TF6K engine is close to being a reality but the TF35K engine is still far away, so as the saying goes "one bird in the hand is worth two in the bush". We need to make full use of this engine to be on the safe side.
F404 has 11.000 dry and 17.700 afterburner thrust
TF10K has 6.000 dry and 10.000 wet thrust x 2 = 12.000 dry and 20.000 wet thrust
dry power is 9% more than the F404
and wet power is 13% more
Looks like the power levels are not far off. I don't see why not.
Mr Temel Kotil's prediction is we make the TF35K in 5 years and also every other engine we need. If you call it childish, then you better have better credentials than him.
KE and Anka-3 are coming online in less than a couple of years. When equipped with the TF6K and EASA radar the enemy will not even know what capability we have. We will also go ahead and upgrade our own F16. So we keep our money in our pockets and do not feed it to the bullies. Critical 4 months...
I have an idea of a similar disposable drop helicopter but needs experimenting. I am sure it can work, similar to parachute speed but steerable and faster. You can even use drop gliders and helicopters for firefighting.
For small cargo airdropping, US military started using winged coffin like boxes invented by Chip Yates. You drop the box wings open and glide to its destination.

1400 °C is achievable with metal without cooling, you put gains with cooling and coating on top of this. There is no telling how much we gained by such improvements.
The main fan is the biggest and hardest to make, as it is a big chunk of metal to manipulate in a CNC machine. The other parts are easier to make afaik, so all other compressor fans can be safely supposed to be blisks.
There are only a couple reviewers on YouTube who find faults in Canik METE MC9 out of hundreds. And the faults they come up with can be caused by other elements than the pistol itself; like faulty ammo, or shooter riding the slide release or wrist limping and such. I hundred percent disregard...
