Although Turkey was one of eight countries—along with the United Kingdom, Canada, Netherlands, Italy, Denmark, Norway, and Australia—partnering with the United States on the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program, the Pentagon decided to end the F-35 deal by July 31, 2019, as a result of Turkey, as a NATO partner, purchasing S400 missiles from Russia.
In October 2021, Ankara sought to buy F-16s and modernization kits from the United States. The $6 billion deal will include the sale of 40 F-16 jets and modernization kits for 79 jet fighters. (ILKHA)
