I'm surprised Indonesia is on Turkey's target list when they already are involved in their own fighter development in collaboration with Korea, Also KF-X (or IF-X) is in a more advanced stage than TF-X.

This programme means an awful lot more now that Turkey has been frozen out of F-35; will also hurt sections of their aerospace industry that was manufacturing components, as well as the planned European engine service hub.

The 2023 aspiration was to be able to display the aircraft on the 100th Anniversary of the founding of the Republic. I think a fi-glass mock up will be towed across Anit Kabir in Ankara.
