So, how does Turkish Af measure against the Geeks? Does Turkey have a long term plan to eqal the hellenic AF or stick to base deterrent like its doing right now?

non of 4 planes are in service now, first plane is expected to accept at end of 2026 (realistically 2017) and the last one in 2028(?) , mr CEO is talking like his predessor mr Kotil.
Our plan is to equip all our F16s with Aselsan MURAD radar and GOKHAN ramjet missile. if we can achieve this until Greek F35 aquistion there is no Greek superiority in that field. When(if ever) they get F35 we would be very close to put KAAN in service.

I think he means the subconponents and integration and testing. I think we will see test flights soon.

Canadians have cut off arms exports for the most part towards Turkey. There were issues with getting Wescam sensors for the UAVs but Turkey made its own, I believe for the HAVA SOJ Turkey tried buying planes from Bombardier and the govt blocked it. I'm guessing Turkey found an alternative, maybe a Bombadier plane from a 3rd party or probably buying an Embrair.

F35 Turkey back in the game? 
Congress may consider revisiting the sale of F-35s to Turkey and the United Arab Emirates. Turkey was one of the eight original F-35 international partners on the F-35 program and is a member of NATO. The United States removed Turkey from the F-35 program in July 2019 for its purchase of the S-400 surface to air missile system—an acquisition which caused concern that Russia could obtain information concerning the F-35’s stealth capabilities. The U.S. imposed sanctions on Turkey using the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (P.L. 115-44).205 In January 2024, the U.S. resumed sales of F-16s to Turkey, which has renewed the discussion of whether Turkey could purchase F-35s. Congress could reconsider Turkey’s participation in the program. The United Arab Emirates reportedly withdrew its bid to buy F-35s after the Biden Administration delayed the deal over concerns about a UAE contract with the China-based 5G technology company Huawei.206 Congress could consider whether or not to support a sale of F35s to the UAE in the future

Not exactly. Greece has a mixture of second hand and newer Rafales. And Turkey is planning to buy a mix as well of second hand Eurofighters as well as brand new Tranche 4. Also Egypt is not really a hostile state, Turkey has cooperation with Egypt and has even offered the Hurjet to Egypt which has shown interest in many Turkish products.
As the Article states:
"Türkiye plans to acquire a total of 40 Eurofighter Typhoon Tranche 4 fighters in a 20+20 unit arrangement. These Tranche 4 aircraft, which represent the most advanced configuration of the Typhoon for aerial combat, will be remanufactured. However, Türkiye may also consider purchasing a small number of used Typhoon jets for training purposes, which is still under consideration."
