The Turkish Air Force is tough and well equipped. But if they enter Israel, they’ll get nuked and have no way to respond.

“The Turkish Air Force is tough and well equipped.”

They might be tough, that mostly depends on training.

In relative terms, they are NOT well equipped.

They have about 230 F-16s of various vintages...but only a couple of dozen Block 50. And they still fly F-4 Phantoms occasionally.

Israel could shoot down all of them with their 40 F-35s. Not to mention over 60 F-15s. And 175 F-16s.

It would not be close and it would not last very long.

And the idea of moving equipment without air dominance...is naive at best.

No contest.
