Turkey’s F-16 Warplanes
Turkey is also looking for advanced fighters to replace its aging F-16 fleet. This assumes urgency given its rivals are bolstering their aerial capabilities rapidly. The US is currently upgrading most of Greece’s F-16s to the Viper configuration, which will make them the most advanced F-16s in Europe.
Additionally, Athens has ordered a small fleet of 4.5-generation French-built Rafale fighters and is also likely to acquire F-35As in the not-too-distant future. Egypt has also acquired Rafales and has reportedly begun taking delivery of 4.5-generation Su-35s from Russia.
Ankara-based BlueMelange, an independent research group, was recently quoted by Forbes as saying there are around 236 Turkish F-16s, consisting of Block 30, Block 40, Block 50, and Block 50+ variants, with descending combat-readiness due to their age and extreme combat-loaded sortie-flight records.
A Turkish F-16.
Needless to say, Ankara has been slapped with US sanctions for its acquisition of the Russian S-400 SAMs, which means Turkey may not be able to upgrade its US-made F-16s in the near future. And the country will be left with no option but to decommission these jets.
This is perhaps what motivated the Erdogan government to deploy F-16s to protect UCAVs, on which the country has spent a huge amount of finance and research.
The highly advanced UCAVs are a matter of pride for Turkey and brought massive business to the country and Turkey does not want to take chance on the safety of these drones.
