How many years of effort it took? How much did it cost? If you want Europeans to integrate our systems they will give you a large bill, even if they accept it first.
Su-25 is somewhere between outdated to obsolete. Merhale-1 mod only added UBAS. Merhale-2 mod will include avionics upgrades which is still some years away and Su-25 is an aircraft TAI, Aselsan and Roketsan knows pretty intimately.
is it normal to make a "downpayment" before technical discussions ? I thought all that was sorted out before you make a downpayment."With the initial payment made for the supply of F-16 Block 70, the contracts have come into effect. Technical discussions continue with U.S. government officials and representatives of the manufacturing company regarding the procurement of the F-16 Block 70 aircraft."

So they're BS'ing as much as they're worth while omitting Letter of Acceptance ?
I simply don't believe that newspiece. LM didn't announce it for the stock exchange, neither did the US media. I think it's a mistranslation and this is not a done deal yet. Let's see.Already signed in June

Not necessarily foul play, but at the least, specifics are not yet decided upon. That means longer delivery schedule, which I think is our biggest problem right now.
As it was mentioned over the summer, current consensus seems to be lowered number of mod kits, likely to only cover 29 Block 50+s instead of 79.
Okeyyyy. So, are they decreasing number of mod kits to shorten the delivery time? Is that it?
Doubt it, that wouldn't have such an effect.
We need both Vipers and Typhoons. TurAF is underplaned currently.

I think this is a mistranslation and misinterpretation of his words and we are not any closer to the EF-2000 sale than we were a month ago with the start of preliminary technical talks. Let's wait a bit for some updates from outside. There still needs to be political approval from German government for the sale.Green light from Germany to Turkey for Eurofighter Typhoon!
Almanya'dan Türkiye'ye Eurofighter Typhoon için yeşil ışık | SavunmaSanayiST
Türkiye, Almanya’nın onayıyla 40 adet Eurofighter Typhoon savaş uçağı tedarikine bir adım daha yaklaştı. Türkiye’nin Typhoon tedarikindeki engeller kalktı.
Germany has given the green light for the sale of Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jets to Turkey. Thus, there is no obstacle left for Turkey to procure Typhoons.
Turkey has been aiming to procure 40 Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jets for a long time within the scope of the needs of the Turkish Air Force. The sale, approved by Eurofighter Consortium members Italy, Spain and England, was stuck in Germany’s unilateral embargo. Minister of National Defense Yaşar Güler announced that Germany has also approved the sale of Typhoons to Turkey.
In the statement made by Minister Güler on TV100, he said: “We will purchase 40 Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jets. Germany has been resisting for a long time not to give them, but finally, with the positive contributions of our NATO friends Italy, England and Spain, Germany has finally responded positively.”
According to the information received; Turkey has been in technical talks with the UK for some time regarding the procurement of Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jets. The Turkish Air Force plans to procure 20+20 of the latest generation configuration Typhoon aircraft. Thus, it is aimed to add 1 fleet of Typhoon aircraft to the Turkish Air Force inventory in the first phase and 2 fleets in the final phase.
