Turkey, procedure to purchase F-16 from the US is underway
Just this morning there Turkey had initiated the process of purchasing F-16 fighter jets from the United States. This was announced by the Minister of Defense, Hulusi Akar. “Technical work on the supply of F-16s has begun”, Akar said in a statement, “we are monitoring this process. The strengthening of Turkey also means the strengthening of NATO’s defense”. The Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, explained days ago that the F-16s are a counterpart offered by the United States following the exclusion of Ankara from the F-35 program. Washington had canceled the sale of F-35s to Turkey after Turkey bought Russian S-400 anti-aircraft defense systems in 2019, fearing that Moscow could obtain industrial secrets about the program.
