OK! Here comes the devil’s advocate:
1. Is it really true or just a fake news like many we have seen?
2. If it is true; Will Germany agree to supplying some of the critical parts of the engine and the plane, or agree to TOT of critical parts to Turkey?
3. If Germany doesn’t comply like the Saudi deal that was put to bed by UK, this too can be blocked. Unless of course all the parts to come from Germany are produced in Turkey and other countries in spite of Germany’s refusal with BAE and RR participation. (If such a thing can be done within the framework of EF2000 consortium agreement)
4. Airbus comment doesn’t sit well in this context as France is not a party to EF2000 Consortium.
