I'd hope TUSAS, Aselsan, Havelsan, etc, bypass our SOEs and deal with our private sector. IMO, the Turks will get exponentially more mileage by investing and establishing our private sector than by leaning on the SOEs. Yes, it'll cost more upfront, but they'll save way, way, way more in 10-20 years.Well seems like Pakistan is getting a KAAN production line alongside production of some avionics
I think the Turkish companies are more after the raw talents in Pakistan to be groomed and grilled into their own cultures.....I'd hope TUSAS, Aselsan, Havelsan, etc, bypass our SOEs and deal with our private sector.

That may be best for Pakistan as well. What Pakistan private sector lacks is a proper culture. The landscape in every sector is dominated be nepotism instead of merit or is governed by ex army who may run tighter ships (usually not... Its just a post retirement severance) but due to army culture, has a lack of growth, development, and creativity (or its stamped out to be brought to heel under the foot of the leader).I think the Turkish companies are more after the raw talents in Pakistan to be groomed and grilled into their own cultures.....
Im surprised so many of these "analysts" struggle to understand what "Pakistan brings to the table". Have they no idea that nobody will be able to afford this plane unless massive orders are placed for it? Something Pakistan is likely to do. 90+ planes and the question is still "what does Pakistan bring to the table", so silly.Turkey seeks partners for TF-X fighter program amid fiscal uncertainty
The Turkish economy is experiencing high inflation, and the country’s external debt reached nearly $476 billion in March.www.defensenews.com
Lessons of 71 says otherwise. Lessons of 2/27 say / repeat about the same as PAF along with IAF struggled in the end to keep up the sortie rate and IN Air Arm wasn't even involved.I dont think the Naval air arm really has a choice. Allowing them to pursue a fighter means the PAF will probably lose its control and funding to some extent. IIRC, those naval mirages were under VERY tight PAF control. Navy doesn't really need them anyway. Countering the IAFs carrier aircraft doesnt start in the sky, rather, it starts underwater
tbh it's not even Army culture, just lazy uncle culture. That's why we can't even trust civilian politicians.That may be best for Pakistan as well.

The engine is still under designing ? Are you serious?Pakistan shouldn't ignore the "engine" part of the program too! Now that around 300 engineers are working on KAAN's engine to finalize the detailed design as per Prof Aksit, TEI's CEO, it's the right time to give some inputs and be a part of it. Please note that TEI is modelled after GE, which owns 49% of it. It means there is a "library of parts" available and being constantly improved. To be included into the "library" each part is individually designed, fabricated and tested to be qualified for the specified performance and reliability. Once the design is ready you just pick and plug the parts to implement your desired design. And, then test it as a whole system as it's manufactured using the latest "recipes". No "Asian" style shortcuts are allowed; only the "Prusssian" work ethics are followed. Aero engines are no jokes from the "brown" folks, it's the "White Man's" adobe.....
Actually the problem is that whenever they (some countries & some people) say any kind of collaboration between (Pakistan & China or Pakistan & Turkey) they always get pain in there stomachs & after that they start some sort of propaganda tactics for sabotage the collaboration meanwhile in my opinion Pakistan will for J-35 from China & after that it will induction of KAAN fighter jets with joint production line InshAllah...Im surprised so many of these "analysts" struggle to understand what "Pakistan brings to the table".

The core part of the engine is ready for the test within a year as all the fundamental building blocks in the "library" are individually designed, fabricated, tested, and qualified. It's called GE model of designing turbo engines like "LEGO" models are built using "BRICKS".....The engine is still under designing ? Are you serious?
To design, manufacture, verify&test a engine for Gen-4 fighter, a country need to invest multi billion usd, 10,000(if not more) technical manpower, and decades of time. good luck!
