Maintenance and repair is not the same as designing and producing an engine lad.

Bruh, 65 KAAN would cost something around 13 billions. That's two third of their current forex.

They don't have to be buying them all at once, they can spread it over years. The bigger question is if this is true or not, we need to see more reliable sources. I have only seen a few foreign accounts. This was expected but it could happen years later rather than now. What I am thinking is users want to get production slots before they are all taken. There is lots of diplomatic activity going on for weapons procurement recently.

If true they will find a way to finance it,KSA Qatar or both.
Who said they should pay with money

Imho it doesn't make sense to speak about exports yet. Because we haven't seen KAANs ITAR-free engine yet. And it is a fact that after we show those engines, they will pile up to buy KAAN. We have seen what happened with ATAK export to Pakistan.

If we are to have nukes we must do it ourselves

Thats how u reverse engineer smth, also I dont think the engine is real but I wouldnt say the military factories doesnt have experience with jet engines, itd js be a stupid statement, because when u maintain smth that means yk how it works, yk how it operates, how its made, how its pieced, Imo they might have just modified the F110129s internally modify it and smhw get some more thrust out of them but def not up to 42k i think its impossible until I see it run myself.

Regarding this 42000lbf thrust GUCHAN palaver:
Let us look at what the most prominent factors are in a Turbofan that matters related to higher thrust.
Basically and most commonly you can increase thrust of a turbofan engine by:
1. increasing airflow.
a) To do that yo can increase rotational speed of engine, ie RPM. But that would result in excessive wear and could cause engine to collapse if pushed to extreme revs. Even If it doesn’t collapse straight away the engine life will be exponentially reduced.
b) You can increase fan diameter to increase air flow. But this doesn’t seem to be the case in Guchan.
c) You can increase engine diameter to allow more air to be pushed through the core. But this is not the case here.
2. increase TIT. The higher the energy released from nozzle the higher the thrust obtained. But for a given engine, there are limits to how high you can go with TIT. Material science too has limits for a given engine diameter. Also high TIT means more fuel burnt.
3. Bypass ratio. More air through bypass channels will increase thrust. But this means a lot more than the 0.68:1 ratio quoted for this engine.
When TEI is struggling with these details how on earth the people in MOD R&D overcame these difficulties?
A department of Turkish MOD, set up 12-13 years ago for R&D purposes, with no manufacturing base, that started to show itself only last 3-4 years, comes up with a turbofan engine that looks like a F110 copy and claim to have attained 42000lbf thrust level from that engine. Yet there are no video proof of that happening.
If you are coming up with such an ostentatious and arguable claim, you have to bring to the table proofs of your claim.
We believed them last time with the Hayalet and Gazap bombs; becuase they provided the related video proofs of the field and lab tests they carried out for these munitions.
So where are the proofs for Guchan and Yildirimhan?

We are counting down to first flight of P1, this month or the next. I wonder how complete the P1 and the P2 will be with many subsystems ready for primetime. Exciting to watch and even get involved as a citizen.

I believe the KAAN will fly between July 7 and 8, which is exactly when the NATO summit is taking place in Turkey.
The flight is intended to be seen by the very people who are likely to be provoked by it as a show of force.

Yes,just some examples of the many.youtube is full off this kind video...
If it becomes ready to fly in June, not a single soul will be able to postpone the flight by even one day
