F-16 deal in jeopardy? US delegation visits Erdogan – and keeps a low profile. Turkey wants to buy modern F-16 fighter jets from the USA.
But there is resistance to the deal with Turkey in the US. Republican Senator Rand Paul is calling for a resolution to stop the sale. That would be a horror scenario for Turkey. While Greece gets stealth aircraft like the F-35, Turkey doesn't even get F- 16s, which are not comparable anyway. Turkey is no longer allowed to fly over Greek islands with the new aircraft.
