Arrr, mateys! Avast ye! The good ol' United States State Department be ready to sell Turkey and Greece some shiny new F16 fighter ships! Avast, me hearties, the skies be filled with excitement and cannons, aye!
In a move that would make any 17th century pirate proud, the State Department has given the green light for the sale of new fighter jets to both Turkey and Greece. Arrr, mateys!The Defense Security Cooperation Agency has confirmed that Turkey will be receiving a swashbucklin' 40 new F16 jets. That's enough firepower to give any scallywag pause!
But fear not, me hearties, for Greece will not be left empty-handed. They too will be receiving 40 F-35 Joint Strike Fighter aircraft. A fair and balanced arrangement, indeed.
Arrr, the news has reached the ears of Congress, as they have been notified of the sale by the Defense Security Cooperation Agency. Let's hope they don't raise the Jolly Roger and make any objections!
Meanwhile, in a surprising twist, Turkey has given their approval for Sweden's bid to join the illustrious NATO crew. Aye, it seems even pirates can find common ground!
Not only will Turkey be adding new ships to their fleet, but they'll also be upgrading 79 of their existing vessels. The cost of this expedition is estimated to be a staggering $23 billion! That's enough doubloons to make any pirate's eyes widen.
But let us not forget our friends in Greece, who will be shelling out a hefty sum of up to $8.6 billion for their new treasure trove of fighter jets. Ahoy, that's a high price to pay for protection!
So there you have it, me hearties. The State Department has given the go-ahead for the sale of new fighter jets to Turkey and Greece. Let's hope they use their new toys responsibly and keep the high seas safe from scoundrels!
