TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

[Spitfire9]

So and now somebody tell me again why do we need the Eurofighter???

If Kaan is to be delivered in 2028, than Why the f. do we need Eurofighter? Are we extreme rich and masochists?

1 what is the earliest KAAN could reach FOC with the Turkish air force?
2 what is the earliest Eurofighter could reach FOC with the Turkish air force?

Do the answers lend weight to a choice to order Eurofighter?

Either they tell us a lot of BS, expecting big delays in the Kaan project or something. Having Kaan delivered in 2028 and purchasing Eurofighter is non sensical

We talk about Kaan delivery in 3 years, Eurofighter is unlikely to be delivered earlier

Because we need the fighter jets today and not tomorrow.

Its also called not putting all your eggs in one basket.

The Turkish air force is currently alarming. While there used to be 200+ F4 phantoms and 200+ F-16s, now this number is:
235 F-16s
30+ became F-4
In other words, we need at least 400+ war planes to regain our former power.
Kaan, 20 units will be given in 2028-2029, so it is a small number.
