As much as we love to clown on our neighbors across the aegan. Their media when it comes to this stuff is pretty on point. They were the first ones to report about the F-16V deal years ago before the government or our own media had let anything slip.
They also have been reporting for months now what our own media and "experts" are slowly letting out.
Though if LM lowers the price as a deal I would still take the 40 F-16V just to beef up the Air Force.
Also while we are at it with the americans how about some more CH-47 for the Land Forces and MH-60R for the Navy.
Might as well.
I like your enthusiasm over the purchase of F16V70 planes.
But to purchase 40 planes that will bring with it new weapons purchases and more dependability to US, need to be addressed and reconsidered.
Besides, if Murad is to be ready soon, it is better to fit it to our own f16 Ozgurs making them potentially unknown to adversaries. Even with low energy output of F16s, if it can make a few km difference in radar range, due to its GaN modules, it is a no brainer.
Considering the fact that Typhoons we will be receiving are going to be far superior to the F16V70s, we might as well buy another 20 of those if we can spare the cash.
According to RAF, F35s and Typhoons make a seamless match without causing any sharp differences of performance when operating together. On the contrary they complement each other perfectly.
Stealth design meets superpower sensors, a radar showdown between F-35 Lightning II and Eurofighter Typhoon. Who dominates the skies?
