To be honest F-16 production line has a huge backlog too so we are not getting the new F-16Vs anytime soon. Modernization kits are different though. IF LM can deliver the kits we can upgrade our own F-16s.

Nope block 40 and 50+ to V and block 30, 40 and 50 to Özgür-II. The first Özgür-II delivery for block 30 will be made in 2025. All block 30s will be upgraded to Özgür-II standard in 2027. Block 40 and 50 deliveries will start in 2028 and end in 2030. Özgür-II consists of air-to-air (including...

It might also happen on the anniversary of the Gallipoli campaign.

Lol, this confirms 10 million+ Syrians unless we operated every Syrian.

It doesn't work that way. Usual business is charging 2x for export but don't be surprised this is still half the price of competition.

The first flight is tied to the election date. Expect it to fly something like 1 week before the election.

I hope the Senate blocks the deal. We need a big shock to learn from our mistakes. Apparently what we experienced till today is not enough.

It looks like a Milkar plane. It looks repairable but it might cost a lot so might not be worth repairing it.

It is a secret project. You can't find any info about the project on the internet. Only the best defense industry enthusiasts know that.

After the US side offered us F-31 instead of F-16 we have no choice but to accept Sweden's membership. The offer was too good to be rejected.

Lol Bahçeli behaved exactly like I expected. Such a good American apparatus. Shame on the government for allowing Sweden into NATO.

BMCs factory will be ready in 2025 but it won't instantly chunk out 1500hp engines. There will be training, trial production, etc. Similar to the TOGG factory.

IT won't be a better tank in the end. It doesn't matter if we upgrade the electronics again. The doctrine and the tank design itself is outdated.

LRIP.

I expect Gokhan to be unveiled second half of this year with an initial availability of late 2026.

Yes. Tübitak works on a continuously rotating detonation engine. https://www.defenceturk.net/tubitak-sageden-surekli-dongulu-detonasyon-motoru

No confusion it can travel 50km at 45knots. It can go faster if you sacrifice range for speed. Anyway, IMHO number one improvement should be replacing chemical batteries(Zinc+Silver oxide) with lithium-ion batteries and it should be planned and done as soon as possible.

That is why I wrote "was".

PAC-3 MSE is a great missile. IMHO it is the best endo-atmospheric interceptor. The only weakness of the Patriot system was its radar. It is no surprise the US navy wants PAC-3 missiles on its warships.
