Unlikely given Turkey's partner status in the F35 programme, try harder with your cope.

I'm not saying this is surely going to happen.... this can be a possibility and you can never trust America when it comes to Israel....

On that we can both agree on.

Any system can be beaten if overwhelmed... that's not the point... it's like disarming country as much as possible to clear the skies for Israel

İn 2019 when Turkiye bought the S400s we had nothing to protect Turkish airspace

but now Turkiye has its own SIPER Air Defense System Family

and network centric SIPER will be more effective than the S400 (stand alone mode)

Range : 150+ km / 250+ km with booster
Altitude : 30 km
--450 km ALP-310G AESA Radar
-- Data link ( Link-16 , JREAP-C )


They think the F-35 is completely invisible.
The F-35's advantage lies against Fighter Jets with X band Radar

Turkiye has L-S-VHF/UHF band advanced Radars to detect the F-35 from 120+ km away

ALP-300G AESA Radar ( S band )
AN/FPS-117 AESA Radar ( L band )
Selex RAT-31DL AESA Radar ( L band )
also ALP-400G VHF/UHF band Radar .. ( under development )

An additional budget of $24 billion had been announced to produce indigenous Air Defense Systems including HISAR and SIPER

Americans suddenly releasing F35s to Turkiye and they will demand S400 to be transferred in Saudi, Qatar or some reports suggesting it may go to Pakistan.... so try to understand the game.... this is making skies clear for Israel.... first transfer S400 to any of above countries and once Israel attacks delay F35 deliveries....

Westerners are playing such dirty games since centuries and still Asia doesn't learn...

That’s probably my why a transfer to Azerbaijan is best for Turkey; close enough to be transferred back if need be.

1 -- If the US give 80 F-110 engines, 40 KAAN Fighter Jets can be delivered to the Turkish Air Force between 2029 and 2031.

All systems are getting ready including MURAD-600A AESA Radar , FEWS EW Suite , EOTS , IRST , 185-200+ km ramjet powered air to air Missiles


2 -- Turkiye was a global partner of the F-35 program and payment was made for 6 F-35s, and Turkish F-35s were produced.

since 2019 , 6 F-35s are being held in storage .
5 F-35s can be handed over to Türkiye as soon as possible after CAATSA sanctions are lifted

Türkiye should insist on getting the already built planes on Turkish soil before the end of the year, and the change in congress next year. Otherwise, the next congress will bury these birds in red tape, if only to punish Trump.
