Towards the end of June, after the positive meeting between the President of the USA and the President of Turkey, the parties came to the table and reached an agreement in principle. Biden even said he would speed up the proceedings. But in July, the US Senate imposed a condition for the sale of F-16s to Turkey. Today, he will have reviewed his profit, and the relevant articles were put to the vote again.
The condition of the F-16 sale to Greece, which the USA brought to Turkey, has been lifted!
The US said that it created a security gap for itself by using Turkey’s purchase of the S-400 air defense system as an excuse. For this reason, 6 F-35s, for which the delivery ceremony was held, were confiscated while the pilot was continuing their flight training and canceled their sale.
However, it is known that the reason behind this decision is not the S-400, but lobbying activities for various political purposes. The biggest reason for this is that Turkey has been increasing its domestic and nationality ratio step by step in the field of defense industry for 40 years.

Retail markets continue to surprise. We examined the fiber boat model sold by the A101 at the price of a smartphone.
Of course, Turkey is among the biggest parts of NATO. In fact, we can say that it has the strongest army operationally after the USA. Due to the increasing Russian threat on Europe, each member needs to be strengthened. In particular, the first line must be established in lines from the Balkans to the Scandinavian peninsula.
For this reason, many allied forces see it as a necessity to give F-16s to Turkey, even if they are not F-35s, and to update the existing ones to block 70 level. On the other hand, Turkey, on the other hand, wants to strengthen its hand in the process of accepting domestic manned and unmanned warplanes into the army in the next 8 years.
After the final decision from the USA, whether to sell the F-16 to Turkey will be discussed again between the parties. However, it is stated that the restrictions such as not using it against Greece or others, which Turkey opposes, have been completely lifted. Therefore, we may hear the news of the agreement soon.
