Years is very open ended. 2 to 9 years qualify the statement you’ve made.It’s normal alright to first try it under the wings with time it will get better it will take years until Kizilelma is combat ready same with anka
If they allocate the right resources, Anka3 will definitely be ready in under 3 years, if not quicker. The only parameter that will hold it back is the TF6000.
KE should follow Anka3 once the TF10000 is ready.
So in reality the ball is in TEI’s court. The quicker they provide the engines the quicker these planes can be operational.
Although these are the first trials to see if the planes can perform as envisaged by the designers, and these firings are governed by the Circular Error Probable laws; Tolun hitting the bulls eye in it’s first Anka3 IWB firing is very heartening. Well done to all Tusas engineers!
