Looks like there is some truth behind this after all and the acquisition of c130 from the uk.
I’m guessing the first batch would be delivered with Ukrainian engines and the the rest hopefully with domestic engines although I don’t know if their is development for that
Not really TAI themselves said that the first 20 Block 10 4.5 gen would be delivered in 2028 although I also doubt that but serial production with the domestic engine is planned for 2032
I mean with our own Özgür 2 program will have block 70 like f16 so I would rather have the F35 but we do need more aircraft maybe buy second hand f16 and the right to upgrade them all.
We need minimum 350 active duty jets in the future currently we’re 100 short.
Ch-47 are also needed 11 are...
I would guess that they are deploying atak. Selling would be to expensive compared to just buying AKINCI and for donation it’s to important only a lease would make sense.
Would be better to sell it to some central Asian country or transfer it to Libya or Syria so they have capable ad.
If the Russian bitch about trying to block the sale just threaten them with giving it to nato/us it’s not like they can afford to cut economic ties with us-> we have all the cards
AKINCI as well as tb2 designate well within radar range of any medium range ad only with ew they have a chance as we saw in Libya and Syria.
Anka3 is designed to engage high value targets while being in enemy controlled airspace.
To do that its stealth can’t be compromised that’s why toygun is...
