not to mention some of the superior flight characteristics of the EF2K, such as the mach 2 top speed.The best possible deal we can get out of the these negotiations with the US is not that we buy new planes or the modernization kits, but the permission to upgrade the newer blocks ourselves. I have no idea why we are not actively pursuing this, it would eliminate practically all problems that come with a direct purchase. Delivery would be faster, investment will stay within the country, experience will be gained, portfolio would be widened, subsystems will be domestically made, lessen political fallout within the US and Turkey and etc. If they are afraid of competition for upgrade contracts then we can simply offer to only upgrade our own. Screw these scuffed downgraded packages and kits. The Israeli's really are going about it correctly.
