F-35 프로그램에서 아웃된 터키가 유로파이터 타이푼 40기 구매를 추진하네요. 독일이 반대를 풀어줄 지? 11월 17일 에르도안 대통령이 독일을 방문하긴 했다고 합니다.
미국과의 바이퍼 40기 구매 + 79기 업그레이드 협상도 난항인가 보네요. TF-X의 명칭은 KAAN으로 정해졌네요.

This decision follows Turkey’s exclusion from the F-35 program in 2019, scrapping an order for more than 100 F-35 stealth fighter jets as a consequence of its controversial purchase of the Russian S-400 air defense system.
Turkey’s interest in the Typhoon was first reported in June 2022 by the London-based publication Middle East Eye.

Simultaneously, Turkey is in talks to purchase 40 F-16 Block 70 Vipers and modernize 79 existing aircraft from the United States. Congressional objections, fueled by tensions over the S-400 acquisition and Turkey’s political stances, pose uncertainties for this deal.
Turkey is also developing an indigenous 5th generation fighter jet, with the Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) KAAN.
