Stop derailing the thread.

No magic. Just pure hard work and dedication for their country and nation.

TF-X is moving fast while Hurjet is lagging behind… feeling mixed about this. Hurjet’s first flight is more important than TF-X’s rollout right now

Ismail Demir “Hurjet will fly in 2023”. I fear that this indicates a delay, since he is not specific…

could be a classification mistake. Probably an Akinci

isn’t this a capture from the video they released some time ago? Or is this a new one?

I don’t remember why exactly, but an official stated that they aimed to produce 2xTF-X a month in 2029.

This is only for the first batch (LRIP) of TF-X. By (early) 2030, domestic engines will start to power TF-X.

No, the discovery is 58bn. The 170 is re-estimations of known gas reserves

so Erdogan made a big announcement worth only a year’s consumption?

do you think they will reduce the number of actuators under the wing? The current 10 are compromising stealth and their cover design isn’t optimal

Since you find it on nearly all aircrafts, there must be a good reason

Not to derail, but China is heading for a collapse with a 50% decrease in population by 2065. The U.S. is increasingly having internal issues with Latins becoming the dominant ethnic group. Both China and the U.S. will decrease in power in the long-term, however, they will remain in their own...

KSA planning to invest 3.3 TRILLION USD in Turkiye towards 2030. That is nearly 500 BILLION USD a year!

ram coating will be applied to later prototypes

True, however I caution about the angle. we will see the exact look tomorrow hopefully.

I am not saying they will place a 100-200 order tomorrow. However, over the timespan of the partnership they will operate TF-X in that magnitude. Remember, KSA wants to keep a strong air force with many 5th gen fighters and they are not getting that from the US.

There was a very high level Saudi delegation visiting. Negotiations must be in an advance stage before Turkiye shows the aircraft to KSA. KSA could become a (financial partner) ordering 100-200 TF-X. If true, it would solve one of the main non-technical hurdles for TF-X i.e. economic viability.
