The engine for TF-X as yet is still unresolved - would be interesting to see what happens on that front eventually..
TF-X will take time but Bayraktar Kızılelma Unmanned Fighter is coming fast. In a few years we will see AI dog fights with 25G.

More like a few decades to take the man out of the loop in WVR air combat. BVR possibly sooner. Until then high performance UAS will either be "Bomb Trucks", or magazines for manned aircraft initiating BVR air combat.

"In regards to the improvements CANIK have made the company claims that the gun has a firing pin, ejector, and barrel with twice the lifespan of its competitors. These three parts of the weapon are also the ones that wear the most with use."

"The company also claims that the weapon’s operational performance in harsh environmental and demanding conditions has also improved as a result of the materials used and design adjustments made to it. The ability to put a variety of optical and lighting equipment on the machine gun is another improvement."
