It would be hilarious if KAAN gets in dead end,Eurofighter deal cancelled and US sanctions imposed meaning not F-16Vs nor F-35.
Then we'll keep hearing MMM-E rumble day and night "even Kizilelma and ANKA-3 can destroy...."

and Your Keyword : İf ( wishful thinking )

1 -- KAAN is not in a dead end. on the contrary, two more KAAN have been produced

2 --No any problem with the Eurofighter procurement, and the training process for Turkish pilots is beginning in the UK

3 -- The US is not imposing any sanctions or obstacles on the sale of 40 F-16Vs, and even if it did, it wouldn't matter; Türkiye could place an additional order for Eurofighters instead of 40 F-16V

That's why I said it would be hilarious if all these programs failed somehow. Because you've been boasting every day about them as if you'll conquer the universe.

KAAN can only be delayed, not stopped.

Regardless, If they don't sell, Turkey will go to China.

Remember foinikas, when one door closes, another opens in an increasingly multipolar world.

The Western monopoly days are over. Options are rapidly expanding worldwide. We now have Chinese systems that are destroying western systems in actual combat, its unprecedented to see Eastern platforms exceed western platforms like we saw with the J-10Cs shooting down Rafales, and Rafales are France's current best, and the J-10C is like 4th tier for China after the J-20s, J-35s, J-16s. And not to mention the incoming J-36 and J-50s. Can someone really definitively say that Western 6th gen which aren't even at the prototype stage yet will exceed the Chinese systems? I don't think someone can definitively say that atleast.

This is what you have come to now? hoping for programs to somehow magically get embargoed? lol, the hilarity is that instead of Greeks actually countering, now they are just praying and begging that things get embargoed.

Baldy and FOINIKAS
Their only hope is that an extraterrestrial being will turn things around with a magical touch

Otherwise, they won't be able to boast every day about gaining air superiority.

I wonder if it happened like this ?
The experienced major Pilot could have ejected. Probably due to a technical malfunction after takeoff , our heroic Pilot wanted to land the F-16 on the Istanbul-Izmir highway, but He couldn't because of the traffic

If Türkiye can acquire the Kaan fighter jet to its desired standards, it will gradually phase out both EF-2000s and F-16s from its inventory. However, this operation will take a considerable amount of time.

What is the actual status of Kaan ?
We saw a first flight (not so potent : undercarriage down, flight straight) and no more news since.
