Not possible without other partners I think. UK and Italy use F35B, so only spain could be a canditate but they don't have a full carrier, F35B is more suitable for them because they have harriers on their LHD. I think it's inevitable. It would be an interesting development if we partnered for 2 carries and naval eurofighter though, but I don't think other partners would approve that anyways
If I were to give my opinion, if a country puts its money and bears the cost and risk of a variant and capacity expansion of a platform on which they are already making money for the partner countries in question, it is not pragmatic to be against it, and it would only be the product of political stupidity. I have hope that with the second Trump term, the EU region will face some harsh realities and this political stupidity will be left behind a little, including Germany, but of course this is my personal opinion. Because of that, I'm more interested in what would be a real alternative to the F35B if we don't have access to it, rather than other questions.
My Q; What if Turkish naval forces does financing the development of actual size fighter aircraft that will meet the needs of the naval combatant air forces exactly, over the the project that its model is ready, the feasibility has been done, but no client has been found before.
There is no doubt that the consortium countries are not interested in this variant. Countries in the EF consortium, including Spain, are not expected to engage in this type of development when they already have access to the F35B. As stated in the part I have already quoted, this 'project' has remained as a plan B. Apart from that, it may have been offered to India and Brazil, i dunno, it is necessary to scan the sources.. What we know that the engineering side of the project was largely ready and a number of institutions in the UK have put a lot of thought into it. This is the part I attach importance to, the engineering solutions of what to do and how to do it have already been worked on more than once.
But with an important nuance, Not, for example, that the Arab emirates fund Lockheed's F-16 variant development in the US, but whether there can be variant development that includes Turkish aerospace industry participation. The experience and cooperation to be gained here could pave the way for the development of a navalized jet within the domestic fifth generation jet development program in the future. This accumulation can also be achieved through the Hürjet Naval, but on the one hand, a platform that can meet the needs of naval combat aviation at the 'minimum level' may emerge, while on the other hand, there may be the opportunity to acquire a full combat jet.
This could be a strategic direction in terms of opening up access to a STOBAR jet that will meet your needs exactly, even if the sole user remains the Turkish naval forces. Like I said I'm just thinking out loud, this way we may have access to a fighter aircraft with an extra corrosion-resistant fuselage, flight avionics that provide more precise landing and take-off, reinforced landing gear, the ability to land on unprepared and short runways, and certified with all naval warfare munitions. Again, my personal opinion is that if we had such an aircraft, I would not equate the potential acquisition amount to MUGEM's typical air task force. Btw, I apologize to the forum if I took the current topic out of context, I like to chatter sometimes...
