There has to be electrical continuity for the advanced ram coatings, the f16 shape is probably not suitable for that. Plus it would probably be thicker than regular ram paint, and alter flight characteristics.
Tell that to the yanks mate, they've already done it and will do it to more planes in the future.

I might remember wrong but I read an article years ago that mentioned that treated F-16s have I believe 5 times lower RCS.

Also Bulgarian F-16 Block 70s will be delivered with Have Glass paint but not sure if that was set in stone.

TUSAŞ Deputy General Manager Prof. Dr. Fahrettin Öztürk:

'We don't have an engine development project for Hürjet.'

The engine currently used by Hürjet is the GE F404 engine. Certain agreements have been made regarding this engine, and specific approvals are awaited, but TEI has the capability to produce it if production permission is obtained.

TEI can produce this engine like the F110. You might ask if TEI can develop such an engine? They can, but that's not on our agenda. Our current agenda is to develop the Kaan engine.
