They will be approved together, but if we refuse, we won't get anything while Greece got F-35.

Previously, Mahmut Akşit said that the team working on MMU's engine can do it as well. But, as a side effect, this would cause a delay in MMU's engine. So, it is out of the question at the moment, they won't make it.

That price tag is for a tank that exists. Also, the European market is not so easy to take for Türkiye. I said this before, buying a final product from Türkiye is too much for much European pride. Even drones that have proven and hardened in battles failed to find customers, except for Poland.

Most probably, Korea will dominate that market.

To take statements about engines seriously, they should come from Mahmut Akşit, not from Temel Kotil who is overoptimistic generally.

That is simply not possible. The national engine is supposed to be ready for integration in 2028, then the prototype with the new engine should be tested extensively, which will take time. Remember, TS-1400 was made long ago, yet testing is longer than its design. The same will happen to MMU's...

The USA said the same thing for F-4, and it didn't go well for them. One of the criticisms of the F-35 is the number of gun rounds. Especially given that the 5th Gens are appearing with big numbers there will be dog fights between 5th Gen planes. Because stealth is stealth for the other 5 Gens...

We must remember that MMU will use F-110 for quite a long time. And remember that the USA blocked T-129 sales to Pakistan because of the engine. Pakistan and the USA's relationship did not get better meanwhile. Therefore, as long as MMU has an F-110, Pakistan can't get in.

This prototype probably won't have a gun (that is what Tolga Özbek said after the TUSAŞ visit). However, the final product will have it.

Given wings are that back, where is the center of mass and lift?

"A foreign company made Hürkuş's canopy. They enforced an embargo after the first eight aircraft. Now Volo makes a canopy for MMU. The canopy was a big problem for us, but Volo is making it anyway." - Temel Kotil

It is more like ordinary people on the internet.

If there is a customer, it will be for sure. Given even TUSAŞ is looking for partners for TF-X, Kızılelma will surely be open for sale.

It can't do it with a 5 kg payload.

As far as I know, PDR is not yet completed. When will CDR start is unknown? What is the point of this speed when PDR and CRD are not completed?

What is the point of making the first flight this early? Many critical subsystems, such as BÜRFİS are not ready. What is the point here, except being able to do it ahead of the planned timeline? They can't deliver it to force before all critical subsystems are completely tested, so it won't help...

It is a flying wing; it won't be able to do that.

Here we go again.

Don't expect that much; TF-10000 is actually TF-6000 with an afterburner behind it. He told himself a couple of weeks before that those engines would take time to produce because each part of the engine should be coded into printers which will take time. Look like they are taking a risk and...

@MADDOG can give more information about missing parts. BÜRFİS radar is the first that comes to my mind.
