Hurkus might be a better choice for the nonsense we are trying to pull in Africa though. We have mercenaries in 20+ countries. Just playing the devil's advocate here.

But that only happened in Libya and even then it can be somewhat legitimized due to its importance in East Med.

I just didn't understand why you'd call it a nonsense. Even Russia and France can pull imperialistic bullshit in wider Africa but Turkey can't defend its legitimate interests in the Mediterranean?

They have AESA upgrades for F-16 and TFX coming online next decade. If they want to complicate logistics and invite more sanctions then be my guest.

Wouldn't mind the WS-10C in place of the F110-GE-129 though...

Let me say it this way, Turkiye wants F-16's but if the obstacles are too numerous to acquire it, it'll look first and foremost at western alternatives before looking eastwards.

If no F-16, then Typhoon (Rafale?) before considering Su-35/57/J-10.

Aselpod in use by the Iraqi air force:

Meteksan Defense participated in the Turkish Armed Forces Electronic Warfare Trials (EHDEN 2022) held in Antalya between 24-28 October 2022 with the MERTER Electronic Attack (ET) System integrated on the ULAQ Armed Unmanned Naval Vehicle.

Within the scope of the event, the Battle ET trials with MERTER were participated. In the configuration in question, MERTER was controlled by the AKSON C-Band Datalink on the ULAQ Coastal Vehicle Control Station, and the communication jamming trials conducted in different jamming modes and at different frequencies were concluded successfully.


It looks very goofy
