If Greece , France , USA , Israel and their terrorists PKK-YPG , etc all together attack Turkish national security everywhere and threatens even our brothers in Turkish republic of Northen Cyprus

then President ERDOGAN reminds everyone " we can come suddenly one night "

None of the above attacks Turkish national security(except PKK). They simply want to defend against Turkish expansionism and neo-Ottoman dreams.

That's why Israel might be a serious obstacle for Turkey to get F-35s. Greece might complain,France might complain too,but it's Israel that has the biggest leverage when it comes to USA taking such decisions.

1 -- Greece-France attacked Turkish national security and interests in the Eastern Mediterranean

2 -- USA , France , Israel and their PKK-YPG attacked Turkish national security in Syria

3 -- Armenia attacked Turkish national security and interests in Karabakh/ Azerbaijan

4 -- France , The UAE , Russia backed HAFTAR attacked Turkish national interests in Libya

since 2013 , Turkiye in defensive role to protect its national security and interests against multi-national alliance


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

-- With Turkish military victories and diplomatic efforts , actors such as Egypt , Haftar and Syria moved from threat status to cooperation status

-- Armenia is now behaving more reasonably and constructively

-- France's provocative role was blocked

only Israel is chasing a dream, and as always, Greece is very keen on it.

Guys. Stop derailing the topic.

The Ambassador says you'll get it,the Secretary says no way,the President says maybe, the Israelis say nope. You still haven't secured the Eurofighter,so don't get too happy about it

Eurofighters are a done deal

 

[Eşbah]

Minister of National Defense General Yaşar Güler:

"The unit costs of the Eurofighter aircraft that Türkiye will acquire are at the same level as those of the countries included in the Eurofighter production consortium.

A significant portion of the contract price consists of ammunition and mission equipment.”

The Turkish Air Force has ordered a large quantity of all types of ammunition it can acquire. The number of Meteor air-to-air missiles, in particular, is quite high.

Unlike what many think, Türkiye isn't overpriced. It's nice to know, but those familiar with Turkish military procurement standards and tactics have noted from the start that Ankara likely placed a huge order for spare parts, missiles, equipment, and more. This assumption turned out to be correct.

Any date on the Qatari Eurofighters to Arrive? I heard 2026, and the Turkish Air Chief was in Doha a few days back and then flew to Oman, no doubt to discuss the Eurofighter transfer.

IIRC no public statement has been made yet. It is possible though that the Ministry of National Defense will make a public announcement once the planes are in the possession of TAF but this is just my guess.

Latest Position in Türkiye’s Eurofighter Procurement | TURDEF

Türkiye to acquire interim Eurofighter aircraft from Qatar and Oman while it moves forward with naval equipment purchases through the Seferihisar construction.

turdef.com

The Turkish government has established a clear path for Eurofighter Typhoon delivery which includes using Qatar and Oman aircraft until British manufacturers start delivering their new production models. The Ministry of National Defence states that this agreement follows the terms which President Erdoğan established during the signing event.

According to the ministry, the 12 aircraft to be procured from Qatar will be delivered after the contract signing, while the 12 aircraft from Oman will arrive following a modernisation process. No information has been released regarding the duration or cost of these upgrades. The interim fleet is expected to sustain airpower availability until UK-assembled Typhoons begin joining the Turkish Air Force inventory.

Defense aviation editor Tolga Özbek:

Qatar's modern Eurofighter aircraft equipped with AESA radars will, in my estimation, most likely be seen in 2026 with Turkish Air Force paint and the Turkish flag.

Oman aircraft, on the other hand, could join the inventory in the 2027-2028 period following AESA radar modernization.

The Turkish Air Force will have completed its preparations for brand-new factory-delivered Eurofighters starting from 2030, in terms of both pilots and maintenance as well as munitions.

I think his prediction for the Oman jets is too conservative, they will also come in 2026, maybe the upgrade happens later in 2027 with the AESA, but I see no reason to not have them delivered in 2026 to Turkey, for pilots to start flying them and familiarizing.

Turkish EF deal.
- First fighter will be delivered in 2030
- Turkish weapons will be intregated
- Turkish weapons will be sold to other EF users
- Meteor missiles
- Oman EF will be updated with ECRMK1 or MK2 radar
- Longterm maintance and overhaul will need another agreement(offset?)
