IMHO, the size of the Air Force's combat fleet should be large enough to avoid ceding air superiority in contested theaters to the opposing side while fighting on two fronts(you know which fronts) simultaneously. Therefore, we need all types of combatant jets: F-16s, EFs, KAANs, even Hurjets... On the unmanned side, if TEI can successfully bring the TF6000/10000 project to mass production, then with the Kızılelma variants and Anka variants, as whole picture we need to create not only qualitative parity but also quantitative superiority, even in a 1:2 situation. Not only these, also saturation/RF decoy/jaming drones in hundreds like Super Şimşeks... Things are heating up, and the Air Force, in particular, needs to take significant steps in both training and procurement planning. Without underestimating any local capacity, I believe we need everything. Everything we can use!
