[Strong AI]

Only 35?

As part of the Özgür Modernization Project, our company will deliver 35 Block 30 F-16 aircraft to the Air Force Command.

AFAIK the Air Force has only 37 Block 30.

Özgür I is only structural Upgrade?

Özgür I is only structural Upgrade?

No.

 

[Sanchez]

Özgür I is only structural Upgrade?

Özgür I is an avionics program to modernize and nationalize various avionics of the F-16 Block 30, including the mission computer, national IFF and new MFDs. I believe there is a separate program running at the same time for structural modifications to increase service life of the aircraft. And Özgür II is also being worked on.

There is no structural mod right now. That project is finished. TAI delivered all of the F-16 block 30s modernized under the structural modernization project.

Prototype fighter takes longer to modernize serial modernization is quicker.

Examples: Turkish CCIP program, Greek Viper program, etc.

Modernizations are not being done one after another. In most cases, those changes are done during major overhauls to keep it economic.
