TR Air-Force EF Typhoon

So we can use our own developed wepons on the Typhoon which is great. This can open the doors for our ammo sales to other users too.

Will the Qatari tranche 3a fighters be upgraded to tranche 4 like EF from Oman?

All the Turkish eurofighters should have Captor-E ECRS MK1 radar at least.

ECRS-MK1 is actually built on the basic ECRS-MK0. There isn’t much difference between the two. But the MK1 has more developed T/R modules that allows it to be cooler and improve in performance. Electronic Attack facility is there. It allows for more intricate retrofitted EW and SAR capability.

So it is an economically questionable move to upgrade MK0 radar to MK1. But Mechanical radar is definitely worth an upgrade.

Having said that, short of being an Aesa radar, the mechanical radar is no slouch. It will perform much better than any of our f16 radars.

However it could be a wise move to wait until ECRS-MK2 fitted planes start joining the inventory before we upgrade the radars on the Omani or Qatari planes. If Omani planes are upgraded to MK1 radars as we receive them, then we can wait for 2028 and upgrade the Qatari ones with MK2 radars gradually.
MK2 radar is the real game changer among the 4 EFT radars.

I hope they make public some details of the deal otherwise this thing somehow leaves a bad taste. If we indeed have access to the code to probably also integrate Murad in the future, we should try to buy some more Tranche 3 second hand.
