That's what I meant by "worked with TAI almost 10 years ago", there is nothing to indicate that this proposal has anything to do with Hürjet or TAI, or, we get anything out of it whatsoever. It is completely unrelated on the face of it.
SNC originally began development of the Freedom design in cooperation with Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI, and also abbreviated TUSAS in Turkish), but has been working on it independently for some years now.
Aircraft will be built by TAI in Turkey and modified by Airbus in Spain. Deliveries will start in 2028 with first units being ready for 2029-30 training period.Spain is planning to buy up to 45 Hürjets. Not clear if some of it will be options or not.

Signing of final agreement for export to Spain is expected in end of September or in October.
30+ Hürjets will be exported.
There will be three phases.
First phase is that TAI will build like 15-20 Hürjets without any changes to avionics (turkish avionics).
Second phase will be that the rest will be build with spanish avionics (i think he means too that the planes will be build in spain).
Last phase is that the previously build Hürjets, from the first phase, will get spanish avionics too.
