Turkey is willing to give its S-400 away to get F-35.
Problem is Israel will not allow Turkey to ever get F-35 again. Turkey should have taken its chance when it had it, but Erdogan set the country back with his stupid policies.
The only thing Turkey has left is its own TFX 5th gen program, but that is heavily supplied by western components and will sabotaged somehow by Mossad.
Israel has Turkey in its sights and only matter of time till they start the propaganda against Turkey.
So Turkish, Saudi, Egyptian and Pakistani AF's is obsolete because Israel has squadron of F35's? Is this a joke? Or because some don't have long range US provided BVR missile ? None of us here have Air Force experience.
Avonics and weapons systems of Saudi , Turkish, Pakistani, Egyptian AF is not public knowledge.
Not to mention everyone has taken these into scenarios. A preemptive strike in future conflict may be necessary to delibitate Israeli AF capabilities.
If US radars in region are genuinely being eroded away at, eventually this makes Israel eyes more invisible like they were invisible on border with Gaza on Oct 7.
And this stronger nations may need to train Syrians and Lebanese for airborne operations to take over Israeli airbases on the ground.
It shouldn't come down to air to air battle unless military planners have zero creativity. I think they have creativity but US response may be unpredictable for them and maybe even Israeli.
Will US mount ground operations against entire Levant region and Egyptian coast from Europe if that happens ? Will Europe allow it or cooperate ? What kind of threats will Israel make before threatening use of wmds ? Will they panic and go straight to making such threats or will they panic, stand down and ask for US and European reinforcements ?
What if we wait until around 2029. What if US falls into civil war around that time ? Does it change equation? What if we can convince Jewish people safe exit passage and to stand down from threatening use of nuclear weapons ?
This is not a easy feat and lives of hundreds of millions could be at stake and it's not an easy responsibility for anymore. We aren't necessarily going to lose such many people but the economic fall out and potential sanctions related fall out could put large number of Muslim population into a crisis
