TR Air-Force EF Typhoon

[Nutuk]

Sure there will be minor adjustments to inlet etc. when swapping engine. But an aircraft can be very well designed to have some engine room for alternatives (Kaan and Kizilelma are the examples)


With EF we have zero input and zero room to make any changes. We have to ask the consortium even to integrate our own missiles for hefty charges.

Bottom line the EF decision is not taken from technical considerations, it is purely political. (IMHO a very wrong decission)

We most likely have asked for our standard munition to be configurated into the EF already. So EF will be delivered capable of firing off our missiles. Even SOM since it was developed for F35 and they likely already have the information.

Regarding weapons, the Embassy reaffirmed that Meteor is included and provided two strategic clarifications absent from industry responses. First, it stated: “Türkiye has made their intent clear. The UK will work with Türkiye to achieve the best possible outcome,” signalling political openness to the integration of Turkish air-to-air and air-to-surface weapons. Second, it confirmed that Türkiye may export its sovereign systems to other Eurofighter nations, a policy position that could expand Türkiye’s industrial role beyond national use.
