Not so neutral for a mod, are you?

If you see any wrong judgements about warnings or bans, which he has not received any from me so far till this day, go ahead complain to the admins.

If you want to complain about my opinions and posts as a member of this forum, I'm free to have my opinions.

Of course you are, as are the rest of us. I'm just pointing out the way you're mocking someone's post!
Your approach is not professional that's all I'm saying.
Also I don't complain to admins about every little thing, I just thought I draw your attention to it. I can't stand injustice. That's just me.

As they opted for F-35, they'll more than likely just get T-7s. But, every ambassador deserves a TAI model on their desk :)

The T-7 program is in a bit of a pickle lately. They are facing delays.
In May 2023, the Government Accountability Office released a report on the T-7 program detailing problems with the software and safety systems and other delays that saw the USAF delay the next production decision to February 2025.
There is also the fact that they're building a brand new assembly line to make these. That may also contribute to the delays.
All things considered, it might take a while for Boeing to set the assembly line and make the 351 aircraft that the USAF needs.
If we don't cock this up, we do have a chance to deliver earlier than them. That might factor into Canada's choice.

Looks like Firtina ii has lost the tender to K9 A1.
That was expected. That tender was tailor made for Hanwha re specs, financing and delivery timeframes.

Well hopefully, but first Canadian F-35 delivery is for 2026 anyway and their Hawks are pretty modern for now so they'll probably opt to wait. If they can't get T-7s, there would be a heated race. Hopefully TAI has learned its lessons from Malaysia and beats M346 and T-50. A fixed wing aircraft sale to a major NATO nation would be the crowning achievement of our defence industry exports so far, no matter the program value.

Albania had placed their order back in december 22, 16 months ago. Baykar's order book is so full...

I am not sure that we will be able to export any Firtina II unless you can ensure domestic engine and such. The hassle with getting export permit should not be challenged (waste of time. It's not like these challenges are new.

Damn. Albania is one of those customer Turkiye could have pursuaded to go with CATS

Bro, BD also bought MX-15D. It is just better. Until Aselflir-500 enters mass production we will have to wait.

Obviously MX-15D is better than CATS. However, looking at Albania and their needs, CATS could have been viable if the price was attractive enough.

It is important to get these smaller customers onboarded completely on the Turkish eco-system. no need to give wealth away for free to the canadians.
