Hoping to see TFX come into service before AMCA, Tempest, FCAS, and whatever Japan plans on building on their own. Turkey will get through the line fifth after Korea. If TFX has full internal bay/s and a proper stealth exterior, it would be the fourth nation to field a proper all aspect 5th gen fighter. Not sure how Russia's going with Su-57 wrt the engine blade blocking mechanisms they've designed for the Su-57.

It's quite surprising how much emphasis Turkey has placed on doing this despite being a considerably smaller nation and a smaller resource pool to draw from along with economic difficulties in recent times. What could the motivation be? Greece and their Rafales and F-35s?

Turkey has potential conflicts on every part of its border + plus internal ethnic and political diversions which could be exploited by outside actors. What really astonishes me is how quickly and proficient turkish engineers have become in this decade wrt to their MIC compared to other countries.

Small is relative, compared to its neighbours, it is quite a heavy weight economically (yes, because Greece Russia and Iran are burning dustbins at the moment the rest are either too small or have a civil war going on), science and population size wise.

Dude, you can start from the middle of this thread to read. Please don't come here and ask topics that we've talked already to death, there's no need to prolong the matter further.

What I believe we will see tomorrow is something like this. Basically the plane is in pieces and being put together slowly. Perhaps not in the robotized way as was the case with the KF-X.
