And the CMV-22 was to fulfil the role of carrying F135 engines in full configuration but it can't do that as well. Issues happen at procurement all the time. 235s may not be able to carry F110s, but they are worked to death in all matter of duties for the last 40 years.

worked to death???? I have to think how naif you can be like that.

Have you ever seen after crashes that Kayseri airborne brigade jumped off this plane.

Have you ever seen elite troops of the Turkish Army board this plane?

people these planes were no good from the beginning. We had to prove that with human lives.

Ask Turkish Army why they have so many white-painted VIP versions of this aircraft and none use them. With these planes, they can transport a few boxes back and forth, nothing more. Elite soldiers definitely not since 2011.

Efes 24, international participants and special forces command:

2018, special forces command:

We have more than 50 CN235s in service in air force, navy and the coast guard. They fly day and night in all conditions. If we had retired types after they crashed, we wouldn't have planes left to fly. Aircraft crash, it happens.

We don't have so many. There should be 3 VIP configuration ones, 1 Turkish Stars logistics aircraft and 1 air ambulance apart in the air force. VIP ones are also used pretty heavily.

to my knowledge; at EFES 2024, Turkish special forces participated with CH47 helicopters. the other participants had the Cn235.

Here's Erciyes 2023 with commandos and international participants. We of course don't have the data, but a Turkish CN235 is in air every day during the day. These aircraft replaced our C-47s. They are used as work horses and undertake any and all missions. They are not highly capable, but they are very cheap to run.
