Have you seen the competition? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-X_program

Boeing with Saab
Lockheed Martin
Northrop Grumman
Raytheon and Alenia
Textron

and then there is SNC with TAI. All of those companies have build different kinds of jets. They have way more experience.
SNC has experience in Space Travel but they have never build something like this. Neither did TAI.

SNC should be involved in TF-X btw.

I have a stupid question. Why can't we use JF-17 as an already existing basis to develop a new fighter jet?

No actually I meant "regional jet fanfare" statement.

SNC is a big big NO for us. Until USA packages us "you know who", there will not be any partnership at that level.

"you know who"

Sounds like Lord Voldemort.

Ukraine and Turkey Sign Agreement On Joint Production of Aircraft Based on Antonov Designs

Ukraine and Turkey have signed an agreement on joint production of passenger and freight aircraft. According to Daily Sabah, they will be assembled in Antonov manufacturing plants.

The agreement was signed by the Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine Hennadiy Zubko and Minister of National Defense of Turkey İsmet Yılmaz during the Turkish Minister’s visit to Kiev at the end of last week. Zubko stated "I am sure that our work will bear fruit. We have prepared a 'road map' and we will adhere to it.”

According to Daily Sabah, Turkey will create a model of a passenger plane based on the An-158, as well as a cargo aircraft based on the An-178. It is possible that technical cooperation between the two countries will not be strictly limited to the production of aircraft. "Thanks to the efforts of the technical delegation, we discussed bilateral economic relations on the whole,” said Yılmaz.

Antonov to Supply Its First An-132 In Early 2017

The Antonov Design Bureau, a Ukrainian aircraft manufacturing and servicing company, which is part of the state-run Ukroboronprom Concern, plans to supply its first An-132 aircraft to a customer under a contract with Saudi Arabia's scientific organization KACST in early 2017.

This aircraft was designed and built with the use of Europe- and U.S.-supplied components, as well as domestic ones, according to Oleksandr Khokhlov, the director of the An-132 program and deputy chief designer at Antonov.

"Now the aircraft is at the final assembly stage during which the aircraft's systems and equipment are being installed. The maiden flight is planned in the fourth quarter of 2016, and in the first quarter of 2017 we plan that together with our Arabian partner we will present the aircraft to potential customers from Saudi Arabia," Khokhlov said.

He stressed that the aircraft fully meets the customer's requirements and is a good example of import substitution in the domestic production of aircraft.

"Despite the fact that the An-132 is a comprehensive modernization of the An-32 and the An-26 which were designed during the Soviet era, using Russian components, our principled position was to abandon cooperation with Russia, not only for political but also purely economic reasons," Khokhlov said.

At this, Khokhlov noted that in case of signing firm contracts for the construction of new An-132 aircraft, as expected by the Ukrainian company, it will be able to quickly launch a full-scale production of aircraft using own production capacities.

"We possess relevant technical capabilities. In fact, we can carry out a full-scale production of aircraft or share part of the production process with the Saudi company according to a cooperative scheme. Currently they can take on only a small production segment, but they are considering options to expand it. Besides, a joint marketing strategy is more important to us now than industrial cooperation.

Entering Saudi Arabia's market with the An-132 aircraft will allow us to gain a foothold not only on that market but in the entire Middle East region, focusing later on Latin America and India's markets, where Antonov's aircraft have long proved successful," Khokhlov said.

In February 2015, Ukraine's Antonov and Saudi Arabia's Taqnia Aeronautics signed a cooperation agreement on the establishment in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia of aircraft manufacturing complex and the An-132, An-148 and An-178 production. Antonov company estimated that the market demand for the An-132 aircraft in the next 20 years would be 900 units.

What happend to this project.

They decided to cooperate with SNC and have set-up a joint-venture called TR-Jet. Which will produce modified versions of Dornier aircrafts both for civilian and military usage.

I saw in their press-room on their websites that they have already received 10 orders from a Turkish ministry, 5 from some company from Singapore on top of 50 that have been guaranteed by the government for the first model.
