Geliştirme Test Uçağı..

I think it's a term used for ground tests.

But Defence Turkey said that GTU-0 will perform the flight tests, so it is not really for ground tests i suppose

Tolga Özbek confirmed it as well

Where did you get that from? AFAIK it will.

Someone places a photo of KF21 and TFX side by side and what i look was kf 21 gun location that was visible while TFX dont have and i ask , someone from forum said will not have a gun of i remember correctly .

I remember that someone with a lot of knowledge confirmed that TFX will have a gun several months ago.

Malaysia, Pakistan, Indonesia since TAI has an office there? But Indonesia already has the KF-X.
Brazil because of the Brazilian companies' involvement?


Regardless: A customer is always more than welcome, a development partner might be a bit late, but who am I to judge.

Turkey needs more than just financial supporter, i think Malaysia is the most likely candidate, they can assist in electronics for sure, it the part that Turkey is lacking as of now.

I can bet that ASELSAN can best all of Malaysian avionics producers

This prototype probably won't have a gun (that is what Tolga Özbek said after the TUSAŞ visit). However, the final product will have it.

Pakistan seems to me to be the first country to come eagerly. It is much more important for Pakistan.

Probably no weapons, the visitors could not get a definite answer

We must remember that MMU will use F-110 for quite a long time. And remember that the USA blocked T-129 sales to Pakistan because of the engine. Pakistan and the USA's relationship did not get better meanwhile. Therefore, as long as MMU has an F-110, Pakistan can't get in.

Pakistan is at the brink of financial collapse (IMF bailout, Saudi money infusion, forex reserves at $4 billion only).

Pakistan to take fiscal measures set by IMF to meet budgetary targets

Pakistan will take fiscal measures set by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to meet its budgetary targets for the 2022-23 financial year, finance minister Ishaq Dar said on Wednesday.

Yep, Pakistan can not afford a 5th gen fighter let alone finance its development, they need the money on much more urgent needs right now like a possible war against taliban Afganistan.

Gun is for dogfight, T.Kotil said, MMU will not get into any dogfight.

Pay attention to the TF-X serial production date, and also the domestic engine date. The first blocks with F110 engines already will belong to Turkiye.

Pakistan's poor economy is nothing new. Turkiye's economy is not good either, but somehow it is progressing. In 5 years we don't know what will happen, relations between the US and Pakistan may improve...

My post was a praise

Ah it doesn't read like that because of "stinks" lol.

Gun is cost effective against some UAVs

Using 5. Gen fighter jets for hunting UAVs is not.
