of course, with less income for our industry.
Agree.
Did you read the article you linked? Nobody cancelled anything, there is just talk about "reconsidering" and "getting cold feet" and the article is almost a month old and nobody officially cancelled anything in the meantime. Before proclaiming someone is wrong, at least read your supposed proof.Wrong.
Allies cancel orders of F-35s, the fighter jets that will cost $2 trillion
Portugal, Canada, and Switzerland have faced internal calls to cancel orders of the significantly over-budget program.
of course, with less income for our industry.
Agree.
It is very likely that some countries will reduce or cancel the F-35 deal.
If you're going to retort a point, please do read the thing you send as a reply first. I did actually read that 2 weeks ago so I do know that it doesn't actually say what you think it says. It's a nothingburger "US should cancel the F-35" piece like hundreds of others in the last 20 years.
"Speaking to German media, Pistorious said “The United States is and will remain an important ally for us – also for the Bundeswehr’s equipment. This applies not only to the F-35, but also to our other projects”

Back to my original point, so far no country have cancelled their F-35 orders. Portugal didn't place an order in the first place. Canada might go the cancellation route in the next few months, but I very much doubt they will. So the only country that actually have a "cancelled" F-35 order is still Turkey. And on the contrary we would like to reorder them per officials.

Germany Doubles Down on F-35 Procurement
Minister of Defense Boris Pistorious shut down suggestions that Germany could reverse its decision to buy the F-35A Lightning II following recent tensions
Honestly people acting like Trump will fix america like some mastermind with some deep state support or whatever. He will act like most idiots and ruin US, there are some valid points some people raise about current establishment in US, but this guy is not an answer to any of it and giving such power to such unstable people will bring terrible days for everyone in the world. Buckle up for a dark era

It sounds great on paper but have heard anything about this since the war started? I don't think it is on the table anymore.We should produce Antonov An-178 and An-188 in Turkiye with Aselsan avionics and Western engines. They are beautiful cargo planes with outstanding performance. We can sign a deal similar to the T-129 Atak project. Instead of buying various platforms from different parties, we can support our own defense industry. We need a sizeable cargo fleet. Tanker or AWACS versions can also be developed as time passes. We can order a big number of planes, like 60, and take delivery in 10 years for maximum production line efficiency.

We won't be stuck with those. They are unarmed cargo planes. We will buy CFM leap engines like everyone else does. TEI has full maintenance and part production capability for LEAP engines.As long as we don't have an indigenous engine for these platforms then we're stuck. If we can develop and build an engine in Turkiye (from scratch) that can power e.g. CN235 then that would be a good starting point and we can proceed from there.
That's why our own engine projects are so important, but I wish we could progress faster and have some semi-serial production soon.
Wouldn’t make sense if we can buy transport aircraft development cost and time are to much to make it worthwhile and you can’t just turn a tf6000 into an worthy investment for cargo planes
If we use the same infrastructure for regional passenger aircraft, why not? Also, considering that the probability of these aircraft being exported is very high, I think it would be a valuable investment.
