Turkey's President Erdogan agrees to support Sweden's bid to join Nato, the alliance's chief Jens Stoltenberg says
I've seen speculation that Turkey will get F-16s in return.
Looking forward to seeing Orban cornered.
They've had F-16s for years, producing most of them domestically (under license). Maybe some upgrades?
Turkey's been developing their own "5th gen" fighter, and they do have a pretty decent domestic military industrial base, but they got barred from purchasing the F-35 in 2019 when they bought an S-400 system from Russia - I wonder if he wants those. It'd need some US congressional cooperation to make happen, though.
Yeah, probably, but that doesn't mean he doesn't want them. Supposably, the TAI TF Kaan will have her maiden flight this year, so we'll see.
