I really wonder that if the deal is approved, when will Turkey get the F16s? By 2030 maybe..... at that point, what is the use since the TFX would have already been commissioned
By that point, what is the use of the F16V? TFX would be better as Turiey can equip it with its weapons whenever it likes without having to send them to the US to be accepted into the F16's software. If at that point, Turkey used its F16s it would be a waste of money as the TFX would be better and drones like MIUS etc can fullfill the mundane roles that the F16 used to perform at a cheaper price and more effectivelyTfx, f16 and the f35

Turkey has ability to manufacture and assemble most of f16 parts.
Turkey has ability to integrate turkish weapons to us made plane.
F16 in viper configuration is still a contemporary fighter especially compared to russian and chinese counterparts.
F35 is not a reliable option for in the context of US-TR relationship.
TFX is still on a spec sheet. expecting it to be opeational fighter in 2030 is i think beyond optimism. Just consider that rafale made its maiden flight in 1986, become operational in 2000, became a matured platform with block f3. We are talking about this process for French defense sector which is more advanced compared to ours.
F16v's is single most cost effective option by far.
I see this F16 deal also as a political mission, to close the F35 chapter and to move on for both countries. See it as a peace offering from Ankara to Washington.

As far as I know, all avionic upgrades have been completed. It is waiting for the indigenous Aesa radar, which should be ready for trials sometime this year.What stage is Özgür project at right now?
