Only makes sense if it gets relocated to Türkiye.
We need to expand our own aviation ecosystem and not bail out somebody else's.
The TF6000 engine can possibly be used on this plane.
This is a niche market plane with few customers.
It only makes sense if a lot of aspects are fully aligned and a...
The only real threat towards Türkiye is the US with their mainland far far away.
We need carrier killers and hypersonic glide vehicles to counter this threat.
Sometimes it is a good policy to let the players to their own means to see what happens without some additional help from outside. Türkiye's passive involvement in recent matters is a soft power. If things get real sour Türkiye is here to assist Libya to an acceptable governance.
Entire body of the plane must be scrapped, only engines, propellers, optics and other components can be used. Makes no sense, if there were such a need Ankas would be sold second hand and all new production can be made Aksungur.
Once you have developed a successful fighter the next development will take like half the time.
US for one has brought down the development cycle to less than 5 years.
It also is a different story when you are developing a ground breaking fighter and a common fighter.
Türkiye has also nearly...
We have weapons development progress in all fronts. It is a matter of months to announce ramjet missiles. Once A2A ramjets are announced ground to ground ramjets will be a natural follower. When entire hostile territory of the enemy is in our unstoppable missile range then what good is a fighter...
If we can pull off a workable engine from the TF6000 project we can make both the single engine Kızılelma and a twin engine jet with it. Small but effective planes that do not carry a whole lot of load but precision munition that does a neat job would make us much better off in which case we can...
It is pretty much certain that we can make jet fighters we are only counting months to see our planes built so we need to focus our efforts on engine development.
