They can pay
If they can't get F-35's in this Trump administration, they will undoubtedly look for another 5th gen fighter.
Let that be Kaan
They won't use Kaan to attack Turkish forces
Sudan is not the only place we've come face to face. Still governments keep accelerating the cooperation. I don't question our relations with UAE. Not anymore. They can.. just buy... don't question.
They are doing what they are doing under cover. It is better them than someone else; we can deal with them better than we can deal with a high tech player.

Turkey signed an actual deal with the US to buy F-16B70 and nothing has become of it so far. I would expect even less from a MOU for an aircraft that is still in its development phase.

They used Cirits to attack Turkish proxies in Libya and Roketsan supplied MLRS in Sudan. When they need it, they will.
They won't use Kaan to attack Turkish forces.

Kaan is a $150mn, 20.3m long smart device, he knows what he is doing and he won't betray Türkiye. UAE can only use it in defensive operations.

TBF the F16 Deal stalling is more on us than the americans. If we wanted the deal would be finalized tomorrow.

Both are MoUs, which are again statements of interest, none of it are legally binding contracts. There's no payment for the aircraft, there's no official documentation.

Best of luck to us all.

KAAN will be the backbone and the Future of Turkish Air force. No need for big words but I dont think we will face much difficulty in finding satisfactory amount of customers. Another advantage will be Unlike most 5 gens, KAAN will be a progressive platform i.e KAAN will develope gradually and in stages.
The „problem“ will not be the quality, but maybe the price.

Editor-in-Chief of TURDEF, Özgür Ekşi, commented on recent developments such as the export of Kaan to Indonesia and the export of the Atmaca missile to the same country.

As I said before, sensors of Kaan will be ready in time for the second prototype of Kaan. Murad-600, Toygun, Karat, IVDL and Tulgar will be integrated on the Kaan prototype in 2026.
That means Kizilelma and anka real serial production will have them next year together with tf6000

TF6000 won't be ready for a 2 or 3 more years. You can't just rush ground and aerial testing of an engine and put it into serial production. As far as proper testing go, TF6000 has just began a very long road AND the same road will have to be walked again with TF10000.

I said it here yesterday or the day before and I say it again: beware dealing with Indonesia. Indonesia cannot be trusted.

South Korea and Jakarta have reached an agreement to reboot their cooperation in the KF-21 fighter programme, as the Southeast Asian nation downplays the firmness of an agreement to obtain 48 Turkish Aerospace (TAI) Kaan fighters.

According to Seoul’s Defense Acquisition Program Administration, officials from both countries have confirmed an arrangement that sharply reduces Jakarta’s financial commitment in the programme.

Sad for the KAAN programme.
