Until our AAM are ready we will have to shop in the US sadly. Let's hope Gökdogan's and Bozdogan's development doesn't take too long anymore and we can soon use locally made missiles making us a bit more independent.

PS: Are there any infos on how those missiles compare to the american made ones we are using atm?

145 AIM-120C-7s, all missiles to be delivered until 31 January 2020.

Afair gokdogan and bozdoğan had lower range when compared to their American counterparts. They were more similar to the early versions of the AIM series. But that is expected at first, we will keep on improving them in the later stages.

Far as I know, we only allow to use USA weapons on F35 s.
