die F-16 ist in den benachbarten Staaten sicher nicht überholt - und die Türkei könnte anstelle der USA durchaus auch weiter als Lieferant von Ägypten, Lybien oder anderen islamischen Staaten auftreten (dort, wo die USA aus diplomatischen Rücksichten eher beschränkt sind).

Zitat:Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) To Develop New Indigenous Modernization Kits and Mission Computers For F-16s

Turkey’s military aircraft giant Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) is set to develop new indigenous modernization kits and mission computers.
Upgrades will be applicable to all the F-16 Block 40 fighters of the Peace Onyx III and Block 50 fighters of the Peace Onyx IV programs, as well as the Block 30s that were acquired earlier. TAI plans to market the upgrades for export to other countries.

Ambassador schrieb:der Gedanke klingt logisch, das die Türkei womöglich eine Eigenentwicklung auf den Markt bringt, denn die Produktionsstätte wird nun sicher nicht aufgegeben. Hier könnte ich mir auch vorstellen, das sich die Türkei mit Israel austauscht, da Israel ja sehr grosse Erfahrung hat in der Weiterentwicklung bzw. Eigenentwicklung aus Lizenzbauten bzw. einstmals gekauften Flugzeugen wie zb. die Kfir entwickelt aus der Mirage 5
Nicht zu vergessen auch, das Israel bereits dabei war, eine Eigenentwicklug basierend auf der F16 zu entwickeln(IAI Lavy), was jedoch aus Kostengründen Ende der 80er aufgegeben wurde.

ANKARA — Turkey’s largest defense company — Aselsan Elektronik Sanayi ve Ticaret — has successfully developed the country’s first indigenous identification friend-or-foe (IFF) system, and delivered the first prototypes to the Turkish military.

Two prototype electronic systems were delivered to the armed forces last month and mark a “first-time achievement” for Turkey’s local industry, officials and analysts here said. “This puts Turkey into a small list of seven countries that have the capabilities to manufacture IFF systems,” Aselsan CEO Cengiz Ergeneman told reporters.

Aselsan signed a contract with Turkey’s Ministry of National Defense in December 2006 to design, develop and manufacture the prototypes. The contract price for the prototypes is classified.
