Different programs.


This timeline is only correct in the minds of propagandists.

This timeline becomes plan A when the 110 engines fail to arrive.

If the TF-10000 is massively delayed, wouldnt that delay the TF-35000 as well?
As far as I remember, TEI planned to have the TF-35000 working by the end of 2028 and incorporate it into KAAN by the end of 2029/early 2030 for 2 years of testing following the official delivery by 2032

Not necessarily. TEI has a limited pool of engineers to run all those projects, and engineers are allocated to certain tasks from that pool. Let's assume you need 200 engineers to hit the timeline targets of TF-10000, but you can only allocate 20 engineers from the pool due to the ambitious timeline and needs of the TF-35000 project. This is what happened to the TF-6k/10k project. TEI redirected a lot of engineers to the TF-35000 project, which slowed down, especially TF-10000. TF-6000 was nearly done when engineers redirected to the TF-35000 project, but TF-6000 will also see delays because the work on iterative prototypes might slow down. Limited resources, overlapping priorities.

Material realities don't care about plans. We saw the first instances of 2035 being iterated by reporters yesterday.

Will you point to some web resources for such reporting or not.

Today is 9th, was ther a congres men crying about the sanction?

 

[Angry Turk !!!]

That's why I said that Türkiye needs to buy more than 80. We simply do not know when TF35K will be ready for use.

40 aircraft for B10-20 are more than enough. We still have 230+ F-16s, upcoming 3 squadrons worth of EFs; as well as KEs and Anka-3. We should remember that F110 is not enough for the actual Kaan we want to build. B10 and B20 are interim solutions.

Is there actually any new information about the 80 F-110 engines, or was it all just lukewarm fart... aaah air from Trump.

It was announced by the state department it’s a real contract under FMS

There not being any new information is exactly what we want. The Congress was notified about the sale and they had 15 days to block it. No news means everything going as intented

Thank you for the link but I don't find it credible. The only explanation to why it can be delayed so much is supply chain problems finding some of the materials in smaller quantities rather than large but this can be remedied by employing alternative methods of making using different technologies. The quality variations should be tolerable.
