Turkey and BAE Systems are starting the negotiations on the pre-design phase in the Indigenous Fighter Jet Programme (T-FX). 

The Undersecretariat for Defence Industries (SSM) will start negotiations with BAE Systems in the forthcoming days and is expected to conclude negotiations in February-March 2016. If no results are achieved from the negotiations with BAE Systems, the discussions will continue either with Sweden’s SAAB or Airbus Military.
