US takes ‘significant step forward’ for F-16 sale to Türkiye: Envoy

U.S. Ambassador to Türkiye Jeff Flake has stated that a significant stride was taken regarding the sale of F-16 jets to Türkiye, without specifying the nature of the step.

"Today marks an important step forward in Türkiye's purchase of the latest-generation F-16 Block 70 fighter jets and upgrades to its existing fleet of F-16s," Flake said on a social media post on June 6.

The modernization process of Türkiye's existing fleet of F-16s will commence without delay, immediately after the 15-day period granted to the U.S. Congress for potential objections to the sale of fighter jets and upgrade kits, says U.S. Acting Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland.
