Did FNSS mention anything of Kaplan MT in Saha Expo?
If the serial production of the first batch is on the line, first unit should have been out of the production line by now, or at least it was going to be mentioned by CEO in the Expo.

In such kind of deals the "middle" man usually gets a cut. IMO this kind of dealings domestically add unnecessary cost.

e.g. TAF get TB2 and also signs deal with Baykar to deliver MAM instead of having Roketsan deliver it directly. Thus incurring additional expenses that could have been avoided.
Exactly, It is for Baykar to make money!!
Roketsan and Aselsan will produce staff but Baykara will sell it!! Why these companies sign deals with Baykar?? They do sign with TUSAŞ ,or any other platformorm producers like FNSS??

Turkey is exporting MAM-C and MAM-L primarily with TB2
Im asking because i saw a photo of tb2 in moroccan sahara bombing polisario, and the damage was not very massive. Probably mam C i guess

Turkish defence industry firms should boost up their law departments and security protocols on the export meetings.

There have been losses, at least on 2 big export chances that were on the stage of financial planning, and most matters were agreed on the technical part. Some well-known western companies have jumped in both, started negotiations right from where Turkish company was carrying on and bagged the deal in the end, knowing exactly what Turkish has offered, and could offer in the next stage. They have completed the deal in two weeks, which Turkey has spent 2 months including the technical and financial planning from scratch.

Either some export partners are not up to the security protocols or the initial agreements on confidentiality, or there are some leaks from the Turkish companies, not related to technical but financial matters.

Thus the lawyer departments should beef up. First to stop some clever customers using Turkish companies as levarage to get more from west, then to stop them sharing those documents with confidentiality with the others.

Sounds so fishy that I'm guessing it's an european country. Perhaps encrypted documents and encrypted digital platform should be used.

Malaysian LCA Tender requirements:
  • 8 aircraft advanced jet trainer
  • 10 aircraft combat aircraft with nose radar and BVR
  • Supersonic speed
  • BVR capability
  • %30 local production
  • Cost: 4 billion RM- 2 billion RM will ve paid via oil product trade
  • Schedule: 35 months after the contract

Contenders:
  • Russia Mig-35: Expensive chioce, costly maintenance. Malaysia had cancelled the similar tender in 2018 due to lack of funds.
  • India LCA: Rumoured that Mk1 has a unit cost around 60 million $. Indian and Russian solutions met the Malaysian requirements but both are expensive solutions. Since Malaysia wants to pay the half of the money via oil trade, The costs become more important in this tender.
  • Turkey Hürjet: Hürjet met all requirements of Malaysian LCA tender on paper (supersonic speeds, BVR, nose radar, combat missions, trainer aircraft) but the aircraft is in prototype production phase so TAI wants Malaysia to participate the production. In fact Signature+36 months: end of 2025 and This date matchs with Hurjet development schedule and so I believe Hürjet is the strongest candidate in this tender
  • China L15: This aircraft is supersonic. Armed variant is for combat missions and this aircraft is using AI-222 turbofan. The US could put pressure on Ukraine and hinder the sale of engines as they did in past and this may frighten the customer but aircraft is a strong candidate in Malaysian tender.
  • Korea F50: This aircraft among all is very strong candidate but F50 has neither nose radar nor the ability to launch a BVR missile. Korea is selling the T50 as a combat variant for air-ground missions.
  • Italy M346: this aircraft can barely reach supersonic speeds and was not developed for the BVR mission. It may be an excellent jet trainer, but it remains a simple competitor in the armed version, considering Malaysian demands.
They want probe and drogue AAR capability. The guy who prepared the bid document said that Malaysians only wanted WVR capability. He also said that TUSAS's calender with Hürjet prototyping and serial production is missing Malaysian requirements with a couple of months. So they are offering higher Malaysian contribution and lower costs to make it up.

What do they exactly mean when they said they want "malaysia to participate in the production"?
