no its not that easy

 

[Quasar]

in fact we already initiated a program TFX or its better to say indigenous fighter jet ( it is in conceptional design phase) but sure its not something like this

 

[silko]

Quasar, you probably dont know. but what is Norway contributing in this with...

 

[Quasar]

unfortunately I dont know anything specific about it except the fact that they are Level 3 partner like us and they decided to develop a new missile, the Joint Strike Missile, JSM, which can be carried externally and internally in the bomb bay of the F-35 like our SOM but sure you know it already! sorry silko!

My point was building parts of F-35 does not mean you people can build a 5 generation AC. Still plenty of research is needed (which you guys are capable of)

 

[Quasar]

thanks brother! yes I got your point! which is off course true!

 

[Zabaniyah]

Beautiful!

Impressive. Turkish industries are smart; they have the political will and the technical know-how to make hi-tech stuff. Shouldn't take them more than a few more years to come up with their own development as well.

It is only workshare of TAI as a second source of this section after Northrop Grumman. As you see with other image that There are lots of other Turkish institutes manufacturing parts for F-35's. Only 7 Turkish institutes grabed more than 7 billion $ workshare for 100 F-35 Turkey is going to order...
