no one knows how far along the engine is, whether it has already been tested or not
How could they do any testing when they haven't even built an engine yet? They haven't even finished testing TF6K yet (and that is years away), they haven't shown if they built TF10K (and that'll also require years of testing).

EF will add significant capability to our air force. Captor - E is likely stronger than Murad just by sheer power, plus added maturity. And it will be our twin engine superiority fighter in service until Kaan is operational and produced in large numbers ( IOC of initial deliveries 2031+, serial production likely much later). Modernized F16 with Murad in large numbers + EF should suffice our needs until 2035 more or less. Israeli and small number of Greek F35 will be a threat but likely manageable through other deterrents

President Erdoğan moments ago; "Milli muharip uçağımız KAAN'ı belirlediğimiz takvimde Hava Kuvvetlerimizin envanterine katacağız."

We will introduce our national fighter jet Kaan into our Air Forces' inventory in the timeframe we have determined.

He's just leaving "if everything goes well" unsaid.
Cause in case of delays there are enough excuses to use.
The fact is that there are no allies we can fully trust and our own power units are essential for all platforms.
We need to prioritise engine development.

According to statements from the CEO, we're at a good pace regarding engine development. We just need to keep going and not be deterred by anything.

He could very well say that but he unusually chose not to which makes his confidence in the matter very strong. Normally he would say "god willing" even in matters which seem certain to happen. Im a sure he is keeping close tabs on the progress of the works.

Erdoğan:
Milli muharip uçağımız KAAN'ı belirlediğimiz takvimde Hava Kuvvetlerimizin envanterine inşallah katacağız.

He does use the “godwilling”



@Zafer get your facts right please!

I copied and pasted from the online news piece, I didn't type myself, given the time difference good thing you watched the video and came up with the truth. I have been watching a live online event that I might have wanted to interact with in the last 90 minutes so I happened to fail to correct myself.
