RR will design the engine but will not transfer know how and take all the bragging rights.

It is OK that the final phases of developmets take longer, they will be finished soon enough. TEI can and should develop our engines without foreign involvement, it is a shame RR being involved, a few years longer is not too bad if we make it ourselves, while we will already have Kızılelma in...

All Russian engines have way more diameter, so what. Being the second best not good enough?

A full size aircraft carrier is only very reasonable once we have a working thorium reactor otherwise with aeroderivative engines like the ones the UK uses Mediterrenean Sea will be the world.

Turkish military budget has room to grow with its current value of 1.8% of GDP.

1000 riders no 1500 riders oh no no 2300 riders.

I noticed that, and it is the kicker of the month if not the quarter.

We have only a few years to see how our efforts will turn out. Kızılelma, Hürjet and TFX are only a few short years away. Kızılelma and Hürjet flights are even months away.

The latest planes are the best, we can catch up quickly with some good leadership which we have. Our planes are the latest.

See my previous post. A scientist calculated it and I visualised it. https://www.defencehub.live/threads/tf-x-turkish-fighter-trainer-aircraft-projects.5/post-33841

I don't know all the ways TFX will be better than F35 but I am sure of one of them that can be seen in the picture below. F35 is the green line and TFX is the red one, the larger the better. The study is a bit dated and newer specs of TFX is supposed to be even better

6 months before rollout TFX can be expected to be assembled.

There is probably more to the plane than meets the eye like software with good automation or AI or something.

It is an aerodynamically inefficient design. If you look for a similar design actually employed you will not find one.

The design is bad but the deal may be good.

They bought it for training purposes, we don`t know what made it attractive. maybe the prize.

No it is not. Nobody is uslng that design because it is bad.

Winners of bad deslgn competition or what.

It takes more than balls. It takes public support. Ask the opposition if they will support ballsy moves while they want us out of every attempt we made.

Good thing this approach is not in power in Türkiye.
