Turks think they have the money for this

Secrecy my ass. You can't export shit without OEM's go ahead. Like you couldn't ship AW helis and engines, and F-16 upgrades were blocked by US. A few basic drones sure because Motor Sich is not in a position to care about where the engines end up. You keep adding stickers to stuff and insist...

Might wanna take a gander at Farnborough, Hampshire.

I suspect they might be importing Titanium composites from a German company HWN Titan.

Indigenous my ass. Kopin Corporation of USA is supplying the high quality AMLCD microdisplay and the HUD software package for this helmet, which itself looks like a downgraded fork of the F-35's helmet. R&D work subcontracted to Collins Aerospace. Package put together by BAE it looks like, since...

They suffer from bipolar disorder. First they went through all that trouble to buy S-400 and establish a good relationship with Russia. Souring relations with US in the process and getting kicked from the JSF program. Then they did a total 180 and started supplying drones to Ukraine from past...

Indigenous my ass. That's a Black Shark heavyweight torpedo made by Leonardo. Even the direct-drive brushless motor is imported in. Another sticker job.

TEI has developed jack. Motor Sich of Ukraine has.

Their tin can "fifth gen" fighter won't even take off if the sale of "planned" sensors to Turkey is embargoed. They are busy fiddling with stuff they could buy and trying to make them work. The engine troubles are understandable but many of the core sensors they haven't actually developed. They...

Your entire claim of indigenous weapons is ground for heavy speculation. It's no secret Turkey heavily enlists expertise from European defense firms, outright recruiting and purchasing parts off the market. Coping Mechanism ? don't make me laugh. Might learn something ? first learn to stop...

The hurjet ? It took you this long to make a fighter trainer India developed 20 years ago, and that too with off the shelf electronics, avionics equipment and instruments sourced from EU. Half of TAI's R&D team is manned by former engineers from BAE, Panavia and Leonardo. You haven't developed...

It's interesting how Turkey continues to use off the shelf critical components from EU, hire European engineers to design their hardware, hire Europeans to then certify their hardware, sign JVs to rebrand European weapons as theirs with a half moon sticker. And then argue tooth and nail and brag...

Oh yea it's not the TFX. Can't even tell the difference :facepalm:

F110-GE-129

TAI Kaan. Translates roughly to "king of kings".

AFAIK That's the full size product.
