TR Air-Force EF Typhoon

[Spitfire9]

@Nutuk What if Kaan engine development has issues and they delay it for a few years… You have to think in the long term and in the worst-case scenario. Those Eurofighters would be a good stopgap and an insurance policy if things goes bad. The Air Force would at least have something if anything bad happens.

Very expensive but offering greater capability while covering Turkiye against KAAN project delay or engine supply problems - US or indigenous. Eurofighter failed to get organised on AESA radar for many years. Will Turkiye's Typhoons use the European Common Radar System (ECRS) Mk2 version, reported to be outstandingly good?

@Nutuk you are being reductive here. There's definitely info on EF performance from exercises and we have been in them, seen them side by side including with rafales. So we know their performance when buying them. It's also the only aircraft we could really acquire that's up to date and high end, but other countries program evaluations also corroborate it's performance vs gripen and rafale. Qatar EF are likely to arrive WHEN WE HAVE PILOTS READY FOR THEM. I explained this point but you seem to be ignoring it. And we just have to have an AESA equipped capable fighter. Because with Block 50 you might as well not have any fighters.
