-SSM signed main contactor agreement with TAI to lead the project in paralel to benefits of Turkish Rrpublic.
-Aselsan, Roketsan, Tübitak Sage, Bilkent, Meteksan like technological hub institutes are charged to develop many strategic subsystems, components, devices in paralel to development of TFX.
-TAI purchased a super computer for desing activities of fighter.
-In critical design phase, Turkish and British design team will benefit the test opportunities of BAE installations locating in Britain.
-BAE accepted almost all requests of Turkish officials and guaranteed to deliver all srnsitive technologies Turkey requests without any limitation on usage and exportation. English ambassador told it.
-Turkey foreseens a 5-7 years to develop TF-X engine domestically.
-Two air to air missile project (iir short range, rf long range) under the name of Goktuğ is commenced in 2012-13.
-A fighter mission computer called Ozgur is developed and integrated to an f-16 flghter for trials.
-Aselsan is preparing to reveal two AESA radar. One for f-16 in 2018/19, other is 2021-22 for Tf-X. The GaN radar T/R modules are from ABmicronano which is the jv of Aselsan and Bilkent. I expect to see prototype mock-ups in IDEF/2017 defence fair.
-Aselsan passed into serial production of own developed E/O pod system called Aselpod. Strateglc thermal detectors are also from Aselsan. It is even exported to brother state Pakistan for jf-17 Thunders. It is planned to reveal an EW pod called EHpod and a SAR pod in next years. According to official statements, TF-X will not have seperate pods on paylons but onboard sensors inslde of fuselage.
-Turkish institutes are working on fully glass cockpit solutions to be worked with Ozgur misson computers codes.
-A stAnd off cruise missile which is going to fit inner pylons of TF-X is under development phase thanks to experiences gained in SOM cruise missle program. The name of new missile is SOM-j.
-Selecting a fighter is like selecting an ally for the future of a country. Turkey selected own ally called TFX and inviting brother Pakistan to join to own alliance for the independance of own skies.
I think those early efforts reveal reasons enough to make some of you think How Turkey is serious to develop and produce own fighters. When i read the comments of some hostile members which is actually targetting the hand to hand advancement plans of Muslim populations with underestimating the capabilities and ambitious of Turkish and Pakistani nations, i realised that we are on our correct way to achieve our strategic goals to destroy the power balances some westerners pushes the limits to obey their politic and evonomic rules, while feeding their satellite states with technology and cashes to create a perfect instability but As you see Such strategic projects will loose the sleeps of some countries step by step when reality of drawings became more visible in near future.
...U got him...
