TEI has a pooling system of engineers and scientists, but TF-6000 and TF-10000 still suffer from a lack of workforce. Every available resource is redirected to the TF-35000 project. Luckily, like %60-70 percent of the TF-6000 were completed before dedicating everything to TF-35000. At this point TF-10000 is massively delayed.

If TF 10000 is delayed what would happen to TS 3000?

If the TF-10000 is massively delayed, wouldnt that delay the TF-35000 as well?
As far as I remember, TEI planned to have the TF-35000 working by the end of 2028 and incorporate it into KAAN by the end of 2029/early 2030 for 2 years of testing following the official delivery by 2032

Different programs.

This timeline is only correct in the minds of propagandists.

Not necessarily. TEI has a limited pool of engineers to run all those projects, and engineers are allocated to certain tasks from that pool. Let's assume you need 200 engineers to hit the timeline targets of TF-10000, but you can only allocate 20 engineers from the pool due to the ambitious timeline and needs of the TF-35000 project. This is what happened to the TF-6k/10k project. TEI redirected a lot of engineers to the TF-35000 project, which slowed down, especially TF-10000. TF-6000 was nearly done when engineers redirected to the TF-35000 project, but TF-6000 will also see delays because the work on iterative prototypes might slow down. Limited resources, overlapping priorities.

Will you point to some web resources for such reporting or not.
"- At the same time, Turkey is continuing its efforts to develop a completely domestically produced engine. Officials consider a timeline after 2035 to be more realistic in terms of mass production."

That's why I said that Türkiye needs to buy more than 80. We simply do not know when TF35K will be ready for use.
40 aircraft for B10-20 are more than enough. We still have 230+ F-16s, upcoming 3 squadrons worth of EFs; as well as KEs and Anka-3. We should remember that F110 is not enough for the actual Kaan we want to build. B10 and B20 are interim solutions.

Is there actually any new information about the 80 F-110 engines, or was it all just lukewarm fart... aaah air from Trump.

There not being any new information is exactly what we want. The Congress was notified about the sale and they had 15 days to block it. No news means everything going as intented

Thank you for the link but I don't find it credible. The only explanation to why it can be delayed so much is supply chain problems finding some of the materials in smaller quantities rather than large but this can be remedied by employing alternative methods of making using different technologies. The quality variations should be tolerable.

We only need two squadrons of KAAN until 2035,remember we also will have 40 EF's and at least 100 F-16 Özgür.
Should be enough,no?
