Againg not a valid argument, you are straying away from the subject. We are talking about a F35 and not F16, maybe they are not going to sell it to. The news about is positif but that is, maybe it because of Russia. I agree with the last senctece.
That is not valid argument, all that countries you have mentioned don't have enemies supported by USA self. They don't have politics what go clash with Americans bigtime as we do. IF you give them as a examplr it like that, should sample the differences.
Old missiles old tech, deal with it... :D
Am39 is a cheap fire and forget missile, other hand SOM can be programmed after the launch so you can send the missile to another target.
SOM
- IIR seeker what AM39 doesn't have
- Data-link wher AM39 doesn't have
- loitering capabilities
- longer range, wher SOM will have 250km+, AM39 is 100km max.
- could be fired from Drones and Fighters(F16 and F4)
Am39 is a old outdated missile, it is still dangerous offcourse.
I didn't...
Why are you people making a ball measuring contest? I only have mentioned Egypt because of that rat Levy. They will sell Greec bigtime was mine intention.
In aditional upgrade they try to counter our navy with air lauched exocet missiles, we will give them answer with superior SOM air launched anti ship missiles. This kind purchase won't change the upperhand of Turkey :D .
