Capable? Yes. Affordable? Unlikely. Algeria is buying su35 and su57. Egypt and uae are politically not positioned properly still. Nigeria does not have such infrastructureand budget. Ukraine and kazakhstan are not very likely either.
Hmm I mean, 150 Turkey at least short term, 50 Indonesia, and then maybe Saudi and Spain 50 each at best? Who else is really interested?
Consider that pakistan is already buying chinese aircraft and azerbaijan is buying j17 and kaan is overkill for them. Oh maybe qatar one day
Well they are partner in SCAF and F35B doesn't really have an alternative for Juan Carlos I. They could be aiming for upgrading Juan Carlos for KE or build a new carrier with us to use with drones and use harriers in that duration. Buying F35A for them isn't realistic since they are also buying...
Ramjets require an initial speed, thats why it's different for sam vs a2a. SAM are better of solid because ramjet also depends on air and would have difficulty with high altitudes.
Not to mention, china also starter with stobar with Russian style carrier and jets and now are moving to Cato bar with their stealth jets. I think we would go a similar pace, but this also follows China's incredible growth. Our economy is stagnating. A better economy is required for all that.
Will US even sell F47?
Wrt carrier based Kaan, we simply don't have the budget. Hurjet and drones will have to do. The journey to naval aviation is long and we have a lot of work to do. We might have a full carrier with a stealth fighter in 20 years if economy doesn't collapse.
One question, if it was an offset including stuff like palm oil would that still be the case? Turkey imports about 800 mil $ worth palm oil annually for instance, I had heard something about such an agreement
Do we know if 270 degree is continuous? Maybe its front and back 270° coverage because it would be difficult to have 270 just from the nose, unless they are like angled 90 degrees?
