It's the chassis, the engine, transmission are going to be foreign, so I mean you can call it a Turkish protect and believe whatever you want, but the rest of the world doesn't see it that way.
If Turkey were really as self sufficient as Erdogan wants everyone to believe, then Turkey would have been able to build the f-35 without US approval. Turkey would have been able to sell its helicopters to Pakistan without US approval.
Turkey's TAI TF-X fighter jet, there will be mostly foreign technicians working on the project. The vital parts will be foreign, including the Rolls Royce engine. And now Turkey is seeking help from China / Pakistan to help move along the project ? However it remains to be seen how the UK and other EU/western nations will respond to such actions.
I suggest you read the second article I posted. Turkey has come a long way in become less dependent on foreign suppliers for their military hardware, yet at the same time, for the foreseeable future, Turkey still will be extremely reliant on foreign nations for vital foreign components for their weapons systems, including engines among other vital components for their drones
Even the S-400, right now Turkey is promising the USA/NATO to basically only use the system on a partial basis. Turkey is currently badly in need of spare parts for its F-16s, attack helicopters and UAVs and at this point has no options left but to bend the knee.
As for the S-400, Turkey currently does not possess the algorithms and is reliant on Russian technicians for maintaining the system on a regular basis. This will be the same thing with the several nuclear powerplants that the Russians are set to build in Turkey for several billions dollars. All of the fissile material will constantly be removed by the Russians, therefore Turkey will have ZERO chance of building a nuclear weapon.
This is one of the main reasons Iran chose to purchase the latest version of the S-300 as opposed to the S-400, since with the S-300 Iran has full access to all the codes and algorithms. Even in case of a war with Russia, Iran can use the S-300 against the Russians. Turkey won't have that option since the Russians can eaisly turn off the system as any moment.
In conclusion, state propaganda is one thing, but reality is another.
It's the chassis, the engine, transmission, cannon are going to be foreign supplied or built under foreign license, so I mean you can call it a Turkish protect and believe whatever you want, but the rest of the world doesn't see it that way.
