Turkey Retiring Its RF-4 Fleet

[BordoEnes]

dude we aree talking about 4 years which a world war can end.

Chill, the RF-4 were bound to be retired soon. Its not that big of a loss, since most of our F-4 will still be in service, the terminators atleast. The RF-4 were proven to be useless the moment one of our own got shot down by Syria. I rather have these old rusty cans retired then let our pilots fly in them risking their lives everyday.

Finaly, even though F-4 are awesome fighters and served our forces for 40 years they became flying coffins, not even modernizations can quarantee security anymore.

Now F-16s are lonewolves till we get our new toys in 4 years.

why would you not buy Jf-17 for replacement.
F-35 will probably take atleast 5 years.

Besides i dont think Turkey would go for an aircraft other than a western one.

Simplest answer to his query would be :

-because it would add no new capacity to Türkiye's AC inventory, IMHoO.

Sorry to have interrupted, farewell F-4 & bravo TuAF to have made it last this far.
