The reason can be better explained by Korean friends but this is a visible issue among many people who follow the projects of states. Although Korea seems to be more advanced than Turkiye in overall picture, when we look at the management of projects and component/subsystem level localisation...
The countries of Gulf are in competition among themselves and this competition often leads to a harmless power struggle. Although KSA is the leading country position in their geography in terms of territory and population, UAE with its investments and active foreign policy can overtake the...
In 2024;
-Start of construction of Tf2000 prototype
-Construction of Milden test block
-Launching of STM500 test block and unmanned submarine(?)
-Construction of TTAB that will be produced "high quantities" in total
-Construction of 4 more Istif classes

Certainly state's strategic threat perception and inventory assessment works in the way you mentioned bro.
Aster-30 Block-1NT is seriously requested today against guided ballistic missile threats that pose serious threat from Iran and its proxies which have become very widespread and at the...
I respect all views but I dont approve of those who are spreading nonstop fear and panic with worst case scenarios.
What Turkiye is doing now is to increase deterrence and discourage adversaries with intermediate solutions. We do not aim to buy Eurofighter T4/5/6 or F16 Block70/90/100 and brag...
I didn't say SABR is the latest AESA tech in radars but It is certain that it is the latest of its generation F16's best variant can use and this make it the last gen for F16s a customer can purchase. That's what I meant
SABR is the radar that can be used by last gen F16 variants and is offered to F16 customers as last gen. We expect Murad AESA to show better performance. Let me know if there is a newer version other than SABR for F16s. Yes, RBE-2 is not a last gen radar but it is AESA.
Turkiye
315 Aircraft (with EF) with all last gen AESA and BVR + KAAN Block10/20(2030+) + Anka-3-4 (AESA), Kizilelma-B-C (AESA)
Greece
220 Aircraft with 108 of them (F16V+ Rafale F3R) have AESA and last gen BVR, 18 of them (Mirage-2000BG) will be out of the service until 2030 I guess and 24 of...
According to CnnGr, if contract can be signed within 6 months in 2024, Greece may receive its first F35 in 2028/29 and first F35 will be operational 16/18 months after receiving first one.
I think even these dates are very optimistic. It is not easy to make delivery before 2030.
What I am trying to say is It is not just "Conditions for Turkiye on sale/usage of F16" that Greek diaspora wants to add the propolsal for sale. Turkiye strongly rejected it.
Apart from this, there is no need for them to make an amendment to block the deal. The US can find any reason and block...
