[🇹🇷] US approves F-16 fighter jet sale to Turkey, F-35s to Greece after Turkey OKs Sweden's entry to NATO

[4MikeEcho]

How is it that Greece's 40 F-35s are approved for $8.6BN but Turkey has 40 aircraft for $23BN and also modernization kits for 80 aircraft.

Something off with these numbers? F-16s should cost less and modernization kits would cost even more so, but Greece could tripple its order theoretically for 120 aircraft for $33BN, and turkey is paying 2/3rd of that for mostly upgrade kits.

I find it hard to believe that turkey is still entertaining the US and its nonsense shenanigans. These F-16’s ain’t worth jack shittt. Such a waste of money. Unbelievable!

I heard that Turkey bought S-400 because the U.S. refused to sell Turkey Patriot air defense missiles?

Two big moves by Putin yesterday:

Praising India vs Pakistan/China/Turkey arms performance in the recent war, in a widely televised joint military command address

And

Likely stop of Russian engines for the Pakistani JF17
