Depends, Baykar was planning a twin engine version of KE, they may changed their minds to single engine KE with 20k lbf thrust OR They are still going for twin engined KE with twin 20k lbf thrust which means that later iterations of KE will be much bigger and more complex avionics wise.

And there you have it, folks. The shining pinnacle of double standards and righteous indignation. Need I even say more?

Why don't we hear anyone parroting about despotism, dictatorism and some countries being not "democratic" in this case, i wonder? Hungary is using it's democratic right to oppose anything that doesn't suit them, the hypocrisy of the EU is out of this world.

Even if it doesn't end up being an export success, it seems that it's mostly made domestically, with collaboration of multiple Turkish companies, which is more important since the money for the engine will stay at home and boost the defence industry even more, regardless it's a very positive turn.

It's fucking 2025 and i still see people mentioning joining the EU, we know this will not happen, the turkish goverment knows that will never happen and the europeans know that they will never let Turkey join, let's fucking move on. Turkey will never be let into the EU without major concessions...

Who is "we" in this matter, that "don't supports despots"? Italy who is collaborating with multiple Turkish companies, same with Spain who also does the same or the UK who is trying to sell us Eurofighters? Do you think that you are the only available alternative? About your second paragraph...

What you don't understand is that we already know what is true and untrue about Turkey and we don't need someone else to parrot it to us the same old song about democracy and freedom stuff. Anyone who openly states that those sales are blocked/vetoed due to "democratic reasons" is either a...

That's a combiner glass(HUD) with it's protective cover on top of it.

You don't even realise how hypocritical you sound with this take, that's all i gotta say.

In both cases, we are the reason that those deals being not finished, we are dragging the bargaining with very hard requirements in terms of logistics, spare parts production etc. For example, we want Meteors with EFs but we also require them to let us integrate our domestic munitions. In case...

I’m not here to roast anyone… but if the shoe fits and squeaks, maybe it’s time to embrace the red nose. Just remember, not every loud performance deserves a standing ovation.

I'm reading some comments with confusion, everyone is blaming "AKP's shitty foreign policy" but no one is explaining what was done wrongly and what should've been done instead of those mistakes. I'm not sure what could AKP or Turkey could done to reverse the situation in their favor when the...

My question is simple and raises an important concern regarding mixed inventory in terms of country of origin. Selling a jet to someone is one thing, allowing someone join the said development project is another thing. I see some unrelated answers such as we are not being ottoman empire...

That's exactly my concern too, i'm not really sure how they are going to give guarantees on that part.
