Egypt : F-16 , MIG-29M2 , Rafale ... ( F-15 and Eurofighter on agenda )
Greece : F-16 , Mirage-2000 , Rafale ... ( F-35 on agenda )
Iran : buys 24 SU-35s
What about Turkiye ?
235 F-16s
40 new F-16 block70 on agenda
KIZILELMA unmanned stealth Fighter Jet
TFX air superiority Fighter Jet ... ( in service by 2028 )
Turkiye joined F35 project in 2002 to replace F-4 , F-16 block30s in 2020s
but USA blocked 100 F-35A to Turkiye
The US administration is considering selling F-16s to Turkiye
-- 40 new F-16 block70
-- 79 F-16 modernization to the Viper standard
-- AIM-120D Air to Air Missiles
APG-83 AESA Radar and 160 km AIM-120D air to air misssile will increase BVR combat capability of the Turkish Air Force
AIM-120D ( range of 160 km )
OZGUR F-16 Modernization .. block70 standard ( up to 115 F-16s )
It is aimed to equip 35 F-16 Block 30 Fighter Jets with a unique mission computer with national avionics and national OFP software
( up to 115 F16s as per December SSIK decision to go ahead with national F16 modernization)
MURAD AESA Radar and Indigenous air to air misssiles will increase BVR combat capability of the Turkish Air Force
GOKDOGAN solid BVR
GOKHAN Ramjet BVR
Indigenous projects are so important for modernization of the Turkish Air Force
HURJET nex gen light attack Fighter Jet
First flight : 2023
In service : 2025
AESA Radar and 2.700+ kg payload to carry most modern missiles to turn HURJET into lethal platform against enemy Naval Forces
-- 150 km TOLUN-IIR
-- 150 km CAKIR
-- 180 km KUZGUN-TJ
-- 275 km SOM
TAI TISU ( ANKA-3 ) unmanned stealth Bomber
First flight : 2023
SEAD/DEAD role
Strategic strike
Deep strike
The V-shaped aircraft does not have horizontal and vertical stabilisation to reduce its RCS
MTOW : 7 tons
Speed : mach 0,7
internal weapon stations
KIZILELMA unmanned stealth Fighter Jet
First flight : 2022
Mass production : 2025 .. maybe earlier
KIZILELMA has same advanced characteristics as 5th-generation Fighters
-- High situational awareness with EOTS and AESA Radar
-- Stealth design featuring a low radar signature
-- Internal weapon bay for stealth flight capability
-- Smart fleet autonomy equipped with artificial intelligence
there will be 2 engined supersonic variant
Stealth capability , AESA Radar and 100+ km GOKDOGAN air to air missile to turn KIZILELMA into lethal platform
Turkiye to produce 7 KIZILELMA in price of 1 F-35
TF-6.000 and TF-10.000 Turbofan Engines to power unmanned Fighter Jets
TF-X ( MMU ) Fighter Jet
First flight : 2023
In service : 2028
TF-X ( MMU ) air superiority Fighter Jet but also has ground attack, electronic warfare capabilities to match with Rafale , Eurofighter , F-16V , F-15 , SU-35 in the region
BURFIS AESA Radar and GOKHAN ramjet powered long range air to air missile will increase BVR combat capability of the Turkish Air Force
-- TFX to have great AESA Radar with GaN technology .. ( 2.000 T/R modules )
-- TFX to have advanced and integrated mission computer
-- TFX to have sensor fusion with EOTS , IRST with unique configuration
-- TFX is autonomous .. The pilot can leave the task entirely to TFX
-- TFX to have auto pilot technology
if the Pilot faints , TFX can return to the base and land on
-- TFX has stealth design
-- TFX has composite body for stealth capability
-- TFX to have RAM paint to reduce RCS
-- TFX carry missiles in internal weapon bay for stealth capability
