That is also almost impossible as I state here:

The first F404 is on its way and will be delivered in a couple of days for the Hürjet prototype, as stated by Tolga Özbek here:

That's fake news. She is Ivanna Plantovskaya, just a normal secretary in the press service of the Southern Regional Directorate of the State Border Service of Ukraine, not a military personnel. She's also a model. If you look for the name Ivanna Platovska, you'll see that only dumbass Turkish...

Anka (عَنْقَاء‎‎) is the Arabic version of Konrul from Turkish mythology (equivalent of Greek/western Phoenix, Persian Simorgh (سیمرغ, lit. thirty birds). So Anka would be a really bad name for a Turkish fighter jet. Konrul on the other hand I can understand. But I still think you can just name...

I don't think TF is necessary. Just call it F. F1 in fact, as our first fighter, disregarding Hurjet which is a later project anyway. You can have a name for a potential series like Kartal or something, to differentiate from Mirage; TAI Kartal F1.

Mahmut Akşit has stated in multiple interviews that the preliminary schedule for the first TF6000 prototype was the first half of 2023, but that will probably be delayed into late 2023 (due to supply chain issues, not embargoes per se) and that for them to start on the production of TF10000 they...

Kızıl Elma and Hürjet in terms of their engine needs are absolutely incommensurable. Hürjet is a trainer and trainers do crazy hours and need very sturdy engines with regards to their repairability (and we know how Soviet tech fairs compared to western engines in this respect). Another issue is...

There were like 14 prototypes I think made for EJ200 for accelerated simulated mission endurance testing, helping compress thousands of hours of testing to a couple of years and this was one of the fastest engine development programs afaik from a company with the kind of pedigree we all know and...

Some of you guys have bad taste; the prototype looks 10x better than the bland mock-up. I love Su34 because of its duck nose, and the nose is a bit similar here; it's obviously much more like F-35 but the top is a bit flatter which I like aesthetically. Size-wise, it's all about the camera zoom...

AFAIK there's only a small group working on that, and it's done using internal funding. It's like Hürkuş and the people who compare it to MMU and predict the same lengthy development woes, not considering like there's literally just 2 guys testing that thing.

Conventional wisdom one-liners don't mean anything. Reality is always much more complex than even the most sophisticated of analysis, and I'm pretty sure you haven't done any field reporting or analysis of German Army. I used them as an example because the news is the most recent.

A cursory web search shows this "news" to be available only from certain dubious Turkish sources recently, but the original rumor seems to date back to 2019. A commonsensical sense of skepticism should kick in when you hear something this stupid. The Link 16 and MADL data link systems of course...

As it stands now, it seems to me that TEI is doing their own advertisement by developing TF6000 with internal funds to showcase their capabilities to SSB which seems to be more inclined to work with the RR/Kale side. So there's no two baskets and there's no government funds for these TEI...

Projects of this magintude have ballooning costs when it comes to serial production; cooperation and sharing of production load and costs will be necessary, and this cooperation will be with close and friendly nations like Azerbaijan, Pakistan, Indonesia, Malaysia and Bangladesh hopefully...
