Pakistan has at least one very valuable asset

Pakistan is not our brother but we have a close friendship from history.

I mean, no matter what policy is implemented Turkish defence industry always will be the biggest contributor to its National security.
However, given the size of Turkish economy if it does not export its high value products and generate greater revenue, the industry (considering the range of its ambitious projects and the size of its expansion) would become a financial burden on the economy.
Also, if Turkish defence industry doesn’t sell its high value products somebody will fill the gap anyway. ( given there are emerging alternative sources outside West like SK, Japan or India) So why miss out a lucrative share of weapon sells when you can have it easily.
But more importantly, cooperation on defence is a very solid way to advance geopolitical interest and make strategic partners. For example, we could look at India and Israel and how their bilateral ties evolved overtime.

Don’t be ridiculous. They tested a 10kt in the 90s. Today they have one of the most evolved nuclear weapons program after the U.S. and Russia.
There is a ban on nuclear testing, thus no country is (except NK) actually testing their nukes anymore. However, once you’ve detonated one successfully, you pretty much have the tech to make larger and larger nukes

do you think Pakistan can give a nuclear warhead to be used in Gezgin or balistic missiles in return for cooperation in MMU?

Cooperation on MMU will be either financially or a joint production of non-critical parts. Regarding nukes, Turkiye is very much capable to develops it by it’s own, problem is that we are not investing into it, at least officially.

Regarding Nuclear Warheads, there are couple of points that need to be remembered when discussing them.
“Nuclear” is a big umbrella which covers a number of different technologies.
As the weapons go there are :
1. Atom Bomb (like the ones detonated in Japan)
2. Hydrogen Bomb.
An atomic bomb is a fission bomb. This is where uranium atoms are split. As a result you get a huge release of nuclear energy.
A hydrogen bomb explosion or thermonuclear explosion occurs when you fuse two hydrogen atoms and as a result you get much higher amounts of energy being released.
In order to detonate a thermonuclear bomb, large enough energy such that is released during a fission bomb is needed. So a hydrogen bomb is composed of an atom bomb that pushes hydrogen atoms together to fuse them. Hence releasing devastating amounts of thermonuclear energy.
Earlier bombs made by China , India, Pakistan, Israel and N Korea were all Atom bombs. Gradually one by one, they all managed to obtain the technology to detonate thermonuclear bombs.
The trick lies in the manufacturing expertise of a small enough bomb to fit in to a missile’s warhead to facilitate easy delivery.
As delivery systems go; the MIRV (multiple independently-targetable re entry vehicle) technology is the way to go to achieve best and most effective target acquisition. Apart from Russia, US, Britain and France , it is believed that China has acquired this technology too. India with Agni-VI is developing this technology too.
This is an expensive and controversial technology to develop as a whole.
Should we have it? Definitely!
How and without causing international uproar is the tricky part.
Trading MMU for nuclear tech access is one easy way to jump to the front of the queue.

Some hard facts to swallow for you.
Who do you think would come to our help in a war time situation?
Dont say Azerbaijan cause it cant.
Do you remember when we lacked pilots for our F-16's?
No matter in what situation,if Pakistan can Pakistan will come.
Its not about the state pakistan but the people of Pakistan.
Even if its a satelite state of China,KSA or whomever,the people will make sure Pakistan comes to our help if needed.
So,dont talk bs,its not up to you who we can call ''brother'' or not.

I don't think it's people hating Pakistan, more pointing out that it is a very unstable nation and Turkey shouldn't rely on them too much for critical cooperation. I personally wish the people of Pakistan to succeed in making their country a better place and genuinely sympathize with the good, upstanding citizens of that country but that's not a reason to ignore the dangers from tying oneself too closely with them.
If the government decide to buy 5th generation jet and turkey not willing to sell to malaysia then we will buy from south korea.
In fact during LIMA,korean defense minister is offering their latest jet kf 21 or future 5th generation jet to malaysia.
Luckily,Turkiye is not run by people like you .
Furthermore why so much hate toward pakistani.
In fact in this forum i saw all love from pakistani toward turkish people.
In fact Pakustan is buying a lot of defense product from turkiye which is very good for export..

Personally i hope Turkiye is hyper aggressive in how they market and sell these things, would be great to see other nations join us on the TFX. Even create partner nations so when it comes to 6th gen the costs are shared out and the benefits are reaped by all.
Turkiye has to be "other" option, where its win/win. None of this manipulation bullshit that you get from the USA/Europe when it comes to weapons. We use German tanks against PKK, they place engine embargoes on us. That shit needs to end and Turkiye is on the right path to end the blackmail politics of western arms deals.
The main reason we had to go indigenous was to break to influence and control the americans and certain european nations have over us by threatening military embargoes. If half the world is brought up to modern fighter jet standards thank to Turkish tech transfers, that's fine and maybe even better for us long term. Because should we ever fall behind maybe other nations outside the west could fill the gap for us in a similar way to how korea has done for us.
Actually its a good thing to have many friends or ally.
Even the mighty US prefer having many friends with them not only for political but also economically too.
