    TR Turkiye's F-35 Project and Discussions

    Untrue. We are neighbours, we had direct, very deep trade relations going as far as 70s with Soviets and then with formed states. Turkey was doing all that since early 2000s already. Akkuyu was awarded to Rosatom in 2010, preliminary construction started on site in 2013. We didn't get any...

    It is stupid. It's useless, sitting in a hangar in Ankara since its system tests in Sinop were concluded. We literally gained nothing from it.

    True, and the aircraft. We don't have an aircraft that can actually realistically use Gökhan at that altitude. Eurofighter could, but it won't have Murad. We need Kaan.

    Not clear if it's the case, but it is the one that makes most sense, with or without TS1400. It's all guesswork save for some scant reporting, as TAI still fails to share milestones clearly.

    Gaziantep just had a barrel replacement. Beykoz had a test article, call it a prototype. And I believe she is now retired. I think they consider these 3 as "serial" production units. Quote is directly from MSB's weekly briefing, not Akbaba's own words.

    I'm 90% sure it's the CTS800. But, it is possible it's with the TS1400 as well, it should be undergoing its tests right about now. It is possible that this test in Sweden and not Turkey was part of both helicopter's and the engine's type certificate tests. They continue to drip feed info on such...
