“The technical delegation of the Ministry of National Defense went to the US to hold talks upon the invitation of the US in order to carry out the F-16 procurement and modernization as soon as possible,” Turkish Defense Ministry said on Monday.

 

 

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)
