kick baby you are the most ill informed individual i have ever come across.
The UK will never give Turkey the "know how" into any military aircraft, especially for the Harrier Jets. Turks will build the platforms maybe and all the hi-tech parts and the engines will come from the UK, should a deal is ever cut. Turks then will crow that the jets are 100% indigenous made, when they are not by a long margin. Turks love to lie about their so called "home made" products, like the so called high speed trains, which are the same as our normal trains here in Switzerland, when in fact, they are French made trains. There's no end to Turks claiming "home made" to anything, when they are not. They do suffer from Inferiority and Superiority complexes all the time.
Besides, Turkey has 100 F-35's on order supposedly, so why would they want to build the much inferior Harrier Jets instead. I don't buy the whole scam between Erdogan and May. They are both trying to boost their egos for their own domestic purposes.
...reminds of the "project of the century", water for those who thirst all paid for by Turkey, we can assume; so little is known about the project's benefits, even whether the water has reached the people who needed it in the first place.
Indeed, the British, and the Turks have a long history together, and on many levels. Both are masters at their craft; a plane such as this is not bought off the shelf, years (and billions) will be spent, for them to fly.
