Featured Greece getting 18 Rafales, 8 are free from France

[Pakistan Space Agency]

France made so much money out of corrupt India, they can afford to give a few away for free.

18 aircraft doesn't tilt the balance. Just as 36 indian aircraft don't. Plus don't forget pilots. Last time remember Cyprus

So Turkey should go the Iranian way and focus on air defences and ballistic missiles, and forget about building a potent/credible air force since it's not that important.

it is not our fault, US blocked the sale of at least ~50 mig-29 to us...i mean we even bought f-7s and it was not because of their quality and superiority.

 

[Mithridates]

Will the Ex-French Rafales be upgraded or are they already at F3?

*f-4

LoL at free Rafales . While India gets refurnished Rafales with bad paint job for 200 million a pop. Just shows the level of confidence french have in these jets. They are effectively trying to dump this jet to make room for next gen fighters. I would expect french making selling off rest of their stock while they opt of F35. Seriously who would want a fighter which is even more expensive than top of the line stealth fighter.

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Turkey will be making their own fighter Jets in few years

 

[EpiiC]

Turkiye develops its own TFX Fighter Jet .... even in 2029 , 4,5+ generation TFX Fighter Jet will be enough to match with Greek F-16V and Rafale , also Egyptian SU-35 and Rafale

and Turkish Ballistic and Cruise Missiles can destroy Greek air base which will host Rafale Fighter Jets in hours ..... and GAME OVER !

also if needed , Turkiye can activite S400 Air Defense Systems in 48 hours to turn RAFALEs into crap of metal
also Turkish SIPER long range and high altitude Air Defense System will be ready in 2023
and Turkish HISAR-O Air Defense System is ready to intercept Fighter Jets and Cruise Missiles


also Turkiye will build 7 TF-2000 class air warfare Destroyers armed with 64x HISAR and 32x SIPER air defense missiles with 450 km CAFRAD naval AESA Radar to block Eastern Mediterranean against Fighter Jets



Greece never can match with regional super power Turkiye

4.5 Generation TFX Fighter might be a match for f-16v and Rafale but still behind F-35... It was a massive blunder to buy s400 over the f-35...... f-35 > s400 any second of the day. Turkey isn't a regional super power. Greece doesn't even respect it. Israel has superior Air force. With all due respect I wish Turkey was more powerful so that it could put some rogue states in its place but this won't happening any time soon.

 

[EpiiC]

Well, at least they got the S-400 air defence system. So guess for them it's a better deal than the F-35 overall.

There is no way S-400 is better than F-35.... F-35 is revolutionary. Better than any other plane except f-22 which can't be exported.

 

[EpiiC]

Turkiye doesnt attack the West , but the West attack Turkiye .....
even the West should say Thanks to Turkiye who saved Europe from 4 million Syrian Refugees ..... and in NATO only Turkish Army fought against ISIS and Turkiye blocked over 70.000 foreign fighters to enter Syria for joining ISIS



and if Turkiye ally with Russia,Iran,Pakistan,China , then bye bye the US,the UK in the Middle East , in the Eastern Mediterranean and in the Black Sea

Do you think Turkiye has NO money to buy Russian-Chinese weapons ? only between 2012-2020 Turkiye spent over $60 billion for humanitarian aid to muslim countries

Turkiye would buy 250 of SU-35 and MIG-35 Fighter Jets with thousands of air to air missiles and supersonic cruise missiles also more 10 of S400 Air Defense System batteries and dozens of BASTION supersonic coastal defense missiles for $45 billion



but Turkiye develops around 700 military projects for over $60 billion

Bro you're not getting it, Russian and Chinese make 2nd rate equipment, Turkey it self may be able to make better stuff than China. F-35 is out of range for China/Russia/Turkey/India . Nobody but America can make it.

Turkey in each case requires modern jets in short to medium term in order to face not Greece but it's allies also. The adversaries of Turkey like Egypt, UAE and Greece already have Rafale, Mig 35. Mirage 2000 customized & Block 60 F16.

The most realistic approach for Turkey is to upgrade it's own F16s if have provision as per purchase terms equivalent to V upgrade as well as look for F31, J10 (Chinese) or Su35/57 Russian option. Sams no matter how much modern cannot replace fighter jets.

 

[shadow forces]

Turkey kicked it self out from f35.. Now its left with what options !

they weren't getting f35 anyway, do you really think USA will ditch its allies in the region like KSA, UAE and israel to give F35s to turkey? i dont think so

 

[shadow forces]

lol @8 free i think all these goons are hell bent on ganging up against turkey.

giving free 8 says alot may be thats what rafale is worth ?? india has alot to think about

 

[khansaheeb]

These French frogs and their shenanigans. LOL at 8 free Rafale fighters.

The French are giving out the Rafales like confetti, the Indians must be gutted and wondering what have they bought.

 

[Cookie Monster]

Thats not an option ..it will hurt their own program

Better try to get more f16

I thought I read somewhere that Turkey was working on its own F16 block 70 equivalent.
