They have overshadowed and ruined a very good expo, ….

Here is one of my favorites from SAHA 26, among many others.

Remember how we were talking about Japanese delegation visiting Baykar while back and they were saying that they were “learning” from us! Also how they were seriously considering TB-2 and TB-3! All those followed up by this, we should be talking and speculating about this and maybe declaring a forum holiday or something.

And yet, look where they’ve rolled us down now, the bottom of a **** hole.

Literally, delinin biri kuyuya bir taş attı, and you know the rest.

Seems my theory is somewhat real. It's an f110 clone, or it's an honest to god f110.

There was some chatter on the forum about our lack of engines and how we would get over it if Americans imposed an embargo. I remember people saying unlicensed f110 production would be beyond the pale. This "Güçhan" (cringe name btw) might well be the answer. Even if this particular engine is not a Turkish production (meaning a complete sham), this is basically us declaring our intent to put an f110 clone in KAAN. And let's be real, I have complete trust in TEI, TRmotor and other companies to be able to actually clone an f110 in 2 years tops.

I'm gonna be a little controversial and say we can produce a complete F-16 from scratch right now and if a US embargo happens, there is no real reason we shouldn't.

I also believe that the Güçhan 42000 is likely a rebranded F-110 engine, assembled through global MRO channels using overhauls, spare parts and proprietary components (e.g. the cold section) – a ‘Frankenstein’ engine.
The whole display at SAHA 2026 serves only to demonstrate that this is a new engine; thus, the burden of proof lies with the US to show that it is an F-110 in a different casing.
But without access to the engine, they would have to file a lawsuit in a Turkish court to gain access to the engine and prove patent and licence infringements – a process likely to take years; thus, with the TF-35000, TEI theoretically had enough time to bring the engine into series production by 2032+ to replace the Güçhan.

If you guys don't understand what a "theory" is, don't try to theorize anything.

Oh, that's a Lycoming T53. I think someone is trying to replace Görgün as R&D chief and SSB as main coordinator for R&D. No other way to see this.
