Well lest see.
F-16-52+,M-2000-5mk2 with 800xAIM120/MICA supported by Erieyes,8xPatriot PAC-3 & S-300PMU-1 included in worlds best IADS vs ****ty turco F-16 blk 50 & 40 with 1,2xAIM120A/B for every fighter "supported" by Nike Hercules,lol.
And this untill 2014 at least.
How does that look like?
^ that is well explained yannis greek despertation and a fear of turkish defence industry and any more your country has to waste money on more fancy weapons
What has dumbo turco defense industry to do with F-16?lol
TAI needs 7 years to modernise your first CCIP while EAB do same in 6 months for USAF.
Does that tell you anything?
what is the point when we are getting the 120 jsf and plus after that order we will get the full tech in our hands and besides the block 50 is good enuff for the gap
I'm not convinced the F-35 will be as good as advertized. The requirements just seem like a fantasy: create a fighter with the stealth and performance of an F-22, plus VTOL capability, but make it alot less expensive than the F-22. Meanwhile the F-22 is the most advanced fighter in the world, so if it was possible to add VTOL to it make it LESS expensive, why didn't we just do that? Alot of corners must have been cut in the design, IMO.
Turkey has no interest in the mainland Greece. All we need is the major easternmost islands in the Aegean and almost all of them are within Turkish artillery and rocket range. We would only need our firghters for aerial interception roles or to provide CAS to TN, which will concentrate on keeping HN from coming out to the east to help out the islands. Flatten everything that moves with shells and rockets, and then send in the army to claim the prize. And I bet a small fraction of our land forces would be more than enough.
you can expect it to be a little tougher than that, core-puss.
the aegean will be a meat grinder for TAF and TN. your floating wreckage will depress the global scrap metal market.
the most cherished dream of you warped turkos is that your backwards country someday attain the status of super amazing awesome regional bully. 2020 bro! omg 2020, i just can't wait to show the world what turkey can accomplish with our indigenous donkey d1ck tank!

Greece dont have anything to counter state of art F-35. With F-35 TAF able to destroy all Greek naval fleet in their harbours with out even detected".
YES they DO, even today.
Their Mirage 2000 is already capable of firing MICA IR which had a range of more than 80 km according to our Defense Minister's armament website AND the AdA Mirage 2000 5F Squadrons own website.
Ce missile, d'une portée maximale de 80 km, est particulièrement utilisé pour les phases de combat au delà de la détection visuelle et utilise les capacités de détection lointaine du radar RDY.

MICAs are used as IRSTs on the 2000/Rafale and are said to have a seeker's lock-on range capability of 60 km, so Mirage 2000 can already detect F-35 without the use of their radars and shoot them at this range.
Since they are well capable of flying HIGHER and FASTER than F-35 the advantage in range provided by the latest AIM-120 C7 versions becomes more than theorical.
A higher cervice ceilling and potential Maximum speed also increase AAM RANGE compared to those of a slower, lower flying target.
This so called "Indetectability" of F-35 is a MYTH.
F-35 is NOT as EM stealthy as F-22, it doesn't supercruise, is WAY slower with a much lower operational ceilling.
All those advantages are part of F-22 superiority in A2A and help reduce its chances to be detected, this is also valid for the Mirage vs a F-35.
While everyone is ready to admit a Mirage have little chances vs a F-22, vs a F-35 it is a totaly different matter.
