Mius is a complementary to f16 in variety of situations. It cannot replace any f16s like akinci or tb2's in the inventory.If MİUS enters production by next year, would we even need new F16s? As serious power's move to 5th gen jets, it feels like this purchase is rather pointless. Sure F16s are still great. But this kind of resembles Greece's purchase of Rafale's. A descion out of desperation. Long term, I think it's a waste.
Greece bought rafales which is state of art engineering in omnirole fighters. They have an advantage upon us. However, it is only one aspect. It does not mean they have full superiority in air . A rafale would ve been a perfect plane for TurAF needs but not possible.
There is still time to replace manned fighters with unmanned ones.
