Some time ago i wrote @ WAFF about this kind of a thing... If i'm not wrong we were discussing the topic 'In near future there will be no manned jet fighters"... I said our air force should never do such a thing... We should never produce unmanned fighter jets but we should produce hybrid jets just like this F-16... Because if our enemies can control our unmanned jets then it means we can not move any of our jets... So in war time if we understand that enemy started to control our jets then we should cancel unmanned flights and our pilots should directly use our jets... The good thing of this hybrid solution is you are able to use jet above human limits... So we should start to work on such technologies when it's early enough... And also we should start 'human eye video camera project' so our pilot should see the area just like he is in the jet when he is in land station and there will be no hardship for our pilots, they will be safe and comfortable @ land bases... Who can do it ?.. Sure ASELSAN can do it... I think it's an additional kit only... So as i said above if enemy controls our jets then just remove kits from our jets and and let our pilots get in the cockpit...
News say project is about training but as we see capability it shouldn't be about training only but for real missions too...
And i thing the statemnt of US about F-35 is just a lie for misleading or it's a wrong statement... I'm talking about "F-35 is the last manned fighter jet" statement...
As i see future of fighter jets will be this F-16 project...
İlk pilotsuz F-16 teslim edildi!
