on multipurpose general aviation aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles in the first place.

Baykar has been integrating Al-450C for AKINCI UAV and also MS-500V-S engine for heavy armed version of it.

What did you thought, it not easy to develop a engine, specially if you don't have a industry. First you need a civillian aviaton industry to fund millitary project.

What a beautiful bird always ready to fish!!! This is the type of the bird, filled with EW suits to the brim, you want to see flying 24/7 at your borders on the land and at the sea....
As far as I know it is not stealth.
I think Gökdoğan and Bozdoğan will be fitted on this UCAV. At least it is said in various tweets of people who are followed a lot by defence enthusiasts.

i think it will only be fitted with wvr air to air missile and small AESA radar. however, Turkey increase the engine power from 550hp to 750hp for each engine which is 50% more power. That could change a lot of things..
with 550hp, it could carry any Turkish made missiles, including SOM cruise missiles...
incresing the engine power might mean more space for AESA radar, also more power to carry it..
As you can see the design change, the sattelite comminication moved up from the nose section, which means something big is going to fit there...

Ukraine and Turkey set up a joint venture in precision weapons and aerospace technologies
The state company "Ukrspetsexport, a member of the "Ukroboronprom", and the Turkish company Baykar Defence, one of the leading manufacturers of drones, established a joint venture in precision weapons and aerospace technologies.
The main task of the venture is to combine the capabilities of both countries' defense complexes for large-scale production of new models of modern weapons for their armies. This will allow moving away from classic arms purchase contracts to an entirely new level of cooperation - the synergy of defense technologies and the combination of advanced developments from Turkey and Ukraine.
One of the first joint venture projects will be the development of a new-generation unmanned aerial vehicle. This drone will be able to conduct detailed reconnaissance from high echelons of flight, spend hours in the air, develop considerable cruising speed and strike targets with a wide range of high-precision weapons.
Such new drone capabilities will be made possible by the widespread use of composite materials, digital technologies, and Ukrainian-made engines capable of operating reliably in extreme conditions. In addition, they will provide high UAV carrying capacity, which will carry a large amount of armament, even compared to conventional assault aircraft. Ukraine and the Republic of Turkey have considerable experience of effective cooperation in defense technologies.
Turkish defense enterprises cooperate with Ukraine in the field of digital communications systems, combat drones, high-precision aviation weapons, etc.. The enterprises of SC "Ukroboronprom" are conducting joint projects on the creation of military transport aircraft, active defense systems for armored vehicles and radar systems. Stable mutually beneficial work has been established in recent years, which allows combining the strengths of our defense-industrial complexes. And establishing a joint venture is another important step that will increase our countries' defense capability.
