if the US block 100 F-35s to TURAF so what ?
to wait the TF-X fleets for 15-20 years to reach operational capability ?
Turkish Airforce becomes another Iranian Airforce .... outdated F-4s and singel engine old F-16s ... nothing else
even Egyptian Airforce will have 50 MIG-29M2 , 24 SU-35 , 36 Rafale and 24 Eurofighters in a few years
even I am not talking about Israeli Airforce ..... and Russian SU-35s always blocked Turkish F-16s in Syria
Qatar buys 36 F-15 , 36 Rafale and 24 Eurofighters ... 96 new Fighter Jets
1) in 2017 Qatar signed a deal to buy 36 F-15 Fighter Jets
F-15 delivery started in 2020 and be completed by 2021
2) in 2015 Qatar signed a deal to buy 36 RAFALE Fighter Jet
RAFALE delivery started in 2019 and be completed by 2020
TURAF needs urgently new Fighter Jets to replace outdated F-4s and for air superiority Fighter
so TURAF can have 48 F-15 or Eurofighter in 5 years ....
F-16 is outdated crap bird to match with F-15 , Rafale , Eurofighter and SU-35 in the region
even Greek Mirage-2000s beat Turkish F-16s in dog fight ..... TURAF needs twin engine real fighter as like F-15 or Eurofighter
Turkiye never will have F-35s under Erdogan .... and in 2023 Erdogan again will win the election to rule Turkiye until june 2028
forget about the F-35 ... even F-35 is very bad option for TURAF ... without American permission flying computer F-35s even can not take off
and Turkiye planed to buy 100 F-35A for $10 billion + $35 billion operating cost for the lifespan of 100 F-35s
$45 billion ... what a great money for Countries like Turkiye
F-15X would cost about $27.000 per hour to fly, well below the $44.000 an hour to fly the F-35A
and Boeing claims that the F-15X will have a whopping 20.000 hour service life , by comparison the F-35 was built to serve only 8.000 hours
What a great Fighter against Russian SU-35 , Egyptian Rafales and Eurofighters
-- APG-63(V)3 AESA Radar
-- AN/AAS-42 Tiger Eyes IRST
-- ROBUST digital electronic warfare suite
-- Fly-by-wire control systems
-- World's fastest mission computer
F-15QAs will be able to carry 16 AIM-120 AMRAAM and 4 AIM-9X Sidewinder air to air missiles
Russia is against Turkiye in Syria and Libya
France and Israel will use Egypt-Greece alliance against Turkiye in Libya and in the Eastern Mediterranean
and still TURAF will use outdated F4s and old F-16s until the TFX ( 15-20 years ) ......
even tiny Qatar will have F-15 , Rafale and Eurofighter
even poor Egypt will have SU-35 , Rafale and Eurofighter
S.Arabia has F-15 and Eurofighter
G-20 Country Turkiye still use outdated crap F-4s ...
Nobody will wait for 20 years to attack Turkiye
in a few years we will see France,the Uae(Israel) backed Egypt-Greece alliance military action against Turkiye .. even puppet SISI is now threatens Turkiye to use military force in Libya
btw our Naval projects also very slowly ......... our leaders and generals maybe sleeping
