This must be for Özgür.

Most logical thing to do is this (if US approves and agree to compensate F35 money). But it should include integration of Turkish systems and weapons to Vipers. 40 new 80 upgrade, and rest will be Ozgur (or Block 50+) and local production / assembly. If not, Eurofighter is the only candidate to fill the requirement until TFX. This deal could also secure engines for TFX and Hurjet (or include) But we all know US, even if they approve it will take years...

Defence Ministry and Airforce acting very logically recently, I am surprised to see determined steps. But we know there aren't much option unless Trump lifts CAATSA suddenly and F35 deal reinitiated.

I disagree with you on that. I know that if we acquire them for trainer then that's what we should do, but in an all out war or such, being able to turn those jets into LCA and more modern one is an asset that should not be under estimated. As it is our fighterjets are getting older and older.

TurAF will have stealth drones with indigenous engines and probably lower unit costs than Hürjet LCA. So why do you want Hürjet LCA in high numbers? IMO Hürjet LCA makes more sense with a MUM-T concept, which will be probably the reason why TurAF will buy the LCA variant at all.

Can please all members be more vigilant about what they share in the forum?
If a video already have a flag that clearly shows “altered or synthetic content” , then it contains false information.
Check to see if that news is correct or of a source that is dependable, before sharing it here.

There are rumors that Turkiye is expected to sign a contract worth 12 billion £ (14.45 billion €) for 20 Eurofighter Tranche 4+20 Eurofighter Tranche 5 (optional). Deliveries are expected to begin in 2027. There is also a separate weapons package worth 2.5 billion euros if all options of the weapons package are exercised.

40 Eurofighter Tranche 4/5+ weapons= ~17billion euros
40 F-16 block 70+weapons=~7 billions euros

Eurofighter is known to be more expensive though, and even more expensive to non consortium members, it is a very high end capability, whereas F16 with FMS and very large production numbers to date, is going to be much cheaper.
