Most logical thing to do is this (if US approves and agree to compensate F35 money). But it should include integration of Turkish systems and weapons to Vipers. 40 new 80 upgrade, and rest will be Ozgur (or Block 50+) and local production / assembly. If not, Eurofighter is the only candidate to fill the requirement until TFX. This deal could also secure engines for TFX and Hurjet (or include) But we all know US, even if they approve it will take years...

Defence Ministry and Airforce acting very logically recently, I am surprised to see determined steps. But we know there aren't much option unless Trump lifts CAATSA suddenly and F35 deal reinitiated.

Can please all members be more vigilant about what they share in the forum?
If a video already have a flag that clearly shows “altered or synthetic content” , then it contains false information.
Check to see if that news is correct or of a source that is dependable, before sharing it here.

There are rumors that Turkiye is expected to sign a contract worth 12 billion £ (14.45 billion €) for 20 Eurofighter Tranche 4+20 Eurofighter Tranche 5 (optional). Deliveries are expected to begin in 2027. There is also a separate weapons package worth 2.5 billion euros if all options of the weapons package are exercised.

40 Eurofighter Tranche 4/5+ weapons= ~17billion euros
40 F-16 block 70+weapons=~7 billions euros

Eurofighter is known to be more expensive though, and even more expensive to non consortium members, it is a very high end capability, whereas F16 with FMS and very large production numbers to date, is going to be much cheaper.

Source of the all discussions was this twit:


I think some people misunderstood some parts of the twit. However I am still unsure about this statement. If we consider current orders and state of the Eurofighter in UK, It might be true that they will be produced in Türkiye. However I personally feel weak this option and I think he wanted to say that delivery order has changed and UK's production will be for Türkiye.

This account pulls everything out of its behind, it is not a serious source nor has it ever gotten anything right, you would think with how much they throw on the wand something would stick.


There are others too. I said already it is just rumor. No need to take it serious but this idea is not fully absurd. Giving some attention makes sense.
