What im trying to emphasize is not whether TEI can build an engine at the level of TF35K or not, cutting the engine to 30k from 35k lbf would change nothing in terms of time of development, that was the whole emphasize. Edit: if you want to compare TF6k time production to TF35K, also include...

Ah, i don't know from where to start to explain, let's start. First of all, TF 6000 engine was designed and developed from start to be a 6k lbf engine but it took years of work before it could even run reliably at 3,800 lbf. The big chunk of time wasn't about getting the last 2,000 lbf; it was...

The deal/license for f404 is already approved(at least for unarmed versions of Hurjet) https://www.tei.com.tr/en/media/press-releases/mou-tei-turkish-aerospace-and-ge-aerospace

Kaan may fly with indigenous engines in 2032-2033 for test purpose, similar to other countries' tests, 1 f110 + f1 tf35k, but that does not mean those engines will be ready at 2032-2033. If the information given is coming from a politician, i would think 10 times before trusting on what the...

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...
