162 Filo "Harpoon (Zipkin)" (TuAF)

It's unclear if 162 is still active after it was retired few years ago. I saw it mentioned that it was reopened few years ago but didn't see any photos or videos so far. It's unclear if its aircraft still are in the joint pool with 161.

Well, that's just funny. HvKK and Aselsan discussed further modernizations to F-4 2020s. F-4 2040 on the horizon?

Looks like Aselsan deleted that part.

They removed the part about HvKK chief's visit completely. Someone didn't like all that chatter from the last 2 days.

Which was really unnecessary. TURAF just wants to keep up their capabilities. TURAF is the victim here. Those damn politicians ffs.

In short TUAF is cornered and wants to prevent any leakage of how bad the situation is.

Anyone thinks they'd give a damn if they had replaced all the F-4 and F16 with new ones less than 20 years old ?

After Kaan, the government should launch a new fighter program, this time it should be a strike fighter, specialized for air to ground missions. Those F35s are not coming, so Turkish Air Force better have a contingency plan.

Afaik KAAN will be able to carry more internally than F-35 does.
And there is a reason why KAAN will have Toygun EOTS.

Only two more short range AA missile

 

[Oublious]

Only two more short range AA missile

That big fighter can only carry 4 amraams? Are you sure?

 

[Hannibal]

That big fighter can only carry 4 amraams? Are you sure?

F-35 is being upgraded to carry 6 amraams or 6 future aim-260

why? Kaan will be able to carry cruise missiles and guided munitions inside its bays, and it will have EOTS

F-35 Block 4 can carry 6 Amraams

 

[Oublious]

F-35 is being upgraded to carry 6 amraams or 6 future aim-260

F22 can carry 8 amraam.

 

[Azeri441]

F22 can carry 8 amraam.

Not true, F-22 carries 6 AIM-120s and 2 AIM-9Xs

Our current status is getting more and more embarrassing. We need to finalize at least one of F16 B70 or Eurofighter right away, without the signatures we can't even guarantee any delivery date and yet Pakistan and Algeria are getting J35 and Su57 this year

 

[Zelil]

Buying S-400 was the worst decision this country has ever made. We could have F35 by now but we are gonna get out matched by greek airforce in the near future.

We should give S-400 to ukraine and return to f35 program.

 

[Strong AI]

Are you sure?
It is planned that greece will get their first four F-35 in 2030.
Guess what TURAF will have by 2030 (actually we can only guess thanks to our politicians).
The Air Base and afaik the infrastructure for their F-35 is under 500 km away from Turkish border. I think greece will be never able to make all their F-35 airworthy at the same time.
So this means that Türkiye could easily destroy their F-35 infrastructure and some F-35 Jets too.

People should stop comparing Air Forces like they compare football clubs.

And people should stop worrying, because currently no one in our region can achieve total air dominance against us. And without that, they are fcked, they know that too.

Luckily, warfare is more than just 20 planes they might get by 2030s. I swear I'll never understand people that are getting worried about Greece. They are not a threat to us by themselves, cannot ever hope to be. We spend 4 or 5 times more than them, and not just this year, almost every single year. We have far larger military and more importantly, we have far more experienced. And we have our own military production, so we can arm ourselves unlike Greece who buys some stuff and accepts whatever their puppetmasters donate to them from their old stocks.

The real threat are the ones that'll be hiding behind them and arming them at the best case scenario in a war between us, or, join in at worst, not Greece, never Greece.

What is it with this fascination of Greece being a real threat?
Do elaborate.
