I don't see how TAI was a shining start as it was doing nothing before they were ordered to make planes by the current government. What fruits did TUSAŞ make so that Baykar could eat?

Under the current government both TAI and Baykar are shining stars. Under another government both companies may turn into dead stars.

It is not wasteful but necessary: TEI is 46% GE for one thing. Add to this the possibility of a government change and a new government makes up reasons to put a stop to engine supply to Baykar. We have seen similar things in the past of Türkiye, stop the Turks from inside, "aviation is...

Here is more reporting on the same subject that has additional information.

This line of news seems to be lacking in detail, here is more information.

Conflicts around the world are heating up. There are other makers who want to grab market share, Turkish military are not the only customer.

An engine with some problems is still an engine that can fly in a good capacity and preferable to foreign sourced engines.

Why not, please substantiate your claims. Is there a prerequisite by law to have spent a certain amount of time developing an engine or what? You can do anything in that time when you make the best use of time.

Please speak openly, I had to check out if the SSB Chief's name is not Haluk Görgün but it was.

Not really, "we will fly with our own engine in 2028" may mean the engine will have been qualified for mass production by then as well. Combine this with the statement of the SSB Chief Haluk Görgün "We intend to make the engine ready in time for mass production".

A few years down the road there maybe other offerings on the table for a fighter, when you have engines you can make various planes.

I am not referring to early stage alone, in the long run more countries can be expected to join.

Pakistan will only need Kaan should India have stealth fighters. Malaysia can certainly buy some Kaan but in limited numbers. I would expect gulf countries to join in at later stages.

USA has 4 times the population and will not hesitate piling even more debt to be in #1 position while we will only care to grow in a natural and easy way.

Temel Kotil also says "we are #11th exporter of defence products in the world and what becomes Türkiye is to be #5th" which means ; USA, France, Russia, China, Türkiye. I would say Russia and France keep their positions because of relations with their past customers. Otherwise Türkiye can even...

Mini in project volume maxi in impact.

That would be 6000 lb = 2721 kg

I am not aware of the threats Bangladesh is facing but the cost and availability of things may present attractive opportunities.

TF10000 is not the Kaan engine TF35000 is.

A similar statement was made a couple of months ago but was overlooked by Defencehub. Also SSB chief Haluk Görgün stated that they intend to start serial production of Kaan with the domestic engine. This statement maybe new as the third sentence was not part of the previous statement.
