The Turkish air force has received its first of 16 McDonnell Douglas F-4E Phantoms to be upgraded by local Aselsan. The project will equip the strike aircraft with new avionics, navigation and secure digital communications equipment, plus replacement flight software and improved mission planning equipment. The effort follows an earlier project to modernise some of the air force's reconnaissance-configured RF-4Es, which delivered its first aircraft last year. The F-4E has been operated in Turkey since 1974. Turkey signed its first Phantom upgrade in 1994, selecting Israel Aerospace Industries to modify 54 aircraft as F-4E 2020 Terminators. It is now operated by the air force's 111 Sqn in Eskisehir, 132 Sqn in Konya and 171 Sqn in Malatya. The Turkish air force has 161 F/RF-4Es in its active inventory
