This is one of the happiest days of my life. It is one of the biggest steps taken for the full independence of my country. On this occasion, I would like to take this opportunity to say that I will never forget any institution or person who is working to discredit this project (exception of those who do not believe in it). It is one thing to trust or not the youth of my country, but they were also the ones who wished the project to fail.

One morning, that radiator turned into an aircraft, one of the most distinguished projects in world aviation.

That rear-radar house is really huge too. And loved the rivet details up-close. It is neat, the gap between river heads and top plate is even. It will be nice and stealth with a RAM paint-coating.

And this is the prototype production. With LRIP and FRP the quality will increase.

can we get a comparison between the f35, and TF-X? I remember that someone mentioned that tfx will be superior to f35 in some areas, but i cant find the information.

In my wildest imagination I couldn't imagine we'd get something like this today. No words to describe the moment I saw her the first time. She is the definition of love for me. 🥰 Something this large could be so gorgeous? Who knew.. Mad props to the engineers and the technicians and whoever contributed to the project. They deserve the very best of everything. They should be treated like rockstars.

Because of its rear radome, the TFX resembles late era Soviet aircraft. When that happens, the following question comes to my mind: Was one of the Soviet aircraft plans that went into production ready-made from Ukraine and updated in accordance with the needs of the 21st century? In this way, many workloads can be saved.

It would be a bit like apples and pears comparison of planes.
F35 of today is the most advanced plane to date as it is. But it is haunted with so many faults and shortcomings that it is detracting from it’s excellence.
Apart from the basic negatives of F35 we all know about, in terms of technical abilities, on paper, there is no match between F35 of today and what will fly with a domestic engine as MMU in 2028.
MMU/TFX is a twin engined plane. It is supposed to be powered by two 35000lbf engines with a total of 70000lbf thrust. F35’s single F135 engine had 39000lbf and the new upgraded version has a thrust of 43000lbf. TFX will have more computer power installed and should have all the avionic and sensor bells and whistles that F35 has and more. More importantly all the weapon systems of TFX will be indigenous and unknown entities as far a as the enemy side is concerned. It is much faster than F35. It can supercruise. It is supposed to be more agile.
TFX will also have a huge GaN based Aesa radar that should be much more effective than anything in use at the moment.
But F35 too is being upgraded in terms of sensors and computer power wise. A new GaN based Aesa radar is being prepared for it. Also it should have a groundbreaking variable cycle engine developing more than 45000lbf thrust.
But when compared to today’s F35 , TFX is going to be definitely superior.

No one can compete with f35 EW capabilities.

No, i am serious. I think the plans for a one of last fighter designed by the Soviets just before the dissolution were taken from Ukraine. These plans were adapted to the needs of the 21st century with the help of British and Ukrainian senior engineers. The decision not to put automatic cannons on the plane also helped design an airplane that was easy to manufacture and time saving.

Do you really hate Turkiye so much that you'd try to undermine her successes by making up bs claims?

The sh*tty USSR couldn't in a 100 years make a plane like the TF-X

Ahahah. No again. Think about it, how did we design and manufacture the MPT-76? We received the drawings of the AR-18 platform whose patent rights have expired. We have adapted them according to modern production techniques and the needs of the 21st century. Kale Kalıp company also handled the gas piston mechanism that MKEK had failed. In the TFX project, "Kale Kalıp = BAE". The thing is just that.
