TEI has been producing f16 since 1994 and now combines it with its native avionics, soon with its new radars. GE F110 engine produced in Turkey for decades ruined man.
Turkey has been doing nothing but assembling those. Nothing more. Even Saudi Arabia assembles. You lack the technology to produce such a thing by yourself. You're in a defence forum here, we're not children to buy into your fantasies.
You think that people will think of you by using the Russian engine in the aircraft you can fly with 3rd class Russian metallurgy.
What do Russian engine have to do with anything else? Even so, those Russians engines are many decades ahead of what your kind can produce. Your only hope is to get engines imported. I.e From the UK.
I wonder what this is:
1- Imported NATO technology
2- Imported South Korea technology
3- Some project that will never see the production stage (like many of your projects)
4- All of the above.
