no, where did you hear this story?Is Turkey negotiating on EF-2000s from the EU? And how many will they acquire initially.
Somewhere over YouTube. It says Turkey is now seriously considering it as to move away from the USA-built machines. And this will allow UK to sell them EJ-200 engines for TFX Program.no, where did you hear this story?

Wish it was true but it's not. We are in a very difficult situation in the eastern mediterranean. Israeli F35s are very active in Syria. And Greek Rafales are the latest version. Power balance is against us and we need an immediate response if the crisis in the mediterranean turns hot.Turkey will upgrade ther F16 fleet with AESA radar, 200 F16 will be upgraded with latest EW and Radar. Ther is no need for another fighter untill TFX is ready.
I don't know what it will be, Su57 or Typhoon or Gripen NG. But we need something. Now.
I think the reason why this "we don't need anything" narrative is being pushed is because Erdoğan doesn't want to lose face for getting Turkey kicked out of the F35 program.

Yeah I know it's not easy. But It's still necessary. We were supposed to have the ALTAY by 2016, it's been 5 years and still no tank. There will be delays in the MMU project too I can guarantee you that.Our latests radar will have more TR module then the F35, it will close the gap between the countries. TFX will be game changer. If you buy today a fighter you will use it 3 years later at least, educating people. You have to build a new logistics. It is not easy, Turkish AESA upgrade is not less theb Viper upgrade of Lockheed.
pathetic.-- also Qatar will deploy up to 36 Fighter Jets in Turkey ( Rafale , Eurofighter and F-15QA ) game changer move from Turkey-Qatar

in 2030 when Israel and Greece both have sizable F35 fleets you're hoping to compete over eastern mediterranean with TR modules? Please.
We need something. Tyhphoon, Gripen NG, Su57. Pick one.
And it's not only about quality, we need quantity too.
I already said it, it's not just quality, it's the quantity too. We need more fighters simple as. Typhoon does supercruise, has more thrust, which means better launch parameters for AIM120. Also is supermaneuverable and carries more payload due to Delta wing + canard layout. Gripen NG is not stealth but has has a reduced Radar signature, can take off from unprepared landing strips. Which is a strategic advantage. These are just the advantages of the airframes I'm not gonna get into avionics and weapons. Rest assured, these are both superb aircraft.You should explain me what kind advance typhoon or Gripen would do against F35 or Rafale. And why a F16 with latests Aesa radar and sensors will not do the job? Turkish Viper upgrade are all in the sky and they are testing it. I don't see a reason why we should buy a foreigner fighter.
pathetic.
There's a saying in Turkey. You can't have sex with your wife using someone else's dick.

Do you have autism? serious question.Greek Rafale and F-35 can not change anything against Turkey
There's a saying in Turkey "Kedi ulaşamadığı ciğere mındar der"The F-35 is bad choice for turkish air force
The Director of Operational Tests and Evaluation of the Pentagon had again identified 871 deficiencies concerning the F-35 fighter of Lockheed-Martin, including ten of category n ° 1, that is to say that, according to the definition of the US Air Force, they can "cause death or serious injury, loss or serious damage" .
F-35A fighter jet engine wears out faster than expected .
20% of US Air Force F-35As could run out of engines by 2025, especially if no corrections are made.
According to official figures, the cost of an hour's flight on an F-35 is $ 36,000. Lockheed-Martin assured that this amount would be reduced to $ 25,000, which General Kelly said doubted. What's more, the device's availability rate is said to be 69%, which is well below the 80% demanded by the Pentagon, according to Defense News.
The F-16 "Viper" presents interesting capacities, or, at least, likely to match the needs of the US Air Force in the future while waiting for the 6 th generation aircraft
“If we have the ability to do something even more efficient for less and faster, why not? Let's not just buy off the shelf, let's take a look at something else we can build, ”General Brown told reporters.
The F35 would come over too expensive to the interview for Turkey and without much benefit in the end.
Ankara made the right choice to eject the program believe well
