Yeah the biggest bet is BAE. Ukrainians can hardly do anything about that now anyway. How come the Russians weren't asked to help from the beginning? I mean before the war in Ukraine started.
Firstly, the Russians could not put their Izdeliye 30 engines in the state they wanted. It is very, very doubtful that they have sufficient technical ability. Those who emerged in the Ukrainian war also support this.
It's wonderful to see the Turks excel. It's just a shame that their success didn't land well enough in Pakistan to encourage our decision-makers to collaborate with them more proactively. tbh, none of what we see now is surprising, not to me anyways. There were signs, even 10 years ago, to indicate that Turkey was on the right track and on pace.
The best way to describe Pakistan's defence establishment is a collection of groups of 5-10 people that are trying to impress their bosses and nothing else. Some guy will say to his boss "Sar we will make A", and he'll order 5 guys under him, who will go around the planet telling everyone we're making A and asking for collaborations and what not. When the other side says ok lets do it, there's nothing to back those commitments up because A was just one guy's whim being propagated by 5 people. Some other 5 people have no idea about A and are probably pushing for B.
How long will it take them to realise that this is not how a defence industry is run and certainly not how you produce effective high tech equipment? They need to let go of their ego and see how far their peers are advancing ahead of Pakistan due to them
Considering their work on producing parts for the F-35 Fuselage, building quality should be assumed to be of equal or better quality?
Any indication other aspects are shared between the T-FX and the KF-21 such as IRST, GaN AESA technology, Turkish equivalent to DAS?
Very impressive. Both Turkey and South Korean defense industry are soaring high!!Indeed ... I admit, I was wrong! Sorry for being so much annoying!

Would love to see the Kizilelma UCAV and the T-FX do a flyby side by side on the 100th anniversary of the Turkish Republic 2023. Nothing fancy, just a joint flight over the test facility alongside the first Turkish Republic airplane from 1923.
India is a different case they have been working on an engine for last 40 years and they are very likely to come up with their own 91kn engine in next 10 years and that’s the only reason why USA didn’t stop them from buying different GE engines for different blocks of Tejas
The Kaveri engine which Indians developed after an extensive research of 40 years produces 52kn of dry thrust and 81kn of wet thrust it’s currently under testing in Russia
Though 81kn is not enough to power Tejas series of aircraft because the GE F404 IN20 engines Used in Tejas produces 91kn of thrust but it’s still a big achievement they will use kaveri engine in drones and trainer jets.
The only thing where indians lack in engine technology is the hot core section particularly the metallurgy section but just because they don’t have the technology now doesn’t mean they won’t have it in future they are very likely to master the hot core technology in next 10 years.
Not to mention India is asking France , UK , and Britain to co develop an engine for AMCA with full IP rights over the engine technology now whether these countries would agree to this offer or not is a different thing but India will continue working on the engine anyway
Rolls-Royce, Safran & GE Offer To Power India's 5th-Gen AMCA Stealth Fighter Jet, But Export Restrictions Inevitable
India's Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) is slated for 2035 & Rolls-Royce, Safran & GE have offered to supply engines for AMCA Jeteurasiantimes.com
Any indications Turkish industry would like to offer modifications for the JF-17? Sub-system and weapons integration would be a plus if the Azeris are looking to procure the JF-17 and also want to operate it with Turkish weapons (alongside Chinese weapons) or a unique Turkish datalink, to share ISR data with the Turks.

Ah it makes sense. Very well-said. And yeah,they've been left behind so much in certain matters. For example,like a Pakistani friend of mine said,Russians haven't digitalised a lot of their military equipment.
