I do not see the point in touting about an asset (e.g. TFX) which is not in service in the present. You are alluding to what Turkey can do in theory lately but I am not interested in this kind of conversation. A lot can happen in the space of 10 years from today.I am saying again even 4,5+ generation TFX Fighter Jet will be enough to match with Greek F-16V and Rafale , also Egyptian SU-35 and Rafale
Turkiye has enough technology to develop 4,5+ generation fighter jet and turbofan engine .... but needs more time ( 10 years )
also Turkiye has great Electronic Warfare and UCAV technologies
MIUS jet engine powered UCAV will carry AESA Radar + AKDOGAN Ramjet powered long range networked air to air missiles for BVR combat or 280km SOM stealth Cruise Missile for SEAD role
good luck to enemies .... they will need it

ABOUT AIR DEFENSE CAPABİLİTİES
1) Greece buys RAFALE Jets and Turkiye has already S400 Air Defense Systems to turn Rafale Jets into crap of metal ...... and Turkiye will buy more 4 S400 batteries
2) also Turkiye has developed HISAR-O Air Defense System to intercept Fighter Jets and Cruise Missiles to protect military bases and Turkish Airspace
3) and until 2023 SIPER high altitude long range Air Defense System to intercept Fighter Jets to protect Turkish Airspace
and in 2030s GUMS anti ballistic missile defense system
4) Turkish KORAL and REDET Radar Electronic Warfare Systems to jam Fighter Jet radars from 150-200km away
also 4 HAVASOJ airborne stand off jammer Aircrafts between 2023 and 2027
5) 4 Boeing E-7T AEWCs with 600 km MESA Radar in service .. and in a few years 4 EIRS early warning AESA Radars will be in service for network centric warfare ( range of 600 km )
6) Turkiye has developed 65km GOKDOGAN air to air missile .. and now Turkiye develops RAMJET powered long range networked air to air missile AKDOGAN ( similar to METEOR ) to carry by F-16 and TFX Fighter Jets also AKINCI and MIUS UCAVs in future for BVR combat
even AKINCI and MIUS UCAVs with AESA Radar and AKDOGAN Ramjet powered long range networked air to air missiles will be on the Sky 24/7 to protect Turkish Airspace
7) Turkiye spent $3,9 billion for CCIP modernization of 163 F-16C/D block 52 standart between 2011 and 2015
( link-16 data link , AIM-120C7 networked air to air missiles and SPEWS-II Electronic warfare System )
and Turkiye develops GaN based AESA Radar for F-16 block70 standart ..... in a few years Turkish F-16s will have 4,5+ generation capability as like RAFALE
8) now 16 Turkish Frigates armed with 608 of SM-1MR and ESSM also 64 of SEA SPARROW Air Defense Missiles .... ( Turkish Navy has more SAMs than Greek+French Navies combined )
also Turkiye will produce 4 ISTIF class Frigates armed with 64x ESSM SAMs and 250km SMART-S Radar
also 4 MEKO-200 class Frigates will be modernized to carry 64x ESSM SAMs and 250km SMART-S Radar
and Turkiye will produce 7 TF-2000 class Destroyers armed with 64x HISAR and 32x SIPER SAMs
and 450km CAFRAD AESA Radar
good luck to enemies .... they will need it

ABOUT BALLİSTİC and CRUİSE MİSSİLES
The US and Iran attacked empty Bases ........
maybe You do not understand warfare unfortunately...... we will hit jet hangars and fighter jet on the ground
Turkish Ballistic and Cruise Missiles can destroy jet hangars and Greek Rafale Jets on the ground in one night
same senario also will be about Israeli jet hangars and F35 Jets on the ground
also Greek Air Defense Systems easly can be destroyed by the Turkish Armed Forces's upcoming fire power
-- 150 km J600T Tactical Ballistic Missile
-- 280 km KHAN Tactical Ballistic Missile
-- 1.000 km BORA Ballistic Missile
-- 250 km ATMACA land based Cruise Missile with RF+IIR+Datalink
-- 800 km GEZGIN land and naval based Cruise Missile
-- 1500-2000km KARGI anti radiation Drone
-- AKBABA anti radiation Missile
-- 150 km RAMJET powered supersonic Cruise Missile
-- 150+ km KGK-LR glide Bomb with IIR seeker to hit even moving targets
-- 120+ km MRASHM Cruise Missile to carry by UCAVs with IIR seeker to hit even moving targets
-- 110 km KUZGUN joint strike missile to carry by UCAVs with IIR seeker to hit even moving targets
-- 70 km TRLG-230 supersonic laser guided missile to carry by UCAVs to hit even moving targets
-- 400/500 km SOM air launched stealth Cruise Missile with indigenous TRJ-3200 engine
also hundreds of ATACMS , POPEYE , SLAM-ER , HARM , HARPY , JSOW and HARPOON block-II
good luck to enemies .... they will need it
Btw Israel is tiny country and Turkiye has enough technology and money to produce thousands of BORA , SOM , ATMACA , GEZGIN , AKBABA , KARGI , KGK-LR , KUZGUN , MRASHM , etc to harm Israeli military and strategic targets
Turkiye is not pathetic Arab Country who can not produce even Cruise Missile
1. Hellenic Air Force is already equipped with a number of American F-16 and French Mirage 2000 variants which will be upgraded by 2027. In fact, Hellenic Air Force will be receiving Rafale from France and F-35 from USA very soon. At this pace, Hellenic Air Force will be superior to Turkish Air Force years before TFX will come into play in the ongoing game of posturing and this is assuming that the British will help Turkey in developing TFX.
2. Greece is also seeking strategic partnership with France to counter Turkey in the Mediterranean Sea; Turkey cannot deal with these two powers put together in a hypothetical conflict.
My point? Greece is playing its cards right whereas Turkey is loosing its geopolitical acumen lately. If Turkey and USA are unable to reconcile in the near term, Greece will be in the position to dictate its terms in its ongoing dispute with Turkey not long from now. Turkey have problems with Egypt, UAE, Israel and Russia as well - imagine some of these countries joining France in assisting Greece in its claims in the Mediterranean Sea. You are not in the position to do a paradigm shift by embracing Russia in full capacity to your advantage because this will be at the expense of NATO membership and you will also have to cope with crippling sanctions and sabotaging activities from your enemies. Take cues from developments in Libya, Syria, Iraq and Iran. Want to end up like one of these?
I do not get your infatuation with posting lengthy lists of weapon systems (existing and imagined) in your responses TBH. You give the impression of being a marketing guy whose worldview is restricted to what he see in the showroom of his employer on a daily basis but does not understand competition, logistics, and management.
FYI
Although the full extent and details of Israel’s missile capabilities are difficult to ascertain, it is believed that the country has one of the most technologically advanced missile arsenals in the Middle East. Aided by foreign assistance and collaboration over the past six decades, Israel domestically produces numerous cruise and ballistic missiles, and has engaged in the export of missile systems to numerous other nations. While the bulk of Israel’s missile forces consist of shorter range, tactical systems, it also possesses a contingent of long-range ballistic missiles, the Jericho series, for strategic deterrence.

Please stop assuming that only Turkey have impressive military capabilities and others are toothless in comparison. Israel is small but it can wreck any country in an all-out exchange - do not be under any illusion.
I am sure that Israeli military bases are much better protected and prepared for numerous eventualities than some 'empty bases' in Syria and Iraq respectively.
Before you harp on what Turkey can do to a potential adversary in theory, please understand that Israel is closely monitoring developments in its neighborhood and have a good shot in figuring out that Turkey is up to something and do something about it. Israel is no stranger to these games in practice.
Turkey being a strong regional player in the present is not in doubt but said power is contingent upon having constructive partnerships with other countries and can erode in the absence of such. Please understand and try to see things beyond the lens of lists of military weapons.
