Beautiful pictures. Thanks for sharing. Göklerin Beyi has an indigenous engine, right?
 
will T925 compete with S70 or complement it?
More likely complement it. While the S-70 can carry a fully equipped 12-man unit, the T925 will be able to carry a fully equipped 18-man unit. (By the way, T-925 is the code of the project. No name has been given to this vehicle yet.)

At the beginning of the project, this helicopter was planned to be around 9 tons, but now she is 11.5 tons. Probably in the future, its engine will be replaced with a domestically produced TEI TS-3000 engine. They will enter service with Ukrainian engines.

IMO it seems that in the long run we will have only 2 general purpose helicopters (Gökbey and T-925) and the S-70s will be removed from the our inventory as their fuselage lives expire. Both Gökbey and T-925 will be produced as navalized.
 
You have any details on this engine.
My guess is that the core of the TF-6000 turbofan engine under development will be used. The TF-6000 turbofan engine is expected to ignite for the first time at the end of 2023. Its overall structure will also be similar to the TS-1400 engine, but with a larger core of course.
