TFX (or MMU in Turkish) has BAES as the design partner during the preliminary phase with full HMG backing.

why the Kurds? Or do you mean the PKK who are proscribed in the UK and pretty much everywhere else) and who have murdered 40,000 people since 1984.

Or or do you mean PYD/YPG arch-opportunists who are carving out a proto-state in northern Syria by displacing the Syrian Arab population?

Or the Kurdish Regional Government in northern Iraq that Turkey has good relations with.

All good questions, Whenurhappy, but the only Kurds that Turkey will tolerate are those in other people's back yards (e.g. Iraq, Iran). Turkey does not really recognize different groupings of them, designating most as terrorists. When Turkey invades that border swathe right across northern Syria, which it keeps threatening to do, the target will be Kurds of any affiliation, and they will not like these new aircraft, is all I meant to say.
