I don’t know if what is your problem but i have never presented it as an official picture, but if your logic wants to accept it as like that its your problem. How many times i must say that it has no relevance with the real bird, its too early yet :diablo:

You can be sure that Turkey will become one of the best at aviation industry and im sure from that. Before your comments only check this thread how many i have posted than advise you think again!!!

Then whats the point? Might was well post TIE-Fighters and X-Wings.

I hope he doesn’t think many if any F-35s will be replacing Tornado’s, Mig-21’s, Mig-29’s, Mirage F-1’s.

Who says in the future the will be a canopy? Maybe sensors get good enough that you can display a TRON like represination of the world? (Even detailed enough to land with.)

Who needs to look out the cockpit when you have HMCS? 🙂

Upgrading F-15Ks to SE seems unlikely. Maybe the internals would get upgraded to SA standard to ease maintenance might be an option.

List Of KF-X Opponents Grows

1. It was a open Government Sponsored debate between ADD and KIDA
2. The cost comparisons were probably done with a F/A-18
3. Its not asking about US assistance KIDA is rightly not sure about F-X3 ToT
4. ‘Other Skeptics’ are paranoid about the Evil US screwing us for the F-35
5. KDI of course was one of many preliminary feasibility studies and as a result development is being stretched out to help Korean tech catch up.
6. The secondary C102/202 variants aren’t discarded they were studies into what needs to change for those edits.
7. Block 1 would be prototypes and LRIP planes as the are marked as EMD (Engineering and Manufacturing Development) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manufacturing_Readiness_Level
Block 2 would be the actual in-service fighter. Block 3 is just to keep things open ended for the future.
8. The lack of budget is because of the elections and the budget allocated is sufficient to attempt to get Turkey aboard for one last time and prepare for the EMD stage.

9. It was not in-service by 2021 it was initial production.

From my initial observations, it seemed that Turkey was up for a heavier, air-air optimized fighter, something in the class of may be PAK FA or J-20, i.e two-engine, heavy and maneoverable. Latest news indicate a tilt towards single engine, agile and affordable fighter, something like a distant cousin of Gripen or F-16.

South Korea on the other hand, indicated that they want a fighter to supplement the F-15K, which forms the backbone of their air force. Expectations and requirements are not very high from the KFX – on the other hand I am hearing extremely challanging req.s for the Turkish FX.

There is also the problem of project management, collaboration and sharing issues. Turkey currently conducts two important projects with South Korea: KT-1T (which is about to be completed) and the Altay main battle tank project. And Turkish experience on S. Korean’s project management, documentation and coordination skills is rather bitter, to say the least.

I would like to know more.

Orko there are reports that Turkey has subsequently returned to the negotiating table with Korea, with SAAB’s involvement. Are you rejecting these claims?

I can’t find it but in response to concerns (KF-X didn’t get new funding to start EMD this year but they have some money) the government said this year/year and a half or so will be used to negotiate with Turkey among other things. Not sure about the SAAB angle. People are probably looking at SAABs involvement in similar stages of both programs and assuming.
