And it seems American teen series to be produced by the end of this decade. Then I think there will be fighter gap in global market if Americans dont fund alternative to F35. I think it is good oppurtunity for KF-X and TF-X projects.

Yes, I think so.

Well, youre right about that. Did i say anything that contradict your statement above?

Basically not, my dear colleague. I only reminded the fact, which is quite often forgotten.

France has different needs than Romania, UK has different needs than Finland etc., that is what I meant.

And… not all European countries have 4,5th generation eurocanards – only 9 of them.

It is quite early to talk about future foreign sales of both aircrafts. I belive European producer will boots their market presence with “stealthy” Eurofighter and Rafale derivatives; but Swedens has to stick with gripenNG at least 2-3 decade. But in the end Turkish TF-X can be easily sold to from MidEast to Mid Asian markets; where as KF-X/IF-X could dominate south-east Asia.

I think European aerospace industry powerful enough to market new competetive fighter aircrafts against up-coming “new generation” figters. But if you look back European UAV industry performance, there is a risk even with superior technologlical capabilities, to create useful solutions.

For USA, they will concantrate so called 6th generation fighters. I dont see any cheap alternative of F35.

Stealthy Eurofighter is sci-fi.

Isn’t to early saying anything on KFX/IFX or TFX ? KFX/IFX only manage to finish the first stage of development, and the second stage now being delayed by ROK for at least another 18 mo. TFX, well right now is just a rough design.

Anything can happen on those projects.

Naturally, ananda, its only hypothetical topic. But… may be, Turkey, South Korea and Indonesia are in relatively good economic condition.
