It takes half the time for the next engine.

You sleep better than me at night.

That's not how any of this worked, ever.

Paradigm change, everything changed, looking forwards not backwards.

You sleep better than me at night.

Making innovation takes a doze of optimism otherwise you stay away from it. When it is only a matter of time you just be patient.

I still disagree,havent seen anything confirming your assessment of the Kizilelma.

Isn't it the first UCAV to fire an air-to-air missile using its own radar?

Isn't it the first UCAV to fire an air-to-air missile using its own radar?

Yes but that alone doesnt make it a fighter jet.

I would put it on an unmanned plane by end of 2028

That's because you don't really live in the real world where things like engines have to go through hundreds to thousands of hours of testing on the ground in different conditions, taken apart over and over again and inspected before they are even remotely ready to be put on something flying.

Yes but that alone doesnt make it a fighter jet.

For an aircraft to be considered a "fighter jet," it must be able to reach supersonic speeds, perform air-to-air missions, and be equipped with radar and electronic warfare systems. Kızılelma is capable of doing all of these.

TF6K-10K will primarily power unmanned platforms, Kızılelma and Anka3 . So you could take the risk of losing a few platforms and start deploying them as soon as possible. Kaan , typhon, F-16, F35 vs. are not coming before 2030 and we need aircraft in the air with or without fully developed engines. End of story.
