A word of advice to the Turks: the world is not built on lies or wishful thinking. The spirits of nations and soldiers are destroyed when power is based on illusion and misleading propaganda.
The Turks must possess even a shred of credibility for anyone to believe their claims, which have become increasingly absurd.
What the Turks are saying is a series of repeated lies, which have been ongoing for three years. Let's clarify things simply:
How many Turkish aircraft are equipped with AESA radar as of January 20, 2026? How many Turkish aircraft have been upgraded with the F-16 Ozgur-2 system? Zero, of course. How many Turkish F-16V aircraft have they received from the US? The deal has been on hold for a year and a half. The only thing the Turks have implemented is a $10 billion deal with the British to sell them 20 aircraft.
We will be generous with the Turks and say that they have upgraded 35 old F-16s with the F-16 Ozgur system, although it hasn't been proven that even 5 of them have been delivered.
In short, the Turks do not have any upgraded F-16 fighters that have entered service. They do not have any Turkish missiles. The BVR is in service with a range of 180 kilometers, as they claim. Turkish superiority exists only in the imaginations of Turkish teenagers. No deals have been signed for 120 F-16s, F-35s, or Eurofighters. Only 20 Typhoons. Oman has not announced the export of any older Eurofighter Typhoon fighters to Turkey or Britain for refurbishment. Oman will not deliver any fighters before the Rafale contract is signed. Qatar has not delivered anything. The Americans have not agreed to deliver F-110 engines for mass production for the Turkish national project, whose development program, which requires years, has not been completed.

The Turks have equipped their F-4 aircraft with advanced paints that make them superior to other air forces in the region.
The Turks never tire of repeating the lies of imaginary superiority and their supposed control, while in reality they live in terror of the Israeli Air Force, which crushes them mercilessly in Syria should any Turk even think of raising their head or announcing their presence there.
As for repeating the same old rhetoric for years, it has become utterly ridiculous, and no one is convinced. The talk about the Turks getting anything is nonsense. Their air force is slowly dying, and their development programs are immature. They threaten with their power while empty-handed, becoming a laughingstock among armies and nations. They should shut up and be very quiet because they keep repeating trivial talk about equipment that hasn't even entered service. They keep saying they'll get it, that they've already secured it, and every year they postpone delivery dates to the following years. So, in terms of real military balance, the Turks are incapable of competing with or challenging any country except Syria, which possesses nothing. The Greeks have upgraded more than 62 F-16V aircraft to date. They have received 24 Rafale F3R fighters. They have received 10 M346 aircraft equipped with AESA radar.
They haven't stopped negotiating and contracting for new fighters, and time is on their side because the program to upgrade 83 F-16V aircraft is nearing completion. Deliveries of F-35s to Greece will begin in 2028.

There's a huge difference between parroting empty words like parrots without any real presence on the ground, any credibility, or any proof. We explained to the Turks previously that any war they enter now, or even until 2030, will result in their merciless aerial annihilation because they possess nothing real or complete. That's why they still rely on F-4 fighters to this day. It's all propaganda and propaganda that no one cares about or believes anymore. All we hear is propaganda, but nothing real or factual except for Turkish inflated egos and propaganda that actually encourages their defeat in any conflict because wars are fought with operational equipment, not with the words of children and teenagers. The Turks should either have credible and factual information and operational equipment, not dreams, wishes, illusions, and fantasies, or they should remain completely silent.
Turkey is a failed tool for fragmenting Middle Eastern countries, and its attempts to deviate from its assigned role have led to a ban on developing its air force by the US and Europe. Furthermore, they will not allow the Turks to surpass the capabilities of the Greek air force. Therefore, Greece is effectively developing its air force at a faster pace. Turkey will not receive any F-35 fighter jets due to the objections of Greece and Israel. Consequently, it will not receive any aircraft before 2030, even if any deal is signed. The same applies to the F-16V fighters. Since January 2024, the US has announced its desire to export 40 F-16V fighters. Now, at the end of January 2026, the Turks have only received the middle finger of the F-16V from the US. No deal has been signed, and there is no US approval for the F-110 engines. Negotiations could continue for many years until the US shuts down the F-16V production line. This confirms that the Turks should remain silent and only speak out upon receiving the fighters, because their claims of superiority have only been witnessed in the strikes they have suffered in Syria. Libya is from Israel and Egypt, while the paper tiger is the only one present in this forum.
