“At Teknofest (* must be a solo air show during the organization) in Cyprus, the F4 aircraft narrowly escaped (*escapes) the disaster. The accident was prevented with a very skillful maneuver...”

Sure, pilot displayed his experience and skills as a seasoned aviator, but you cannot ignore the powerful thrust ran through those good ole J79 engines, either. This moment proves Jeremy Clarkson right one more time as he constantly claimed over the years, raw power and performance of an engine is crucial.

I think from this angle, that maneuver looks less dangerous, but still a close call.

Just for clarifying. Turkeye had a local modernization program for F-16 Block 30 and 40 and that is more than 130 plane I gues. So how long will the program take to be completed? And how good is this modernization?

To be clear if the Typhoon are ordered and few even arrived don't be surprised if the contract is blocked and even the parts stopped being shipped in case Turkeye was pushed to do any big operation against terrorist groups even if not a single civilians died.

F-16 block 70 has AESA radar and it definitely has Recce pod, just not old DB-110.

F-16 block 70 has AESA radar and it definitely have Recce pod, just not old DB-110.

Of course, the aesa radar is the most important feature of the block 70.

The F-16 has block 70 AESA, but there is no ASELSAN MURAD 100-AESA in block 70.
