Last year, TAI signed a memorandum of understanding with the Asian nation for the co-production of TF-X composites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">TAI is also considering Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Kazakhstan as potential partners or buyers of the future fighter jet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c[TF-X] will be the first big fighter jet of the Muslims,\u201d Kotil said. \u201cBuilding the aircraft first and then selling it is a modality. But we think it\u2019s better if we take in partners at this stage.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company also invited Malaysia to partner on its Hurkus, a trainer and light attack aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, the Turkish government is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/industry\/2019\/12\/12\/turkey-to-rolls-royce-lets-renegotiate-terms-for-tf-x-fighter-jet-support\/\" target=_blank>keen to revive talks<\/a> with British company Rolls-Royce for the design and production of the TF-X. Foreign Minister Mevl\u00fct \u00c7avu\u015fo\u011flu said in December that the government wants to move forward with its planned cooperation with Britain for the production of the aircraft. But Turkey must first select an engine for the TF-X and then finalize the aircraft\u2019s full design \u2014 a process that has lagged behind schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A \u00a3100 million (U.S. $131 million) deal between Rolls-Royce and Turkish manufacturer Kale Group was effectively put on hold amid uncertainties over technology transfer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In October 2016, Rolls-Royce offered a joint production partnership to Turkey to power the country\u2019s planned platforms. The offer involved potential sales to third parties and a production unit in Turkey to manufacture engines for the TF-X as well as helicopters, tanks and missiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A year before that, in October 2015, a memorandum of understanding was signed between Turkey and Rolls-Royce for technological know-how and a production unit. Under the plan, Rolls-Royce would launch an advanced manufacturing and technology center in Turkey \u2015 the company\u2019s eighth such unit worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also in 2017, BAE Systems and TAI signed a $125 million heads of agreement to collaborate on the first development phase of the TF-X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Turkey\u2019s aerospace and procurement officials now aim to fly the TF-X in the 2025-2026 time frame, despite an original target of 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Turkish Aerospace Industries is interested in partnering with five Asian nations on its future military
