The first prototype of our National Combat Aircraft (MMU) will reach the assembly phase by the end of this year.

TAI head Temel Kotil stated that the MMU engine will work in 2022. If assembly is to begin at the end of 2022, it will be very difficult to complete the production of the prototype within this year.

There is an error in one of these two posts.

The production of TFX only needs to be completed before 18 March 2023 when it is planned to roll out of the hanger for show. The statement "the TFX engine will work in 2022" (which I had not heard before) should mean a static run of the engine installed on the plane at best (as opposed to an uninstalled test run).

TF-23 / Anadolu Kartalı
Turkish Fighter 2023 (an English name marking first roll out year) / Andolu Kartalı (eagle) (name Ana+dolu / mother+full/filled , derived from Anatolia)
"Anadolu sözcüğü Yunanca doğu veya gündoğumu anlamına gelen Ανατολή sözcüğünden türemiştir"

TM-25 / Zafer (victory)
Türk Muharip (warrior/warring) 2025 (Turkish name marking year of first flight)

Year 2023 predates year 2025 giving 23 as a name makes the plane look older than it actually is.

We shouldn't give it an Arabic name.

Hear me out: TF-23 Konrul.

From Wikipedia:
"In Turkic mythology, Konrul, also Kongrul and Konqrul (Azeri: Qonrul, قنرل, Гонрул) is a long-lived bird that is cyclically regenerated or reborn, similar to a phoenix."
