F-35 is very bad option for Turkish Airforce
because , there are many problems between The US and Turkey in Iraq , Syria , Libya and in the Eastern Mediterranean
The US uses F-35 as political card against Turkey
so , without American permission flying computer F-35s even can not take off
and Turkey planed to buy 100 F-35A for $10 billion + $35 billion operating cost for the lifespan of 100 F-35s
total of $45 billion ... what a great money for Countries like Turkey
better to spend $45 billion to develop/produce the TF-X Fighter Jets and TRMOTOR Turbofan Engines
also to produce thousands of BORA,SOM,ATMACA,GEZGIN Ballistic/Cruise Missiles to hit all military targets in Greece , İsrael , Egypt , İran , etc
also to develop MIUS jet engine powered stealth UCAV which can carry AESA Radar , GOKDOGAN air to air missile , SOM cruise missile ( landd attack/anti-ship xcapabilities )
and to produce thousands of HISAR-O , GOKTUG-VL , SIPER , GUMS indigenous Air Defense Missiles and 7 TF-2000 class air warfare Destroyers also to buy S400 , S500 Air Defense Systems from Russia to create best Air Defense capability in the region
No need to attack to any target before they start it.
