About the only thing remaining from the original version is the airframe. Everything else is new: radars, avionics, weapon systems, engines. The newest blocs are quite capable, as are the F15 variants. The problem is the radar signatures.

the 2024 version is a totally different plane that the 1978 version.

The F-16 has been modernized a lot! so there is advanced tech in the latest NATO/US version that the Turks will be getting.
