Don't believe a word until its on Turkish soil. But signs look good, especially when he told netanyahu to suck it up. lol

It needs to be done next year, b/c of midterm election, after that its very unlikely and will be blocked in congress. Get the 4 in storage delivered.

Seeing GOKCEADA from a distance of 225 km, the ASELFLIR 600 also said 'Hello' to neighboring Greece.



The ASELFLIR 600 Electro-Optical Sensor System has brought Greece under its coverage with images obtained from a distance of 225 km

It is known that Thessaloniki or Athens can be viewed very clearly from Turkiye via the ASELFLIR 600 integrated into the AKINCI UCAV


This brings a new level of long-range ISR capability for AKINCI and other platforms that can carry ASELFLIR 600. For reference, 225 km exceeds the range of some stand-off weaponry for AKINCI UCAV, like 150+ km IHA-230 , 150+ km CAKIR and 280 km SOM

also soon 500+ km 300-ER air launched Ballistic Missile with TV seeker to hit military and strategic targets

So provocative. You don't have sexy women in Samsun? You have to peek on ours?

Your RAFALEs are very sexy

to peek on Your RAFALEs at Tanagra air Base 38°20′23″N 23°33′52″E.

• 

Turkiye rules technology to see and to hit your RAFALEs even in your Jet Hangars

So provocative.

You are tooo skeptical. We love Greeks very much, so we're constantly looking out for you to make sure nothing happens to you!

You can always use Dendias's bald head to blind the camera, it works better than Shtora system on T-90 tanks. lol

Israel is negotiating with the USA to reduce capabilities of the F-35s to be sold to Türkiye

Increase the RCS ( Radar Cross Section )
Reduce the RAM ( Radar absorbing Material )
Reduce the Radar range
Reduce the processor speed



Israel says its technology will be excluded from Turkish F-35s
Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Sharren Haskel said that much of the advanced technology used in the F-35 originates from Israel and said this technology “will not be included in the F-35s that Turkiye will acquire.”

Another SİPER Air Defense System has been inducted into service



SİPER-1 has successfully completed a live-fire test for autonomous battery acceptance

In a demanding scenario where maneuvering friendly and hostile air elements were present simultaneously, the target was successfully destroyed

Turkey's bunker buster.

"Here it is, the new power of the Turkish army: NEB Hayalet. On land, it pierced through 7 meters of reinforced concrete, followed by 1.5 meters of sand block. It was dropped from an F-16 and descended 90 meters underground. One word: magnificent…"

Can ASOJ-23A stand off jammer Aircraft jam the F-35 ?

GROK says

Yes, the ASOJ-23A standoff jammer Aircraft could potentially jam or degrade the Radar and sensor performance of an F-35 under certain conditions


For directly jamming an F-35 : Possible in theory if the jammer detects and locks onto the F-35's emissions (during radar use or datalink). It could degrade Radar performance, disrupt missile guidance, or force the F-35 to rely more on passive sensors (like DAS infrared)


The first ASOJ-23A stand off Jammer Aircraft will be delivered to the TURAF in 2026

Can the SIPER Air Defense System prevent F-35s over the Aegean Sea ?

GROK says

Yes, the SIPER (SIPER -1/2) Air Defense System can seriously impede and deter 5th gen F-35s in the Aegean Sea — especially when used within an integrated network (Steel Dome)

Conclusion: SIPER-2 can "intercept" F-35s in the Aegean — meaning it makes their routine approaches to Turkish airspace/strategic points risky and costly, creating a deterrent.


In the Aegean Scenario, the chance of detecting

The F-35 could be countered by Early Warning Radar Systems VHF/UHF-supported AESA Radars like the ALP-300G deployed in the Aegean, which could "see" the F-35 from a longer range — because it is optimized against stealth X-band Radars, but weak against low-frequency radars. The SİPER's fire control Radar (X-band), however, would engage it from around 80–120 km after detection (a realistic estimate for stealth RCS).

Engagement and Strike: With a range of 150 km, it would prevent the F-35 from approaching the Aegean islands (Lesbos, Chios, Rhodes). If Greek F-35s (delivery plan 2028+) are to operate in the Aegean, they risk being engaged from 100+ km without deploying stand-off weapons.

Deterrence: Several batteries (e.g., around Izmir, Canakkale, Balikesir) + TF-2000/ISTIF Warships + AWACS integration would cover a large part of the Aegean. Although F-35s attempt to bypass them with low altitude + electronic warfare, SİPER-2's layered structure (with Hisar and Sungur) also intercepts Cruise missiles.

Can the S-400 intercept Greek F-16V and RAFALE in the Aegean Sea ?

GROK says

Yes, Türkiye's S-400 air defense System can seriously impede and deter Greek F-16V (Viper modernization) and RAFALE in the Aegean Sea


The S-400s delivered to Türkiye ( 4 batteries) are close to the standard configuration

Radar Range:
91N6E Big Bird (early warning) ~600 km ;
92N6E Grave Stone (fire control) ~250–340 km.

Missile Ranges:
48N6DM: ~250 km (against aircraft).
40N6E: ~380 km (limited in some sources)

-----------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Advantages:

4.5 generation Aircraft like the F-16V and RAFALE are not stealth aircraft — their RCS is easily detected by S-400 Radars

Deployment: S-400s deployed around Ankara (Akıncı) and possibly along the Aegean coast (suggested areas around İzmir/Çanakkale/Balıkesir) — covering the north and south of the Aegean. A battery near Çanakkale would even threaten aircraft flying over Athens

Layered Defense: S-400 + SİPER-2 (150+ km) + TF-2000/İSTİF Warships + F-16 /Eurofighter Jets → Multi-layered network. Greek Aircraft would be engaged before they even approach

Deterrence: S-400 batteries (32–48 missiles each) are effective against heavy attacks.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Conclusion: The S-400 could intercept Greek F-16V and RAFALE in the Aegean — making routine approaches risky, restricting air superiority operations, and creating deterrence
