Again, the difference is not that significant. We have 240+ F16s all minus some block 40s upgraded to Block50+ level with latest radars available in CCIP. Israel started developing her own upgrades for their aircraft earlier than us but our home-made weapons and avionics will be entering service in coming months i hope. You can check sticky threads above for more information. In conclusion, we are not sitting here and waiting for Americans to finish F35, we have plans of our own.
And if you doubt the skill of our pilots, all you have to do is to fly near Turkish air-space and i guarantee you, there is a good chance you will get your ***** handed over to you on a platter.
Isnt this thread all about IAF flying into Turkish airspace and not being shot
