They literally announced that this is a prototype for ground testing before even the first pictures came out. The one that flies is supposed to be in 2024. The Hurjet prototype is supposed to fly in 2022, along with the Anka Wing UAV. The Kizilelma flew this month.
What is so unimaginable about a state which has been license producing f-16s and F110s and that was part of the program producing parts for the F-35 from also producing an aircraft domestically with the same F110 engine? I'm not sure what you are implying here, that its fake or something?
Guy commenting on the article:
Give it up, man. You are becoming an embarrassment to your countrymen with your constant meltdowns whenever the Turks make a breakthrough.
Every time you make a breakthrough? Then I guess you're either not making breakthroughs often enough or I don't have "meltdowns" that often?
Besides...I c/p an article that says this looks like a fake,but we haven't confirmed it yet...and you guys go nuts.
Tamam kardes,tamam. Maybe I'm the bitter Yunanli,ama you get hard nipples every time a screw is produced by a Turkish company
Like,a picture circulates...a picture that also looks strange...and
Turks are like "Ne guzel! It's the best aircraft in the world"
Pakistanis are like "WE MUST BUY IT!"
Chinese are like "Eh I can do better job,look bad"
Iranians are like "When can I copy it?"
Greeks are like "Fake. Look at the plastic wings"
And Russians are like "Blyat,need engine for that?"
