TURKEY NOT GETTING F-35 JETS

The only thing Turkey should be getting as a gift from anyone are rockets and bombs.

Erdogan is due for an election soon desu. He shouldn't be allowed to be a dictator.

F16 didn't take as long to develop and it didn't go this far over budget. Hell part of the reason f16 was approved was that the f15 was too expensive.

Israel #1

this

the best and funniest brazilian post ive ever seen

I actually meant to say F15 in that post. But look at it now.

The F35 had a shaky start and a ridiculous price tag but it's a capable aircraft.

Also it should be mentioned that R&D is very expensive and the US is one of the only countries putting serious resources into stealth technology.

Also the f35 costs more than eight times the Manhattan project's inflation adjusted budget.

It's going for around 90 mil each, much cheaper than their starting asking price of 120

Sorry I meant the project cost
Not individual unit costs

>a T-38 from USAF crashed yesterday
>a F-5F from Brazil crashed today
>tomorrow ????

Swiss and Thais are shitting their pants now.

Took a hell of a long time but I think that it'll be worth it in the long run. Apparently Israel already got first combat with the planes in Syria. And considering how they shat in the Iranians mouth, I'd say they're effective

To be fair, that isn't hard to do with existing planes either.

It seems scary number because projects have not been reported like that before. It includes building all these planes and training and paying all these pilots and crews and spare parts and maintenance until 2070.

F-35 is a great success. Shit really worked.

No, I'm not using the projected cost.
I'm using the 156~ billion over budget number. I don't even know the original budget but the Manhattan project adjusted for inflation is about 20 billion USD.

Everything is always over budget. F-35 project has been constantly been shat on and often using false claims. Then the newest results come in and they show it is a great plane. The pilots love it and it does things like dominate very challenging conditions in Red Flag war games by beating other planes 20:1.

... oh and this $163B over budget was using the estimates of the total project cost until 2070. It is also in then-dollars meaning inflation is in there.

fuck f-35
we will shotdown every greek jet when we get s-400 missiles

Good. Fuck Erdogan and his mudslime faggot friends.

The price will be down to around $100m once production kicks in properly, which is roughly what a Typhoon costs - the Typhoon has cost tens of billions of pounds/euros so far which people like to forget.

Trump will veto that

Muh exports to literally anyone at any cost

>will be
>we promise
t. Lockmart

And it whoops the ass of any yank birdie in mid-to short range

>inb4 muh long range engagement will take care of yuropoors

Sure thing buddy, say hello to our new friend.

>Israel is an SCP
It all makes sense now.

how do I shot jet

yeah the raf have got those missiles too m8 we co-developed them.

Seems abit pyramid scheme with the terminology

F-16? People were saying the same shit about the F-22. I still remember the F-22 Craptor shit posting.

The money you put in you get back in production, technology transfer, money back into your economy and jobs.

Turkey deserves it tbqh. This whole thing is because he has several Americans and hundreds of Turks imprisoned indefinitely after the "coup" attempt in 2016.

Why do they need F-35 jets in the first place? They won't get into a dogfight against a European cunt since once they do, they will bring all their allies and gang up on them. If they're to hit some Middle Eastern shitholes, they don't have to go out of their way to get their hands on such outrageously expensive jet fighters. To be fair, I don't even understand why Korea are looking to buy F-35s when the economic situation is looking dire with skyrocketing unemployment rates and rising prices

feels lonely though. don't think a single cunt is on our side atm

There are better friends out there than Turkey, certainly a Turkey lead by Erdogan. We still have the old crew in CANZUK and France even if relations aren't the best right now.

I don’t think it’s an avionics issue. More of a price issue. And Israel uses its avionics to upgrade planes after they’ve been in service for a while

It's for the best, can't count on them anymore

RIP in peace F-5s

F

No need to worry about that

aksener and ince will both be less pro-"america" (trump, saudi arabia and israel) than erdogan if he loses the election

russians solved their disputes with turkey pretty fast
However, turks will still get their russian air defenses and will build the gas pipeline on their own before the war in Syria is over

What is Turkey's endgame?

Do they want to devolve into a full blown sharia state and neglect what their predecessors did?

Pretty much, Erdoğan wants full control

Lol who would want overcost jet that bear no fruit yet

Maybe there's a reason everyone is buying. Would you really buy from a country that can't support it's own military

F-35A unit cost is already ~$90m.

>F-35
>"capable aircraft"
>Turkey not getting it
>apparently it's a loss

If it's F-15s, 16s and 18s, it really would be a loss. F-35s meanwhile are as capable as F-22s and B-2s, the equivalent of driving a luxury super car to basic work every day rather than driving the basic BMW or Mercedes sedan or coupe.

WE HAZ AIR SUPERIORITY N SHIEEET

You sound like a hippie talking about quantum physics and insisting that the pink crystals create the happiest quantum pairings.

And you have no idea what cost effectiveness is, but then again; your country's military air is irrelevant to begin with, let alone the army for a reliable defense.

>F-35A unit cost is already ~$90m.

The unit cost prices don't include the engine. You need to add another $16m on top of that ;)

>muh F-22s

>knife + gun = knifegun.mp4
>F-35 is born

Eh at least the things are easy to fly because it relies heavily on the electronics while Harrier pilots master the aircraft.

If you're trying to say the Harrier doesn't rely on electronics you're dead wrong.
