Can Turkey integrate local equipment and ammo to the F-35?

[TheMightyBender]

Aside from the SOM can we integrate local equipment such as gokdogan and bozdoğan to the F-35?

[Mr.Department]

SOM is F-35 ready and in certification.

 

[TheMightyBender]

I know. that is why I said "aside from SOM"

I am not expert for F-35 systems. There are only some people in Turkey e.g. Arda Mevlütoglu.
But F-35 is stealth and weapon bays are not under wing , but closed in the plane. Thank you

 

[TheMightyBender]

Yes you are absolutely right that weapons are in the bays. But i didn't get the point.

 

[Mr.Department]

Yes you are absolutely right that weapons are in the bays. But i didn't get the point.

I wanted to say, that we have other missiles and gliding precise wing bombs, but only SOM is in certification;
I don't know, whether the other weapons can be integrated in F-35.

 

[Oublious]

Turkish air to air missiles are similar to sidewinder and amraam. So i don't see a problem.

 

[TheMightyBender]

The problem I have in mind is not technicality, it is legality of the issue. I think you should take a special permission from the US if you want to integrate your own equipment. For example Israel took one such permission. I wonder if we took such a permission, otherwise the US might decide to be a jerk when we need to do it.

They like to slow down whatever progress Turkey makes in its effort to be more self sufficient.

Same procedure as for SOM. You need certification by Lockheed Martin.

 

[Mr.Department]

certification by Lockheed Martin

Absolute right. Same is for Kongsbergs JSM.

But afaik you can test them, if you can integrate them in the planes systems. I guess it was Turan Oguz, not sure now, who wrote you have to make the planes systems believe that its e.g. Sidewinder and not its Turkish "clone". It was related to Turkish Phantoms and F-16s.

If you know the source code of sidewinder, you can emulate it, yes.

What air to air missiles does Turkey have?
