EJ200 weighs about the same as F404 but produces about 15% more thrust than the F404 used in Hurjet. Of course it is not Turkish so no automatic sovereignty over the engine but if political risk is high with a US engine it should be lower with a European engine. EJ200 cost is much higher than F404.

Turkiye does things quickly. How long might it take to design, build, test and certify an EJ200- powered Hurjet? Could Spain be interested in an EJ200 version or would delivery be delayed too much?

About carrier based Hürjet, I am starting to have doubts regarding how much of a Hürjet will that be, just aside from obivious design changes

A LCA might be a complementary aircraft for a larger naval aviation fleet but ours is not that large. We have one bet and I don't think Hürjet with LCA-level capabilities is a big enough card. The carrier-based Hürjet will likely end up being way larger (And this is not only wing area) as it is supposed to be the main combat aircraft for MUGEM.

So, even one EJ200 might not cut it for what is in works.

I will try to get an answer on that matter when I go to SAHA EXPO next week.

I am pretty sure KAAN will be navalized too, but for the first phases yeah Hurjet will be the main aircraft to be used with MUGEM (in a recent video released by TRT Haber they did announce KAAN will be used on MUGEM and the new pictures that were released of MUGEM shows the KAAN on it) other than that I think the naval version will probably be designated as Hurjet B and I also think when they said we almost have a ready ramp and are almost ready for ramp take off tests I think they meant they will start those tests with Hurjet soon? maybe this is all a speculation tho
