Probably it is the first time we saw Ismail Demir unable to hold back his tears.

So if it happens in the next days.

the assembly line was a surprise for me. It looks pretty professional. Turks are really revolutionizing their defense industry, but as far as I can see, there is a line of 2 jets.. is it enough for you?

People easily forget that TAI has been building F-16s and TEI buildings its engines under license for decades.
The capabilities are definitely there we just lack the IP rights and only solution for that is going indigenous.

Surprisingly, many people on Twitter from various countries are saying that Pakistan is part of the project. @MADDOG can you confirm it ? Is there a true and clear statement from someone working at TAI ?

Thats being claimed for every single project lately, i dont know how people come up with these rumors.

I think, this is because of a report that was published in February this year.
even though TAI later officially refuted it but it wanst covered very widely.

You just gotta think logically, if Pakistan becomes part of it it would mean China will know everything about it down to the last screw.
This would automatically eliminate any critical part from western companies or their participation in the project.
Thats something that Turkey wont sacrifice at any cost.

Ok, i just read that that would compromise on stealthyness of the plane, i guess it has something to do with the exhaust gasses of the F110 engine?

I said it a million times that Ismail Demir is the best SSB director that ever came and is such ppl only comes once every decade

I honestly love Ismail Demir, Hakan Fidan, and Mustafa Varank; I also think that Akar and Fahrettin Altun in general arent bad

No offense,
but i think, your understanding of Pakistan-china relation dynamic is not very realistic.

Didn't TAI receive some sort of certification from Boeing for its extraordinary QM and QC?

In Turkey, they showed the assembly of the first prototype of the fifth generation fighter TF-X. The assembly of the prototype is scheduled to be completed on March 18, 2023. Earlier, the model of the aircraft was demonstrated at the 53rd Paris Aviation and Space Salon in Le Bourget. The new aircraft is intended for deliveries to the Turkish Armed Forces and should replace the American F-16. The length of the aircraft will be 21 meters, the wingspan will be 14 meters. The TFX fighter will receive two American General Electric F110 engines, later new Turkish engineers will be installed on it. A radar station with an active phased array antenna for the TF-X will be created by the Turkish company ASELSAN.

TF-X is air superiority fighter, the replacement of F-16 multirole are Hürjet.

How an IRST and EOTS on fighters can be effective as Sniper or smiler huge pods?
