It will only increase as more and more platforms finish development and enter mass production. Hopefully the diplomatic effort to sell these products and build partnerships is also increased at the same time.

how much turkey want to export 30 bilion dollars a year?

As much as possible. There are a significant amount of markets that are untapped. In Central Asia, South Asia, South East Asia, Middle East, Balkans, Africa, etc. Even Eastern Europe.

Great to see Turkish defence sector flourishing!

Once KAAN is ready, expect a LOT of interest from many Muslim countries to buy this plane. Hope Turkey is already thinking of setting up both a domestic and export production line from the very start.

Even if fighters like J-31 turn out to be initially superior, lots of Muslim countries will accept a lesser KAAN in order to support Turkey and they know that the aircraft will be constantly upgraded throughout its 25-30 year lifespan.

We don't know if J31 will actually turn out to be superior.

J-31 is not superior on the comparison of specs. Its a very capable fighter, but the roles of the aircrafts are different KAAN is a more expensive heavy fighter, while the J-31 is a medium fighter which is supposed to be less expensive than the J-20 and meant for export. China is not planning to acquire the J-31 for its air force, instead opting to go all in on the J-20, as budgetary issues are not that big for them.

The KAAN is more Akin to the J-20.

Fair enough as we cannot make a direct comparison between the two due to different weight class, but navalised J-31, J-35, will be used by PLAAN.

Don’t focus on my point of J-31 of potentially being superior in terms of technology, as that reference was made on China’s greater experience but more on Turkey’s advantage in being a Muslim country.

We have seen so called greater experience in low quality Chinese Drones

but more on Turkey’s advantage in being a Muslim country.

more on Turkiye’s advantage is being a Western-NATO standard high quality and technology
