But what you're forgetting is the fact that the Bayraktar brothers are famous for publicly criticizing the development of a manned 5th gen fighter. Wherever they go and whenever they speak, they speak against current and future developments of manned fighter platforms saying "the future of...

Actually nothing has been made public yet, and @Oublious is just making an assumption based on speculations from other forums. Either way, a bright future lies ahead of our engine industry. P.S. We already know that TEI is going to be part of the development even if their offer is not chosen

That's ironic since it's been highly criticized for the very same reason among the Turkish defence circles for a long time.

Actually, it's the total opposite with Turkey. The percentage of GDP per year spend for defence has reduced drastically ever since AKP has risen to power and no major platform (such as modern tanks, F-16s, frigates, tanker or cargo aircraft, etc.) have been procured in the last -20 years. There...

Approximately how many aircraft does the PAF induct per year?

Yep, that thing is officially a "production development model", The first flight is expected in 2023 so even though they are incredibly fast compared to other firms and even though I fully expect them to begin the prototype assembly soon, there's still some time for that to happen.

What is intriguing to me...

There are some other points to correct in your post, however, this one took my attention the most: The company is called Baykar Tech, not Bayraktar. That's the name of their series of drones, e.g. Bayraktar TB-2 or Bayraktar Akıncı. I get why it might be confusing given how similar the names...

A more recent example of that would be Turkey, ironically a NATO country with shitty "allies" which try to undermine and marginalize her for the sake of their own political gains. And poor Ukraine still thinks the West will have their back in case of an escalation. What a shame.

In that sense, Turkey's Hava-SOJ project should be carefully observed. The program had ran into difficulties 1-2 years ago because the Canadian government embargoed the technical suüport from Bombardier on modification and integration of mission systems, but around the end of 2021 I remember...

The commander of the Turkish Naval Aviation Command had previously defined the need for a New Generation Long Range MPA. If interested, you can translate and read this thread on the matter:
