Not such a bad choice to get out of a bad situation? I have no idea if it includes authority to integrate Turkish weapons . Does anybody know?

Expensive, certainly but weren't new F-16's going to be expensive, too?
For me price tag is secondary what I try to imply is having full control over a platform other than that totally satisfifed with EF since it is one of the best fighers in the sky, we need to wait for KAAN to achive full satisfaction I guess 😈

According to this news, Qatar is trying to off load all 24 Typhoons in it's inventory.
We should either forget Oman's planes or add these to our purchase of 12.
These are the top dogs at the moment as far as Typhoons go.

We should also seize the opportunity while the offer is still valid – the F-16 is approaching the end of its technical service life. After Block 70, the US will only modernise the aircraft in exceptional cases, for example if safety-related problems arise. Otherwise, there will only be software updates before the series is gradually phased out.

The Americans plan to use the F-16 only for the defence of their home country in the future, while older models will continue to be used as unmanned "zombie jets".

The Eurofighter, on the other hand, is expected to receive hardware upgrades well beyond 2045 – I am convinced of that.

For the Turkish KAAN project, the Eurofighter in a customised version with national subsystems and Turkish precision ammunition would be the ideal high-performance partner.

If this is true (big if, I know), it would be insane to pass over those other 12 EFs.
