Should Italy receive a Turkish NorthropF-5A Tiger?

Northrop F-5A-2000 Freedom Fighter - Turkey - Air Force | Aviation ...
Because Italy has a few Turky Operated aircrafts. Also i think this would make a new Aviation Premium for italy

You know what Oprah would say

No

Because sooner or later Turkey will either have its own TT or be part of Mixed ME Tree or even Unified Balkan TT

They probably will never get their own Tech Tree that would be a big waist of time. But they might add a sub tree for Italy if that’s what you mean

Was a Turkish F-5 already, kind of

No, I would prefer to see an independent Turkish Tech Tree.

Also, it would never go to Italy. It would likely go to Israel if anything from my understanding of their current relations.

Why not italy they literally have some Turkish Operated vehicles

IIRC, there are only 2 Turkish vehicles in War thunder, Italy only has one of them which is the T129 ATAK, The second is the M60 AMBT proposed upgrade, event vehicle in the USA Tech Tree. So there isn’t “some” Turkish vehicles in Italy, just one.

Italy does not have a Turkish Sub Tree, and neither does the USA. Italy does have a Hungarian Sub Tree though.

If you would like me to elaborate on Israeli and Turkish relations I would gladly do so. The one thing I would really like you to check out is the Sabra tank series. The Wikipedia link gets the jist of it just fine, haven’t found any errors in its page.
It’s basically an extremely modernized M60 upgraded by Israel Military Industries. Some call it the Magach 8, as it’s a further improvement of the Magach 7 platform, featuring SLERA (Self Limiting Explosive Reactive Armor, found on the Merkava Mk.4B/M), a 120mm gun, modern Israeli Ammunition, Merkava Mk.4 Tracks, and gen 3 thermals, and LRF, LWS, and RWR.
