We have a saying, burnu biraz sürtülsün. Which means it's time to get down from that high horse.

Like @Yasar_TR said he's fortunate to have right connections.

He has truly boo-booed big time here.
Mixed up cost of manufacture with cost of buying whilst exaggerating out of proportions to make a point.

@TheInsider has made it clear in his posts as well.

The guy is a genius in his field. He has the good luck of being well connected. He should know better to rein in his salesmanship impulses.

The KE is the future of air combat. But with a turbofan jet engine, a state of the art Murad Aesa radar and avionics, plus munitions that are suitable for such a platform and ground control units, it’s cost to prospective buyers is not going to be too far off most manned aircrafts like JF17 and baseline f16. One mustn’t forget the fact that good capable ground operators/pilots are also needed for these.

Yes by his logic the KE would cost $80 million devided by 20 which is $4 million a piece and what makes it cheaper then the TB-2 at $5 millon a piece.
Acting like its done without having a NATO standard engine is also a ridiculous claim.
But why not,if they eat it just feed them more.

Selçuk Bayraktar is talking about when fighter jets are offered to some buyers at premium prices like the ones custom made for the UAE. In those cases the prices go up exponentially. He should tone down his narrative to the perception capability of the audience who mixes up hypothetical talk with reality.

Ig you didn't read the thread.

He didn't say that

He said Kızılelma will be 5-10 times cheaper than manned fighter jets.

Later Fulya forced him on the topic and he said "I can't say if it will be 20 times cheaper. Fighter jets aren't sold for fixed prices. It can be 20-30 times cheaper if you count all (referring to the Eurofighter/Rafale sales with a price tag of up to 300 million euros per jet when all spare parts and others added)"

It's not the exact conversation. I translated with what's left in my mind from last night but that was what he said. He said 5-10 times cheaper than 5th gen manned fighters. When he said 20-30 times was after Fulya asked him if it will be 20 times cheaper than F-16.

So it's not Selçuk's fault but media's.
