Realistic option would be to leverage relations with Pakistan. Like I said even though Israel is likely to win strategically in the short term, they don’t really think long term 20-30 years down the road. Then again BiBi won’t be alive then to see such things happen so who the heck cares…

It's not just Bibi, their whole society is effed up.

I'm optimistic the Pakistanis are willing to give that which is needed by the Turks.

It's not just their society either.
You see all the major NATO countries (Including the EU) coming out in support of Israels actions.
Both when it comes to the war of aggression against Palestine - one of the cruelest wars in World history - and the war of aggression against Iran.

As @Radonislav said, I believe things are still in flux wrt to the number of F110 equipped Kaans. Could be just a dozen orso for one squadron or could be much more due to possible delays with TF35000. Or none whatsoever because of sanctions/embargoes/politics.

Who knows. Time will tell.

The author of this website is notorious for sometimes misleading people and doesn't usually present the full picture. In this instance, he directly quotes a not entirely accurate translation of an article by Breaking Defence.

“We [have] already started working on” the new TF35000 turbofan engine, Mehmet Demiroğlu, general manager at TAI, told Breaking Defense at Le Bourget, adding that work is being done jointly by Tusas Engine Industries (TEI) and TRMotor. As part of the system’s preliminary design phase, a “conceptual design is almost done,” he added, “and then it will go to initial prototyping maybe by the end of the year.”

Additionally, Demiroğlu said that “some early testing” of the powerplant is planned in 2026 and integration on KAAN could be a reality starting in 2032.

the flight schedule of the P1 got delayed by a quarter (but we already knew that):
Demiroğlu said that a prototype flight test campaign will be “very active” in the near future based off plans for a first non-demonstrator aircraft (P1) to start flying in the first quarter of 2026, P2 to follow in the second quarter of next year, in advance of P3 taking to the skies by “early” 2027 at the latest.

Regarding the sale to Indonesia:
At a separate media event, Demiroğlu told reporters that a first KAAN international sale with Indonesia for 48 aircraft “will be finalized [in the] next couple of months because there are some technical requirements that we need to finalize.”

On additional export orders:
On the prospect of additional orders Demiroğlu added, “I can tell you, if not this year — I’m hoping this year — but if not this year, early next year, we will hear something as big as Indonesia.”

Also, the plan is to deliver 20 planes in 2028-29, but the "delivery might slip by a couple of months", they expect to deliver 10 jets in 2028 (per the old GM).

Initial engine tests in 2026, integration activities by 2028 (in a similar set up to the tests of WS-15 and AL-51) and serial production of the indigenous engine by 2032.

Overall, even with delays, TAI still is ahead of the schedule by 6-7 months.
