TUSAS is making a turkish turbo-shaft engine for helos.
Letting French in would be like letting NATO sabotage the whole deal.

Perhaps I wasn't clear in my post, so in the spirit of clarity and having meaningful discussion, I will explain it in better words. I didn't imply that what you said was "horse-shit," rather the information source is dubious, unreliable and excuse my french ... full of shit. The BBC is a master at churning out twisted and deceptive misinformation. They have a history to prove their sparkling accolades for deceiving the world.
Britain had no power at the time to unilaterally nuke Argentina. For starters, America wouldn't have allowed it. As bruised as their egos might get, that is a fact and there is no arguing it. Also, france wouldn't give it's missile codings based on some threat britain makes at Argentina. The story doesn't fit, has no basis to add up and is yet another ridiculous web of lies if in fact the BBC or British PM said so.
We as Muslims, Pakistanis really ought to start looking at information through the lense of reality. Britain ain't a saint, never was, never will be. It's history is a testament to this fact. Believing their stories is an insult to our intelligence. Please be more critical of the information. France had no dog in this fight, nor did it have any benefit to gain from saving the Argentinians from being nuked. They aren't as benevolent as the British story portrays the french to be. For eight years 1946-1954, the french attempted to recover it's colonization of Vietnam. Colonialists are all the same, period.
The claim by brits that their PM threatened to nuke Argentina is bullshit. Only two superpowers existed at the time, United States and Soviet Union. No other country had the balls to unilaterally nuke another country besides USA & USSR.
Does Turkey own any western or domestic engine design bureau or engine manufacturing plants where they build the whole engine on their own? As far as I recall, the LHTEC T8004A engines are joint development export variant engine, which includes american Honeywell, british Rolls-Royce and some italian firm. The $1.5 billion deal for 30 T129 helos is in jeopardy, as turks face american wrath for buying S-400s and fight against american backed Syrian Kurds. Pakistan may also be targeted in the turk-american spate, since Pakistan has not been listening american's request of doing more against Haqqani Group. Last news I heard was the poles and french were offering to fill the engine void created by american pull out.
