Turkish fighter purchase of F-35, F-16 and Eurofighter
- Thread starter Ashwin
- Start date
They will have the mk-2 radar and will be on par with f-35's and f-15EX in terms of operational capabilities.
So tomorrow if war breaks out between NATO & Russia , UK is effectively reduced to a by stander.
OTOH , being a nation of shopkeepers , perfidious Albion may have calculated that since NATO is all about collective defence , why not sell some Eurofighters to the ice cream sellers at an exorbitant price for if push comes to shove Doner Kebab sellers will be forced to deploy those very FAs as per the terms of the treaty .
Little Britain is virtually scraping the bottom of the barrel to reduce debts & meet its social welfare obligations . FTAs , including prostitution in its GDP figures , this export to the in breds , etc are all part of the same policy.
Where's Paddy when you need him ?

I really think it's all a meme. Turkey is posturing they will stick with the f-16's and beg the americans for the engines. It's all a lie.
Or it could simply be that like the US, the Eurofighter has conditions of use, and Germany has banned some weapons
The Eurofighter 4,5 gen, performs well in exercises, but like everything else, loses to the F-35
Not everyone has less morals than an illegal arms dealer

A Turkish fighter jet crashed shortly after takeoff early Wednesday, killing the pilot, state media reported, citing the defence ministry.
Radio and tracking information with the aircraft, which took off from Balikesir at 12:56 am (2156 GMT Tuesday), was lost soon after departure, the ministry said according to the official Anadolu Agency.
A search and rescue operation was launched and the wreckage was located.
"Our pilot was martyred. The cause of the accident will be determined following an investigation by the crash examination team," the ministry said, offering condolences to the pilot's family.
