just saying "Falkland wars" the harrier is a devil and too underrated - but they won't sell this beast to us either... thinking about the US pushed RR out of the contract...They look nice though.
RR was pushed out of the Harrier project ?? I think you're mixing up things.just saying "Falkland wars" the harrier is a devil and too underrated - but they won't sell this beast to us either... thinking about the US pushed RR out of the contract...
No... RR was pushed out of the TFX project by the USA, so the same would happen if TR tries to purchase Harriers... You read it wrong GardaşRR was pushed out of the Harrier project ?? I think you're mixing up things.
My point was Harrier does indeed look nice, and Bristol was working on better engine up until it was cancelled. But we should be able to acquire these from GB.
What is the source of that statement?BoNo... RR was pushed out of the TFX project by the USA, so the same would happen if TR tries to purchase Harriers... You read it wrong Gardaş

They couldn't get to an agreement on export rights. The English were concerned about the engine's being exported to countries that might not allign with their interests in future scenario's. Basicly Turkey want's to avoid what it is experiencing with the exports of T-129 concerning the TF-X project. Ismail Demir said that they were in talks with (or maybe he said that the project was open to) engine developers and that export rights over the engine were the biggest hurdle in these negotiations (particularly the one with RR).RR was not pushed out of TFX but the British government supported the plans with Kale afaik but understandably hesitated when TR Motor with Qatari capital was pushed by the Turkish government instead. Since we havent heard anything in a while Erdogans government probably insisted on TR Motor and Rollce Royce is out. Correct me if I'm wrong.
KFX will be a lighter aircraft so KFX and MMU cannot use the same engine.They couldn't get to an agreement on export rights.

This isn't the interview I am referring to (can't find that one), but in this source Ismail Demir says that talks with RR is still ongoing (article from november 2019):

I read that KFX is using American engine's with these engine's being locally produced. I don't know if Korea is planning on designing a domestic engine, and if Turkey isn't able to partner up with an engine company, maybe South-Korea and Turkey could look to start a joint engine project in such a case.
