Not really related to topic, are our facilities, employees and centers well protected? Not only in peace times.

The MSB Arge turbofan engine looks like real engine not mockup or some plastic just for show , if u look closse u can see how real it looks ! And perhaps they build it fast because its reverse engenering of US engines like f110 and not design from strach like tf 35000 which will be the best and its lifespan alot better !

What puzzles me is this: Why do we need an additional engine with 42,000 lbf of thrust? The TEI TF 35000 will end up at 38,000–39,000 lbf in a few years anyway—it was no different with the F-110 129 and the F-110 132. Why develop a completely new engine just to gain an extra 3,000–4,000 lbf…? That doesn’t make sense to me. For it to make any sense at all, this engine would have to deliver 50,000 lbf right from the start.

Is he credible?

Mr. Ayhan, it's normal for you to have trouble believing it, but projects of this type aren't the kind that are explained step by step—you know that as well as I do...

No manufacturer in the world ever announces "this is the stage we're at today"...

But if you want clear information, for example, we personally finished the manufacturing of a test platform yesterday and delivered it...

In other words, many elements were completed long before they were explained—if you're curious, I'll be expecting you at SAHA Istanbul tomorrow...

Who has written this? The tweet is not opening

If they want to make turbines they should make ship engines, there is a high demand in the world for power turbines too because of AI datacenters which the existing powergrids can not support.

Looks already deleted but i saw this tweet few minutes ago.

Firstly no, many engine builders actually do present their projects. Literally noone else ever goes to an industry fair and says "oh we made this in our free time, it's quite literally the second most powerful fighter jet engine ever built." Noone buys this. Any person with a modicum of knowledge on the matter simply calls it bs if they are a foreigner or goes out of their way to not call it bs if they are Turkish. Because kids will go angry when you call this stuff bullshit, because the MoD himself wouldn't lie.

What's shown is not an engine. It looks like an engine, but it isn't. Lack of test footage also corroborates the same. There's no second team working on a 42K engine behind the veil. Making a 35K engine is hard as it is and it's taking years of our time and millions. There's no need for this bullshit. It simply only damages our reputation.

Whoever is spouting all these are hacks, they are liars, working to line their own pockets. They are basically traitors to this country. All this is a sham, lie. I simply hope that this is not a sign of what's to come for this industry. If it is, we are fucked. No ifs, no buts. This is nothing less than spitting on the faces of tens of thousands of people working on this industry, trying to build actual, real things.

Some accounts claim this engine is basically a copy of F110 as a backup plan for KAAN's initial batch. Like we have to pay hefty penalty, because no licence but at least KAAN can fly.
THIS IS NOT MY OPINION.
We can make the TF35k engine with better quality in that same time-frame.

Question… How likely is it that this is an attempt to pressure the U.S. and GE into supplying the first batches of the TAI KAAN with F-110 engines?
If it is merely a cheap copy with a shorter service life of 1,000 to 2,000 operating hours, it would serve its purpose until the TF-35000 is ready—assuming the engine is actually seriously real.

As you know, diplomacy often relies on symbolism and presentations to convey a message.
