I think what Mr Tayfun Erdil wanted to say is England's Procurement Slot will be given to Turkey for quicker delivery. I dont think the entire production line will be opened in Tusas for Eurofighter. Lets wait and see.

Exactly, why would England be okay with transfering their production line to Türkiye and lose thousands of jobs?I think what Mr Tayfun Erdil wanted to say is England's Procurement Slot will be given to Turkey for quicker delivery.

This is the most possible outcome, i've been very baffled at how people can believe anything that is thrown at them.Exactly, why would England be okay with transfering their production line to Türkiye and lose thousands of jobs?
Also you can't just open a line in another country, all members of the consortium need vote for it.
Erdil is talking about England shifting its own place in the production line over to Türkiye so TAF does not have to wait until the end of this decade for its EF.
Üstad, Should we expect a development regarding the Hürjet EJ200 integration that we have seen on social media lately?There are rumors that Turkiye is expected to sign a contract worth 12 billion £ (14.45 billion €) for 20 Eurofighter Tranche 4+20 Eurofighter Tranche 5 (optional). Deliveries are expected to begin in 2027. There is also a separate weapons package worth 2.5 billion euros if all options of the weapons package are exercised.
40 Eurofighter Tranche 4/5+ weapons= ~17billion euros
40 F-16 block 70+weapons=~7 billions euros
The EJ200-laden Hurjet should also have preliminary measures for stealth-optimized geometry and naval use for competentcy in the 4.5 gen fighter jet space.Üstad, Should we expect a development regarding the Hürjet EJ200 integration that we have seen on social media lately?
We know that it was one of the engines evaluated in the past years when the Hurjet was still in the design phase, but for one reason or another, the project continued with the F404. Although there are many questions such as whether there is such a demand, or even if there is, which buyer will bear the cost of these development and integration studies; The inclusion of the EJ200 in the engine configuration options of the Hürjet could bring the project to the forefront more for the EF user air forces' LIFT needs, and with the better thrust-to-weight ratio to be provided, the Hürjet could be transformed into a platform that can meet the combat jet needs of many small-to-medium sized air forces in the world by providing a light attack capability that can be fully equivalent to the Gripen etc.
I've been coming across a lot of discussions lately, but for example the following ones are a bit more interesting.
Some British defense aviation enthusiasts are questioning how the Hurjet with if have british engine and some british avionics, can meet the needs of the UK's Royal air force in this area and where the Hürjet stands compared to other systems on the market.
Although I am not familiar with the details, I believe that Spain's ultimate goal is to have a configuration flexibility on the Hürjet that is incomparable to other aircraft in the tender. I think this can be one of the biggest advantage of the Hürjet over competing systems.
Wow! That's fvckin huge!![]()

Çok şükürkuş, finally
Well here is Hürküs-II for all the people who wanted to see it.

Slowly moving forward.I don't think France would okay selling Meteor AAM to Turkey, but let's see.
Airbus officially offered C-295 to gendarme. JnGK currently does not operate fixed wing cargo aircraft. CN235 is no longer in production so this probably would be the next cheapest option for JnGK."The CN235s in the inventory are very worn out and have spare parts and sustainment problems. Some of them will undergo avionic modernization, some of them will be decommissioned in the future, perhaps they will be sold, and if the budget is available, they will be replaced by an estimated 20-25 new production C295 or C-27J aircraft. Of course, this will be realized on a 10-year timetable. In the first phase, 10 C-130Js are expected to be delivered between 2025 and 2027..."

But wouldn't it be okay, if SOM-J was integratable with the Typhoon. I know we developed one for F35, but since that was the case US/west would already know enough about it to not worry about keeping it a secret. As such I think being able to use SOM-J on it would still be a win for us.Slowly moving forward.
"Ankara seems to be making the release of the Meteor medium-range air-to -air missiles a condition for acquiring the Eurofighter Typhoon fighters , and according to the French newspaper La Tribune, this development is expected to test relations between Athens and Paris . For several months, Turkey has been looking for an “antidote” to the Greek Rafale and is now closer than ever to buying the EF-2000 fighter jets manufactured in Europe. Like the Rafale, the Eurofighters are certified to carry powerful air superiority weapons , such as the Meteor missile, the export of which requires a license from France.
After consultations that lasted almost two years, Turkey seems to have managed to overcome the resistance of Berlin, which had placed an embargo on the sale of the EF-2000 , and having secured the green light from London , Madrid and Rome , it can proceed with the acquisition of 40 4.5 generation Eurofighter Typhoon fighter aircraft . The European fighter is manufactured by a consortium of British, German and Italian companies and its sale requires a special license from all three countries.
However, to compete with the Greek Rafale, the Eurofighter needs the Meteor missile, which is manufactured by MBDA, a joint venture involving France, Britain and Italy. As with the platform (Eurofighter Typhoon), so with the weapon (Meteor), its export requires the consent of all members of the joint venture. And while the approval of London and Rome is considered a given by Ankara, Paris seems to be "weighing" its moves in view of the impact that the possible sale of the weapon will have on Greek-French relations, which are governed by the mutual defense cooperation agreement signed by the two sides in 2021.
At present, it is not known whether Paris will bow to London's pressure to release the missile in order to proceed with the sale of 40 Eurofighters to Turkey, an initiative "led" by Britain. However, Turkish publications reported a few days ago that British officials managed to convince their French counterparts, securing permission to export the Meteor to Turkey, although there is still no official position. In late December, however, British Eurofighters landed in Ankara to be inspected by Turkish air force units. "

I may be looking at it through rose-colored glasses, but I believe that the facilities, which were established under the same name and at the same location as Tayyare ve Motor Türk Anonim Şirketi (TOMTAŞ) with the partnership of TAI, ASFAT and Erciyes Teknopark, and 40% of which will later offered to the public, can increase their technical and production capacity to the optimum level in the fastest way possible with this type of project. There is an enthusiasm and high aspiration among Kayseri's industrialists, which is not only limited to SMEs and Technopark, but also extends to the creation of an Aviation and Space Sciences High School in Kayseri as a source of technical personnel. The company will participate in the production of the Hürjet in the first phase, but if the company is offered to the public together with the tactical transport aircraft program, which will be assembled and tested here with a flexible license agreement, for example, it will not have a problem with investment capital.Airbus officially offered C-295 to gendarme.

"By talking to market actors, we are trying to direct our efforts to combine their vision for aviation with the vision of 'Çelik Kanatlar'. In this context, we develop and commercialize the auxiliary equipment needed, and transfer the resources obtained back to the gendarmerie. The work with Airbus is part of this vision. The Gendarmerie needs aircraft developed by Airbus. We are here to find the most cost-effective solution by discussing the commercial activities here with the stakeholders as much as possible, in line with the traditions of the state, within the order-command order."
