They will be approved together, but if we refuse, we won't get anything while Greece got F-35.Does anyone know if the F16 deal for Turkiye is in the same package as the deal for F35 for Greece?
If we don't buy the F-16, Greece wouldn't get F35s right?
Or is the F35 a separate deal that is not conditional on anything?
You know the funny thing? Our F-16s will probably get blocked by people like Menendez, its so sad that a small country like Greece has so much lobbying power in Congress, but we can't even get approved 4th gen fighters whilst they get state of the art 5th gen fighters.They will be approved together, but if we refuse, we won't get anything while Greece got F-35.
It is a great humiliation, if our rulers have honor and dignity, they will not take it. It is a comedy that we are equated with a helpless country like Greece.Its basically a threat towards Turkiye, you are going to accept our regional demands and get the inferior f16, but if you don't we are giving the greeks F35.
Why else attach the idea of greeks getting f35 to something Turkey wants to buy?
Honestly the relationship is coming to an end, we keep playing these games and they are going to keep taking the piss.

Well said.They will be approved together, but if we refuse, we won't get anything while Greece got F-35.
Actually I am really happy with this.You know the funny thing? Our F-16s will probably get blocked by people like Menendez, its so sad that a small country like Greece has so much lobbying power in Congress, but we can't even get approved 4th gen fighters whilst they get state of the art 5th gen fighters.
It is nothing to be feel humiliating.It is a great humiliation, if our rulers have honor and dignity, they will not take it. It is a comedy that we are equated with a helpless country like Greece.
What Turkiye will do is order new engines, nothing else.
