The promising Turkish MMU/TF-X fighter, based on the expected characteristics and capabilities, can take a place between the F-22 and F-35 fighters. This opinion was voiced by the CEO of the Turkish aircraft manufacturer TAI Temel Kotil.

The possibilities of a promising fighter are being discussed in connection with the first tests of the engines and control systems of the MMU (TF-X) prototype fighter. These tests show that the Turkish aircraft manufacturers have taken up the matter thoroughly.

The President of the Presidium of the Defense Industry of Turkey, Ismail Demir, announced today, March 18, that the aircraft had entered the runway. Even the day of the aircraft's release was not chosen by chance: on March 18, the country celebrates Victory Day in the Battle of Canakkale (World War I).

Recall that the TF-X is a promising fifth-generation fighter project. The first versions of its design were presented back in May 2013 at the International Exhibition in Istanbul. According to preliminary estimates, the cost of the aircraft development program is estimated at at least $ 10 billion.

According to the plans of the manufacturer and the expectations of the Turkish military leadership, the aircraft should make its first flight in 2025-2026. After 2028, the aircraft will be put into service with the Turkish Air Force.

The Turkish Ministry of National Defense expects that domestic aircraft will replace American-made F-16 fighters, which are planned to be gradually decommissioned by the Turkish Air Force from 2030.
