wish ... may ... could be... recommended... Don't be the fish on their plate.

In fact, F-35 subsystem supplies will continue until March 2020. Even deliveries increased around 20% cases, in response to Turkey's potential outof program. Just one week ago, global sales director of Sikorsky helicopters joined the T-70's roll-out ceremony produced in Turkey. Also T700D engine are produced in Turkey with around 60% domestic contribition. What happens if this program stops? Turkey has already completed the ToT stage, include gearbox and engine, if no T70 so theres Gökbey project is continue. However, Sikorsky could be suffers a loss of sales of at least 217(108+109) helicopters, if T-70 program stopped by caatsa. Unlike some jerks in the Senate, the US defense companies are working in favor of Turkey.

The news is full of bullshit, no need to mention one by one.

The style of the news is informal and it looks like a blog post with wet dreams of an anonymous author.

The F-35 and S400 equations are difficult to solve as everyone knows. However, there is also a question mark about this aircraft actually how much Turkey wants.

Everything beyond that is intended for speculation and have purposes about desired Turkey perception .

actually Turkey can make/manufacture sikorsky engine from scratch now! We have single crystal tech. as for ATAK engine, TEI will handover first engines to TAI to integrate heli next year. it is 1500hp engine, much powerful than Honeywell engine.

my prediction is that US will hold demand of enginesfor Pakistan until last minute and then they release the sale when Turkish engine ready.

T-129s will come. One day or another.

Our future involvement in such procurement if any will be strategic with offset type clause. We have that opportunity with T-129 and its future variants (ATAK-II e.t.c)

I am not sure we could get similar evolution with Z-10 platform.

Highlights from the haberturk interview of TEI General Director Prof.Dr.Mahmut Faruk Akşit:

- We completed the jet engine core 2 years ago. We've gone through hundreds of tests, learned a lot. We reduced fuel consumption, increased power.

- 1500 hp engine assembly is finished, manufacturing phase continues. We will deliver it for use in Gökbey utulity helicopter within a year.

- We have proven ourselves in the world in producing core engines. We are taking our steps on the way to MMU by making it bigger.

- We created our own library of Air Engines. Things have become easier.
