And the unavoidable follower question "what motorcycle?".

It is mentioned that there is interest from some major nations, I can't wait to put some on the map.

Experience, gained from the two previous platforms and a little tolerance towards risks. They have gained lots of trust that a little failure may not hurt their reputation. They seem to have enough confidence. And contrary to my estimation the first prototype is a carrier capable one, amazing.

They respond to market trends/changes quickly which is promising.

By that time who knows who will make a better plane.

Coloring scheme touches hearts.

But it does not work without a heat source does it.

We don't have nuclear propulsion technology as of now and it is not a priority asset for Türkiye. However when and if we have a clean reactor technology we may very well make use of it. A thorium reactor is very well suited for this purpose.

Both SSB and MoD directly report to Turkish President.

We were in a similar situation with LM in TAI now we are better off without them. Same thing can happen with GE. We can still do their work if they still want but they will not have any say in what we are doing, anyway.

New situation requires a new approach and a speedier progression towards domestic engines and planes. We can go full all out on TF6000 development and design a new plane as a twin engine unless a more powerful Hürjet with EJ200 makes more sense.

It is because GE is in TEI that we kept relying on it for prototypes. It is probably time to sever ties with GE and call it square for our invested money in the F35.

It does not happen just like snap to take a chunk of the weapons market dominated by big players. Just like how TB2 swept the place off of the competition Hürjet and others will play a similar role. All of our weapons systems for that matter. Let's see what happens after the US midterms. We will...

Twin engine Hürjet, now! Twin engine Hürjet, now! Twin engine Hürjet, now!

We can already make the hard parts, the ancillary parts are easier to make. Fuel and oil pumps and such are just a matter of time to make. Kale made them themselves for their KTJ engines.

We don't need outside help to make our planes fly we only need to work harder to make them in house. We can see how Aselsan can locally make imported parts through local industry companies. Same process can be started sooner than later for TEI projects.

Because PD170 has better high altitude performance.

I don't think this kind of systems can be regional as the satellites have to rotate around the world to maintain orbit. This means that the system must cover a belt around the world.

We don't know if it was designed to accomodate that engine alone, it looked like it can accomodate larger engines in terms of volume. But still the weight change need to be addressed. They may have to change the structure of the plane but still it may cause a setback of several months and not more.

It shows as a UFO on the radar screen at best.
