CATOBAR is very expensive, the British intended first purchase of F35C and employing CATOBAR on the ships. But when it became twice as expensive as anticipated the British turned to deploy F35B and no CATOBAR on the aircraft carriers.
My own opinion is that eventually we will purchase also F35B and that unmanned aircraft like Kizilelma and ANKA-3 will be the backbone of the naval air force.
IMO we will have the aircraft carrier like the British Queen Elizabeth without CATOBAR, with a small number of F35B, helicopters and combat drones
That said suppose I am wrong and we somehow manage to create a Turkish version of CATOBAR than I expect Kaan fighter jets (chance is small to be honest)
