Biden administration supports sale of F-16 fighter jets to Türkiye and modernisation of its existing fleet, says a senior Pentagon official, adding 'plans are in the works'
Plans to modernise Türkiye's aerial fleet"are in the works" and they need to go through"contracting processes," says Celeste Wallander, a senior defence official at Pentagon.
Celeste Wallander, Assistant Secretary for Defense for International Security Affairs at Pentagon, told media on Wednesday that strong Turkish defence capabilities would reinforce NATO's defences. Türkiye made a request in October to the United States to buy 40 Lockheed Martin-made F-16 fighters and nearly 80 modernisation kits for its existing warplanes.
"I support the Biden administration's decision to support the sale of new F-16s to our NATO ally, Türkiye," Graham, who represents South Carolina, wrote on Twitter.
