Big words for a country who's most potent fighter is a 00s F-16. Even with Kaan online, EF would still be our most kinematically potent fighter. And we need that kind of kinematic potency re Greece. We always did. They got Mirages, then Rafales; we didn't do jackshit for 40 years. KE is...

Updating this with 113, 132, 133, 151, 161, 162, 181, 191, 192, 193, 152 and 166 for F-16 squadrons. 193 usually acts as a transition unit for future F-16 pilots but they undertake combat ops as well. In the last 2 years, 162, 192, 166 and now 133 were revived/formed, bringing the total to 12...

Looks like the old 133 "Claw" was brought back to life as well. They used to fly F-5s and it was disbanded in 2013. The "132" detail on the first patch makes me think they will possibly be another tactics and training squadron like the 132? Funfact, with 133 being returned back to life, we...

What we received with F-16 CCIP mod package and the missions computes is heaps and bounds more than what we will receive with the EF buy package.

We might get stopgap EFs in 2027 or 2028 as well 🤷‍♂️

"The aircraft are undergoing comprehensive maintenance and inspection work at Marshall Aerospace’s facilities in Cambridge before being delivered in a baseline configuration that will allow Türkiye to integrate its own mission systems. Deliveries are expected to take place over three to four...

Either more than one test or more than one aircraft. Most possibly multiple tests.

See the vertical stab bases, more than one test, or more than one prototype.

Looks like İzci 6x6 with Yalman turret in army livery.

Ferry loadout, yes.

RAM paint is a product. One being better at hiding true RCS doesn't automatically make it better than the other. Americans learned it the hard way in the last 40 years. Applying and maintaining the RAM coating is just as important to keep readiness high. That's why F-35 can be deployed to...

Milliyet claims the F110 purchase is for 20 Block 10 jets and 8 spares, 48 total. "Deliveries of the first batch of 20 KAAN Block-10 aircraft to the Air Force are scheduled to begin in 2028. Forty of the 48 engines planned to be procured from the U.S.—40 of which are twin-engine models—will be...

Looks like the German Pac-3 in Malatya is now active. https://www.bundeswehr.de/de/organisation/operatives-fuehrungskommando-der-bundeswehr/patriot-schutz-luftraum-tuerkei-6120006

I shared it in FoPo topic but this has so many possible results that we can actually discuss it under 5 different topics. This was a big claim, Rusian say discussions continue. But it looks like something big is afoot.

Only information we have is the number of ready to fire missiles in the launchers, which we cam surmise from the number of canisters. Even then, we know that first deliveries were made with lighter loads as it took some time for the missile production to ramp up. System/battery level reloads...

Selvi writes that the S400s are going to be offloaded to a Gulf country, likely UAE or Qatar. Interesting.

"- At the same time, Turkey is continuing its efforts to develop a completely domestically produced engine. Officials consider a timeline after 2035 to be more realistic in terms of mass production."...

Material realities don't care about plans. We saw the first instances of 2035 being iterated by reporters yesterday.

P0/GTU has been little more than a ground prototype for some time.

Different programs. This timeline is only correct in the minds of propagandists.
