AN/ALE-40 isn’t that a flare dispenser?

I wouldn’t go that far.

Yes

Zusammenfassung

It didn’t have an external pod for flares/chaff?

Lower br I guess

I know, I am asking because I think they were out in the Greek M.1CG

i am gonna be honest with you. if we are talking only about 10.0 and +.

saying this without going deep in details.

turkey has the airforce.
korea has the best ground
poland is mix.

latin wont offer shit tbf

in air force ? turkey now is meh. but 2027 turkey might become the best.

Do they have something domestically build like Korea? (Turkish planes I know the KAAN and a Light Trainer)

and don’t the Koreans just have the KF-21 and FA-50 series? From what I see they are pretty equal

Yes and they are quite successful I believe in exports at least

last i heard about the kaan was it failing to take off during its testing, havent heard about it since.

I believe they had AN/ALE-40

Yea weird plane, Ukrainian engines looks like a Temu F-35, as in WT I don’t know how will they add it as I don’t even know what weapons they plan to add it, so I don’t think it will be added in WT for at least 2-3 years

didnt count them

if your are talking about plane, no. everything eles yes. SAMs / helis / radars / apc / spaa / tanks.
also mentioning the weapons. they are both latest US made weapons and newer turkish weapons.

by 2027 they will have this.

F-35 / F-16V blk70 / Maybe Blk50 V / Blk30 OZGUR / blk50 OZGUR / Eurofighter T4. ( not confirmed but will likely get 2-4 early )

Turkey do have a domestic F-16 PoBIT equivalent.

Turkey decided that instead of purchasing the F-16V modernisation kits they would instead buy new built F-16V’s and upgrade their aging F-16 fleet with a domestic program.

The Özgür program are upgrading their F-16C/D Block 30’s to a similar standard to the PoBIT and Block 70/72 with domestic upgrades. (They are also planning to upgrade the rest of their fleet but currently are just starting with the Block 30’s.) They are fitted with Murad 100-A AESA radar, Merlin Fox-2 missiles, Peregrine Fox-3 missiles, EW kit, full colour MFD displays, Centre Pedestal Unit MFD screen, TULGAR HMD, and a few other domestically built systems.

Also their camo looks fantastic.

Quite literally just PoBIT but kebab.

All the Turkish camos look beautiful imo, im a little biased though

is that the english name for gokdogan or whatever it’s called?

Apparently Raytheon also made a missile with this name

True. But F-16 wise Turkish camos are third for me.

First goes to the Polish F-16’s and second goes to the Greek.

(Not counting the special/display team camos because Zeus clears all by far)

Didn’t they cancel the package in favoyof domestic upgrades?
