Today, the possible impact an Air Force can have on the outcome of a war is measured by the capabilities and operational concept of that Air Force. Advancing with modern aviation through technological prowess, the Turkish Air Force (TurAF) is capable of detecting, identifying, and neutralizing ground and surface threats day and night, and in all weather conditions with its high-precision Laser-Guided Bombs (LGBs), INS/GPS, INS/GPS+SAL guided Smart Munitions, Long-Range Air-to-Ground/Surface Missiles (AGM-154 JSOW-A1/C, AGM-65G/G2 Maverick, and Popeye) or Air Launched Cruise Missiles such as AGM-84K-1 SLAM-ER and SOM-A/B1/B2 without entering the range of hostile defense systems, thanks to its modern targeting, navigation, and reconnaissance pods.
