There are no contracts yet to purchase 40 new F-16V , 79 VIPER modernization kits and huge ammunition package too
Because the negotiations are still ongoing
Turkiye doesnt want to buy Engines .... Turkiye wants to produce GE F-404 Engines under license by TEI
even Turkiye wants to produce 40 new F-16V under license by TAI
The final contract will be signed when negotiations reach the necessary maturity as a result of Turkiye's requests
So you agree with me that there are no contracts, so how can you export aircraft that do not have insurance for their engines? You want to export a T-129 to Pakistan.
You don't know how dangerous it is for Turkey to delay getting a new aircraft
The remaining F-4 aircraft are overdue and flying them is extremely dangerous
The Turkish F-16 fleet is decreasing sharply
Greece is selling old F-16 fighters to America and selling MIRAGE-2000-5 to India
In return
Greece wants to add more RafaleF4/5 fighters and will add an additional squadron of M346FA aircraft
They are preparing funding to raise the number of F-35s to 40 as soon as possible
Despite the enthusiasm of the Turks a few days ago, I found a video that was talking about the Turkish problem of the vagueness of the KAAN project and that if they returned to the F-35 program, they would cancel the KAAN project
You don't understand that the Americans do not offer anything for free, but always by force and coercion
When the Americans found that Egypt had closed the page on developing the Egyptian F-16
And Egypt rejected the F-15EX fighters because Egypt requested that the missile be integrated AIM-260 and of course the Americans refused
Egypt turned to the Chinese fighter package and because they found that Egypt had signed actual contracts
Egypt understood the game and that American pressure on the Koreans made Egypt ignore the Koreans and receive messages that its relationship with North Korea is more stable than its relationship with South Korea and that there is an alternative to the T-50 aircraft and less than half the price and that a combination of the L-15AW & J-10C is better for Egypt operationally and financially than a combination of the T-50 & FA-50 and that solutions to develop the F-16 with components developed from the FA-50 components are better than quickly engaging in the FC-31 program
Resubmitting new offers to Egypt under study now, including
A reduced discount program for Egypt, for example, Egypt obtaining the APG-83 radar at a low price like what the US Air Force gets $3.5 million, integrating non-US ammunition for air-to-air combat missiles and other ammunition because simply American companies still see the program to develop 140 F-16 aircraft Egypt is an opportunity that should not be wasted
Accelerating the implementation of C-130J, CH-47F and AH-64E contracts
Passing a package of surplus weapons to Egypt
Egypt has forced America for 11 years to separate Egypt's purchase of weapons from different countries and America
The Americans themselves have confirmed that canceling the SU-35 deal would be much worse than Egypt not getting it
The Russians did not offer Egypt the SU-57E aircraft and Egypt canceled the SU-35 deal
This narrative only does not clarify that the United States does not accept anything except under pressure, and with this Egypt will complete the deals with the Chinese and Russians for a very simple reason America wants to dismantle the countries of the Middle East and it is the one that moves Israel and because Samar knows very well that it deals with the Americans as if they are the main enemy but with a wide smile as they announce day and night that Egypt is their ally Egypt also smiles and says yes but the two parties are completely against each other, Egypt is a member of BRICS and wants to get rid of the dollar by exchanging currencies with many From the countries, that is, your most important interests are against the interests of America.
America had announced that if there was no Israel, America would have created Israel. Consequently, Egypt's policy is to gradually eliminate Israel, exhaust it, and then destroy it. Destroying it requires providing Egypt with weapons that the Americans will never provide.
So what I have explained is the danger of the Turks relying on the Americans, but rather providing an alternative. I will give you a simple example. If the Americans find the Turks contracting an alternative to the American fighters, American policy with the Turks will change. You must make the pressure more intense on America to get what you want or provide an alternative.
If Turkey postpones its contract with America until next year, this will mean that the Turks will not get fighters from America until three years later. The alternative to the American GE F-404 engine can be provided by the Turks by replacing it with another engine, but that will also take years. Therefore, the Turks are facing a major dilemma, which is that air superiority in the Aegean Sea has become completely Greek.
Drones cannot become an alternative to fighters. It takes many years and combat battles to prove that. Otherwise, it is children's dreams. And an attempt to create the illusion of superiority with these games against fourth and fifth generation fighters without any evidence on the contrary, the size of the drones, the development programs for electronic warfare systems against them is very widespread and diverse, and a lot of spending is being done on them by countries because it has become a type of passive defense required in addition to defending against them with air defense systems that are increasingly widespread. Unfortunately, the Turks do not have the ability to directly target the J-10CE aircraft, and the justification is that it does not compare to the American fighters. I would like to tell you that China is offering versions that are even better than the version it supplied to Pakistan with additional improvements in the radar and the avionics package, and even one of the Americans was talking about China developing the structure by reducing the weight as well to ensure that the aircraft keeps pace with the RAFALE and Eurofighter Typhoon fighters. The only chance for the Turks is to try to exploit the weakness of the current economic meta to obtain the Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft, but this will require 4 years to become a reality because the negotiations have not yet begun, and the negotiations for the fighters require long periods. Egypt has been negotiating on J-10 aircraft since 2022. Chinese delegations visited the Arab Authority For manufacturing since one year, providing offset suitable for Egypt
This analysis agreed with large parts of it regarding China will work on further developing the aircraft to extend its regional influence as well as compete in global markets
