Yes, but that's exactly why RR backed off from the deal. Turkey wanted IP. Rolls-Royce dials back on project to build new Turkish fighter jet Erdogan-backed scheme hit issues over intellectual property https://www.ft.com/content/164c5ee0-3d1d-11e9-8c2f-30761f19a974 Without ToT & IP transfer...

Wow spoken like a true internet tough guy. And CCP is wondering why neighbouring countries & trade partners think China is immature bully LOL. Quite a few actually, including myself...

I appreciate your honest reply, but again, I think you should cross out both GE and RR off the list. What Turkey needs to develop an Indigenous turbofan engine which won't be available by 2030 anyway is technologies & IP of the core engine. Both companies won't do that. Even if (this is a very...

Due to high demand of BVR capabilities in ASEAN, the Korean government has laid out plans to equip FA-50 with AESA radar, sniper targeting pod and AIM-120 medium range missiles. Again, I don't think Indonesia needs to rush. Perhaps, South Korea may end up offering FA-20 Block 20 to both...

It seems like Air Force around the world is suffering the same problem. A lot of talks, budget contrains and no actual results.

Thank you for your reasonable and informed reply. The question is obviously who would be the partner(s) and whether they are happy to share turbofan engine technologies, espeically the core engine technologies & IP with Turkey. I am sure you would agree that GE won't do that. I highly doubt the...

Thank you for information. However, I thought Indonesia has already decided on replacing F-5 fleets with F-16V or KF-X/IF-X?

I think Indonesia has options if she could wait. Boeing/Saab T-7/A will be delivered from 2023. TAI Hurjet is not bad on spec sheets, but I doubt they are able to secure engines from RR. I think both trainer jets will come with more advanced avionics and radar. The USAF is interested in...

Now more excuses for the US to remove their troops from Europe. However, I doubt all EU members, as it is stated in the article, agree with this policy, especially the China virus swept across Europe and killed tens of thousands.

I thought Indonesia replaced their aging Hawks with T-50 LIFT (lead in Fighter trainer). What does Indonesia still operate hawks?

It wasn't so smart of the Chinese government to threaten Australia with economic coercions. Australia wasn't even asking for reparation and compensation, but only an invetigation. China has showed their true colours as a bully and Australia will stand tall against their threats.

My godness, mate your lack of attention to what others say and poor comprehension skills are frustrating. Yes, I did ask you questions. I listed reasons why I believe I have my doubts over Turkey's capabailities of designing & building a 5th gen fighter gen and I started my question over the...

Yes, you are upset because I ask hardball questions over capabilities of Aerospace Industry in Turkey. I am the one doesn't mind getting corrected and educated on new things that I did not know before. On the other hand, you took my reasonable doubts over Turkey's capabilities of designing &...

In context of stealth capabilities. They are the most important feature of 5th gen fighter jet. Mate, if you are interested in constructive exchanges, you'd better pay your attention. I am still not sure what is you were upset with my comments on the Radar Cross-Section and Chinese J-20 fighter...

SU-35 is technically a good 4th gen fighet jet..if it did not need so much maintenance and the life cycle of engine wasn't so dismal.

A canard design increases maneuverability & agility at the expense of steath capabilities. However, it is more likely the case that J-20 is "heavily inspired" by Mikoyan Project 1.44 which is another "stealth" jet with a canard design.

Look at Mitsubishi MRJ (SpaceJet). Chinese are actually doing better than expected. However, I don't think Trump would allow American companies to export parts to China. Then again, they need some sales in this dire time.

Excuse me? What attitude are you talking about. I am interested in constructive exchanges. Someone mentioned what constitutes a fighter jet as a 5th gen fighter jet, so I brought up the RCS. Changdu J-20 has a canard design which increases the RCS. So I have my doubts that it really acheives...
