If you left the F-35 deal, in which you were an industrial participant and benefited from it economically and technically, for the sake of aircraft, you would not be able to use your national munitions on them, and all this money is in munitions that you do not need because you have national alternatives at different stages of development, it is considered a miserable failureSo the details are disclosed,

Even with everything else we are looking to buy, we got fucked so hard. I'll let someone else try to tally all of it up, but there is no way it would get anywhere close to being worth 23 fucking billion dollars. Unbelievable.So the details are disclosed,

It seems Turkey was stuck in a cul-de-sac and couldn't wriggle out but in the end it opens the door on the F-35 program perhaps and the NOC for engines for the T-129 deal between Turkey and Pakistan .Such a shame Turkiye and Hungary all caved into pressure.
On top of that Hungary will be dependant on the EU while Turkiye will be getting ripped off in the biggest robbery regarding defence deals.
It doesn't have to be, if we produce them ourselves again under license like before, then everything will be fine.It would be funnier if they fast tracked Greece's F35 program and gave them priority in deliveries now that would be some joke
The fact that today - when half the world, especially in the regions close to us, seem to have gone crazy - the urgent need for these aircraft is undeniable. We are talking about a huge amount that the Americans call.I don't understand some people in this forum, we need these fighter planes, the Russian ones suck, and the Chinese only sell the Russian clones to other countries which suck just as much. They don't sell the good fighters to others, otherwise they would have done it long ago.
Europe does not sell Eurofighters to us, Turkey is a bigger threat in their eyes than Iran & Co.
KAAN & Hürjet need at least 7-8 years to be competitive not only on paper, but also in an emergency, i.e. in absolute practice.
The F-4 Phantoms II Terminator are falling apart, they have long since reached their sell-by date.
Until KAAN, Hürjet, Kizilelma, Anka 3 really perform within the desired parameters to compete with F-35, Eurofighter & Rafaele it will take at least another 7-8 years.
Until then, we need a transitional period with almost 300 F-16 Block 70/Özgur + various HALE/MALE drones for the next 10 years.
We can't just eat steak every day, we have to eat other foods too.
The same applies to fighter planes, the F-16 is well known and the maintenance and servicing is cheap.
It's a versatile workhorse, the US uses more of their F16 Vipers, F18 Super Hornets & F-15 Strike Eagles on their war missions than their F-35s & F-22s which are just too expensive to operate....
