Most probably because TurAF have no intentions of selling F-16s.
Maybe because F16 are all owned by military, but akinci prototypes are privately owned. Baykar is advertising products jointly with aselsan, why would army advertise its foreign bought inventory?

@Anmdt (and anyone else that can maybe shed more insight)

I was doing deep dive into more radar technology, basically to try to assign power levels for naval wargaming in domain of electronically scanned arrays w.r.t planar phase shift (more well known in general to layfolk as PESA, AESA etc) versus frequency scanned (older, simpler tech).

Firstly I was wondering if ASELSAN et al ever developed/deployed a frequency scanned radar or Turkiye went straight to phase-shift (given advantages of AESA commensurate to Turkish defence industry capacity maturation + grown needs coinciding circa ~90s).

This is where I left my deep-dive for now resource wise roughly:

https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/36698821.pdf (coincidentally this is thesis by Turkish naval officer at US Naval PG School)

American lineage regd it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AN/SPS-48 (the papers given as sources)

Secondly in my case to come to some idea of final power level for say a (standalone, no support) destroyer/frigate having a fregat M2EM russian (Frequency scanned) radar versus say MFSTAR or equivalent AESA. Would the latter be like 1.5 times, twice etc? I understand if you aren't really a "radar" guy regd naval domain of this stuff and don't want to estimate/guess at it....but this may be interesting aside anyway for audience here.
