Turns out DeltaV has been working on a ramjet engine too, joining Roketsan and Tübitak SAGE.

Turkey Military News, Reports, Data, etc.
- Thread starter Jeff Head
- Start date
The first bold sentence is very peculiar; according to official schedule, TuAF is supposed to induct the first jets in 2027, not 2026 (unless trainers are scheduled for 2027 while the demo jets are sch. for 2026?).
(AA is the state-run news agency of Turkey)
it's certainly a bit tight, don't know if >300 sorties (~500 by then) is enough to qualify the jet for service entry...

Jokes aside, the next step is the IWB-certification and especially the integration of TEI-TF10000. Congratulations to Baykar and Aselsan...
(Notice the changed IWB-door design...More prominent sawtooths!)

Baykar is also working on SMR:
Goodluck to them!

I forgot about this.
The AEW-radar that Aselsan is going to deliver in 2030 is apparently going to replace the MESA on E-7Ts. That means a form-fit, which would hint at an indigenous E-7T-lookalike if produced further.
(Though the report is quite sloppy and only hints at integration on TuAF's AEW&Cs, which are all E-7Ts. Nonetheless, they do have legit contact with people inside as proven quite recently!)
-------------------
Turkey has already replaced the ESM (with Aselsan's ARES 2-A), the consoles and added national T-Link. Reportedly, the only missing link to a fully indigenous AEW&C is the radar.

Anıl Şahin (the same guy above), who said the night before this test footage was released that he would shut down his website if the MQ-28 launched a BVR before Kızılelma, said this right after the news got out:
Very different things will happen in January. Let me drop a fresh bomb on top of the bomb
