Does anyone know if the TAF used any AAMs on planes before the f-16 and f-4? I can't seem to find anything on it.

Approximate cost of an hour of flight of Turkish combat UAVs:
Bayraktar TB2: $ 925
Anka: $ 1,565
For comparison: expect to spend around $29,000 for every hour the F-15EX is in the air, F-35's figures recorded in 2018 of around $44,000 per hour.

Until the F-102s arrived, F-100s were using AİM-9B(GAR-8). Later on, F-102s were using both IR and Radar-guided versions of AİM-4 falcon. Likewise, F-5/RF-5s & F-104G/S were using also AİM-9s. It uses AİM-9 in the past. Later AIM-7 sparrows with F-104S ASA-M in 1970s which were bought from Italy.
