Turkey Plans to Buy 30 New F-16s
In defense trade news, the Turkish Daily News reports that Turkey is planning to buy a new squadron of F-16 Block 52 Plus fighter jets worth at least $1.5 billion as a "stop-gap" measure until the next generation of fighter aircraft join its Air Force in the future. The article notes that the sale may be concluded by the end of this year. Turkey is a participant in the Joint Strike Fighter program, which was recently named the F-35 Lightning II.
