What is so inconceivable about matching China or US in fighter technology: The moment the indigenous TFX engine flies is the moment we match CN in fighter technology and the moment first TFX goes on a mission powered by a Turkish made engine is the moment we match American fighter technology.

I only mean in terms of air force technology level. China is struggling with engine technology and the US fighters are becoming outdated. So there is an opportunity to be a front runner in this field. We do not need to compete with the US or CN in economy or overall military power.

A civilian version of Hürkuş-2 can attract civilian users if it is priced right. Put in more seats if you can, like 3-4 seats. Make it a family sedan plane.

When Aselsan develop the technology independently with no strings attached it is Ok to be a generation behind.

It will go into production several years later than planned if foreign engines can not be used.

Fantastic figures for the TFX, mach 2 is stellar.

A Faraday cage of some sorts, like a crate is needed to protect electronics like cell phones and computers from frying. An aluminium or steel crate with a dielectric lining inside does the job. Probably a valuables safe will do the job as well.
