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...

I’m not here to roast anyone… but if the shoe fits and squeaks, maybe it’s time to embrace the red nose. Just remember, not every loud performance deserves a standing ovation.

I'm reading some comments with confusion, everyone is blaming "AKP's shitty foreign policy" but no one is explaining what was done wrongly and what should've been done instead of those mistakes. I'm not sure what could AKP or Turkey could done to reverse the situation in their favor when the...

My question is simple and raises an important concern regarding mixed inventory in terms of country of origin. Selling a jet to someone is one thing, allowing someone join the said development project is another thing. I see some unrelated answers such as we are not being ottoman empire...

That's exactly my concern too, i'm not really sure how they are going to give guarantees on that part.

Not improtant in this context, China is not our regional, geopolitical or economical rival in that matter. While Azerbaijan is one of our closest allies, they are also the closest allies of Israel, their inventory is mixture of Israeli,Soviet and Turkish systems, this is the reason that i'm...

I'm not really sure on how to feel about Indonesia's interest in joining Kaan project given the KF-21 project history and their reputation. Pakistan is a given, but i wonder how are we going to protect important data of Kaan if we give those jets to Azerbaijan which has very close ties with...

He means satellite as in modularity, like something that works independently but stays connected to a main system, i know it's not used commonly, but it's a word used sometimes in that manner.

Although i agree with your take, making a domestic engine out of nothing is not an ordinary achievement. It's much easier to find an alternative for an ITAR engine than find alternative for both ITAR engine AND other critical parts such as AESA radar, EOTS, domestic munition etc. So that take...

And i again i'm repeating what i said, those words have no meanings because they are not honest in goverment levels, i don't doubt you have honest views while stating those as a person about democracy, but certain countries can't talk about democracy one day and stage a coup in a random country...
