If what's called ALIS thing is true ... Its a real danger and a big trap .. it looks like to put u airforces under USA controllF35 is a hazard for Türkiye.
F-15*I dont like the F-35. If we only had good lobbyists in the Washington, we would go for the F-22.
F35 is a hazard for Türkiye.
We have conflict of interests with the US, F35 can not be used when the US does not want it to be used.Im not a F35 fanboy but we need these jets simple as that even if we cant get them i wont lose sleep over it.
today another f35 fall down and injured 7 marines... what happens it fall down with one of the best Turkish pilots in it?Im not a F35 fanboy but we need these jets simple as that even if we cant get them i wont lose sleep over it.

You can not replace F-35 with TB2. You are comparing apples and oranges.Every time an F35 is wasted it is the cost of 50 TB2 wasted.
Considering all the strings attached to it an F35 can not match the usefulness of 50 TB2.You can not replace F-35 with TB2. You are comparing apples and oranges.
Good luck with hunting other fighters with TB-2 or using bombs more than 100 kg.Considering all the strings attached to it an F35 can not match the usefulness on 50 TB2.
Who said TB2 can be used as a hunter? Nobody.Good luck with hunting other fighters with TB-2 or using bombs more than 100 kg.
You are comparing them, not others!!Who said TB2 can be used as a hunter? Nobody.
F35 may have it’s drawbacks. But they are great planes that will tip the scales to the side of the airforce using them.
Yes, if you do not have the source codes and freedom to integrate your own weapons, it is a drag! It ties you dependent on US origin weapons. But to have a couple of squadrons of them flying, will have many an advantage for our industry and airforce. Countries like Russia and Iran will think twice before they can start sabre rattling. And the technical information flow coming in via these planes will save millions.
ALIS is a negative point which has been addressed and certain remedies have been put in place. Pls. See below.
My only concern with this aircraft is the high cost of maintenance and keeping it operational. Plus the integration of our indigenous weapons being sent to LM to be integrated at outrageous costs, which in itself gives them access to the quirks and weak points of our weapons. If we are confident that we can in time develop means to integrate them ourselves by way of US equivalents (like we do now with JDAM and HGK) , then I don’t really see any reason not to buy them.Two F-35 partners threatened to quit the program. Here’s why they didn’t.
How serious were the problems? Serious enough that a couple countries threatened to pull out of the program, according to U.S. Defense Department documents.www.defensenews.com
like firing the weapon payload without opening the weapon bay doors, obliterating the enemy aircraft and its pilot to a crisp.ALIS is a known feature, how about a host of other manipulations that may be there and you will only know when you are doomed. Like it fires the weapons load without pilot's input upon instruction that its master issues.
If you want to be paranoid about it, then we shouldn’t buy any planes whatsoever from US.ALIS is a known feature, how about a host of other manipulations that may be there and you will only know when you are doomed. Like it fires the weapons load without pilot's input upon instruction that its master issues.
F35 is a disaster waiting to happen. A time bomb or worse the embedded enemy in person.
There is no advantage that we can gain over Iran with F35 as we do not need any. And against Russia it is only a trouble as you will be punching above your weight with borrowed weapons.
All we need is our own technology that matches the capabilities of F35 or comes close.
But do not forget that every single technical advance we managed up till now, has it’s roots at the Western know how given to us and western tech we either purchased or given.
