I think 230 F16s and 40 F4s aren't enough anymore against the current level of threats.
There's a coalition against us in the eastern mediterranean.
We need more planes as soon as possible. Not training aircraft, proper fighter jets.
And since the USA isn't willing to sell us, we need to look for other partners. Gripen and Typhoon are good candidates but that may not work due to political reasons. We may have to negotiate with Russia for Su-57
GRIPEN -E/F has American Engine .. USA can block sale of GRIPEN -E/F to Turkey
48 Eurofighters with METEOR Missile would be enough to counter threats
but We are fighting with The EU in the Eastern Mediterranean
there is arms embargo on Turkey by The EU ... ( Germany can block sale of Eurofighter to Turkey )
Russia did not allow Turkey to use Turkish avionics , electronics and weapons on SU-35
and if we now signed a deal to buy Fighter Jets , minimum 5 years to wait for deliveries
in 5 years TURAF will have enough capability to match with Greek Rafale in BVR combat
-- Aselsan GaN based AESA Radar for F-16s
-- MIUS unmanned Fighter Jet with low RCS
-- GOKHAN ramjet engine long range air to air Missile
also S400 Air Defense Systems will protect Turkish F-16s and MIUS over the Eastern Mediterranean
Turkish F-16s will be under S400 protection
İf Greece has Rafale , Turkey has S400
the most important thing is ramjet engine long range air to air Missile in BVR combat , not platform
Egyptian Rafales armed with 60km MICA-RF a2a missiles and no any chance in BVR combat against Turkish F-16C armed with 120 km AIM-120C7 a2a missiles
if Greek Rafale armed with METEOR ramjet engine long range air to air Missiles
TURAF F-16s also will have same BVR capability with GOKHAN ramjet engine long range air to air Missile
We should focus on MIUS unmanned Fighter Jet with stealth capability
and to arm MIUS with GOKHAN ramjet engine long range air to air Missiles
even 600 km EIRS AESA Radar can guide GOKHAN Missiles to engage on Rafale , F-15 , F-35 , SU-35 in the region
also TURAF has 4 Boeing E-7T AEWC which can detect Rafale 300+ km away
