In theory we could replace the avionics with Turkish ones, we could set up infrastructure to build chinese engines and replacement parts etc. but J-10 simply isn't worth it.
if it can't mount a Turkish radar, if it can't launch a Turkish missile, if it can't have datalink connection with other...
There's a long long history of anti Turkism going back to enlightenment, but most recently the influence of Armenian diaspora in France have steered politics against us.
Even Bernard Lewis got fined in France for speaking against Armenian genocide allegations.
Doesn't have to.
If you have to retreat all your squadrons to Diyarbakır, you're already fucked. We don't have F-35, we don't have F-15, only 30 Block50+ F-16s have the CFT, that has decent range.
Altay Tank was supposed to enter service in 2016, It's almost 2024 and we still don't have it...
We can't rely on that, we can't know who's going to hit which airbase first, we have to beat every foe in the air and right now TURAF inventory is not enough for this. We're behind even Greece. This Eurofighter purchase is very important.
Getting kicked out of F35 program really hurt Turkey no...
It's stupid no matter who does it.
LOL you think they give a **** :cheesy:
France will directly attack Turkey.
The most rabid anti Turkic country on earth is France. They hate us much more than Greeks.
Lol
World peace achieved.
They are definitely not in TRG-300 range.
Such an attack would be carried out by SLAM-ER and SOM missiles. But Greece has similiar storm shadow missiles too. It's more about who attacks first.
I think France already secured the best defense contracts in Egypt during Erdo's rabia phase lol.
Ada class corvette and İstif class frigate would be more cost effective systems than French offers.
T129 and Gökbey helicopters could also be offered.
We never had such problems with Europeans, Lots of Turkish equipment in the Reis class (German Type 214) Lots of Turkish equipment on the T129 (Leonardo A129) and many other such cases
The problem is Germans' libshittery. They are butthurt because Turkey will bomb the "poor innocent little...
We can't do without Gökdeniz, that would be absolutely insane.
The whole purpose of this upgrade is to replace Sea Zenith with Gökdeniz because Sea Zenith spare parts can't be found anymore.
What's really disappointing is there's no ESSM mk. 2 and there's no CENK-S.
Major upgrades are...
IF you can understand the military as a tool in diplomacy, you will realize the fact that you need a military force even if you NEVER go to war.
That's not on the table. Americans aren't selling.
And Americans wouldn't agree with "just give us engine and airframe we'll fill it up with our own...
