😆😅 Negotiations are taking place to scale down the $23 Billion deal with the upgrades to take place locally rather than seeing the first aircraft completed by 2027. Turkish defence firms are well equipped to make the transition with the upgrade kits. The F-16s don’t need to have 100% technology components since companies such Aselsan and Havelsan are competitive contributors to the plain modernization effort. A favourite target of the F-16 is Kurdish PKK fighters. Just watch them do their job with precision.
