Domestic capabilities and new technologies are rapidly changing the face of Turkish Air Force


ÖZGÜR PROGRAMME

The ÖZGÜR Programme is in line with TurAF requirements, and covers the modernisation and certification of an F-16C Block 30 (which did not receive the Peace Onyx III avionics upgrade) with a national avionic suite solution that combines an indigenous mission computer with a national operational flight programme and an optional AESA radar

All 35 F-16 block 30s in TurAF service where therefore expected to be completed by 2020










F-16 CCIP MODERNIZATION PROJECT

163 CCIP modernized F-16C/D block40/50 for $3,9 billion ( block 52 standard )

Link-16 System
Self-Protection Electronic Warfare Suite (SPEWS II)
Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing Systems (JHMCS)
AN/AVS-9 Night Vision Goggles (NVG)
Modular Mission Computer
Advanced interrogator/transponder
Integrated precision navigation
LCD Color MFDs
Improved AVTR System
ASELPOD Targeting Pod

AIM-120C7 air to air missile

One day it will be 100+, your lobbies are doing good job but even they have a limit, the current embargo isnt lasting, once the tensions ease you will see whats gonna happen.

Except maybe Israel buys that many F-35 to replace Turkey as consumer and manufacturing partner but thats not gonna happen, so enjoy your temporary joy.
 
.
Jointly developed by Aselsan - Tübitak Sage, the Aselsan MBs (Miniature Bomb) are waiting in TSK 1th Air Maintenance Factory Directorate for tests.

I wish I had never left Turkey and would be working in such projects!!!! Anyway, nothing is more embarrassing than claiming a right over something you have relinquished yourself...

How happy the new grads must be to heave such grand opportunities in such large scales...

PROJECT SIPER

Turkey hires 3 companies to build indigenous long range Air Defense System
The first deliveries are expected at the end of 2021

The program partners are state controlled military electronics specialist Aselsan, Turkey’s largest defense company state controlled missile maker Roketsan and Tubitak Sage, a defense specialist and part of Turkey’s state scientific research institute

HISAR-A low altitude Air Defense System by 2020
HISAR-O medium altitude Air Defense System by 2021



also to augment its long range defenses, Turkey decided in December to buy the Russian S-400 system
deployment of the S-400 will begin by October 2019
 
.
want to add some info about Hisar A and Hisar O. Program was commenced with agreement between SSB(former SSM) and Roketsan in 2012. Original due date was 2016 to complete whole systems ready. They couldn't finish the project and got extra time.

It was first air defence missile project of Turkey, some technical diffuculties are normal but it smells there are bad project management too. It is already end of 2018 but we dont have final products. They should have readied basic product and then take care further improvements.
