fighter jet package from the United States, scrapping the purchase of 79 modernization kits for its existing fleet. NATO member T眉rkiye earlier this year secured a deal to procure 40 F-16 fighter jets and 79 modernization kits for its existing F-16s from the U.S. after a long-delayed process. "An initial payment has been made for the procurement of F-16 Block-70. A payment of $1.4 billion has been made. With this, we will buy 40 F-16 Block-70 Viper, and we were going to buy 79 modernization kits," Defense Minister Ya艧ar G眉ler told a parliamentary hearing. "We gave up on this 79. This is why we gave up: Our Turkish Aerospace Industries (TUSA艦) facilities are capable of carrying out this modernization on their own, so we deferred to them," he said. The sale of the 40 new Lockheed Martin F-16 jets and ammunition for them will cost T眉rkiye some $7 billion, G眉ler added. T眉rkiye placed its order in October 2021, two years after the U.S. sanctioned and removed it from the multinational fifth-generation F-35 fighter jet program over its acquisition of the S-400 missile defense system from Russia. T眉rkiye wants to re-join the F-35 program and buy 40 new F-35 jets, G眉ler also said. He suggested that the U.S. revised its position on the sale of F-35s to T眉rkiye after witnessing its progress with its domestically developed combat aircraft, Kaan. "When the Americans saw that we could build and fly the Kaan, they changed their minds a bit about the F-35," G眉ler said. "Now, they are expressing willingness to provide F-35s. However, no progress has been made. We insist on reclaiming our production share and maintain our request to acquire F-35s," he added. Kaan completed its maiden flight in late February, while its mass production is expected to start in 2028. T眉rkiye had sought to purchase as many as 100 F-35 jets, and its companies were building some 900 fighter jet parts. G眉ler repeated Ankara&#039;s view that T眉rkiye had to purchase two battalions of the Russian surface-to-air missile system after no other country with such systems, including the U.S., responded positively to Ankara&#039;s requests. Washington argued that the S-400s posed a risk to F-35s, whereas Ankara insisted they would not be integrated into NATO systems. G眉ler confirmed that the S-400 systems are deployment-ready and could be operational within 12 hours if needed. He said T眉rkiye would only use it in case of a "very high level of danger." Ankara has repeatedly demanded reimbursement for its payment for the F-35s before requesting to buy F-16 warplanes. G眉ler highlighted Ankara&#039;s efforts to modernize the Air Forces Command until the light combat aircraft H眉rjet and the fifth-generation stealthy jet fighter Kaan are operational. T眉rkiye is one of the largest operators of F-16s, with its fleet made up of more than 200 older Block 30, 40 and 50 models. Ankara is also interested in buying dozens of the twin-engine, supersonic Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jets, built by a consortium of Germany, Britain, Italy and Spain. G眉ler noted that Germany has issued the necessary permissions and procurement discussions continue.", "author": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Daily Sabah with Agencies" }, "publisher": { "@type":

A payment of $1.4 billion has been made. With this, we will buy 40 F-16 Block-70 Viper, and we were going to buy 79 modernization kits," Defense Minister Ya艧ar G眉ler told a parliamentary hearing.</p> <p>"We gave up on this 79. This is why we gave up: Our Turkish Aerospace Industries (TUSA艦) facilities are capable of carrying out this modernization on their own, so we deferred to them," he said.</p><p><div class="custombox_infinite"></div> </p> <p>The sale of the 40 new Lockheed Martin F-16 jets and ammunition for them will cost T眉rkiye some $7 billion, G眉ler added.</p> <p>T眉rkiye placed its order in October 2021, two years after the U.S. sanctioned and removed it from the multinational fifth-generation F-35 fighter jet program over its acquisition of the S-400 missile defense system from Russia.</p> <p>T眉rkiye wants to re-join the F-35 program and buy 40 new F-35 jets, G眉ler also said.</p> <p>He suggested that the U.S. revised its position on the sale of F-35s to T眉rkiye after witnessing its progress with its domestically developed combat aircraft, Kaan.</p><p><div class="custombox_infinite"></div> </p> <p>"When the Americans saw that we could build and fly the Kaan, they changed their minds a bit about the F-35," G眉ler said.</p> <p>"Now, they are expressing willingness to provide F-35s. However, no progress has been made. We insist on reclaiming our production share and maintain our request to acquire F-35s," he added.</p> <p>Kaan completed its maiden flight in late February, while its mass production is expected to start in 2028.</p> <p>T眉rkiye had sought to purchase as many as 100 F-35 jets, and its companies were building some 900 fighter jet parts.</p> <p>G眉ler repeated Ankara's view that T眉rkiye had to purchase two battalions of the Russian surface-to-air missile system after no other country with such systems, including the U.S., responded positively to Ankara's requests.</p> <p>Washington argued that the S-400s posed a risk to F-35s, whereas Ankara insisted they would not be integrated into NATO systems.</p> <p>G眉ler confirmed that the S-400 systems are deployment-ready and could be operational within 12 hours if needed. He said T眉rkiye would only use it in case of a "very high level of danger."</p> <p>Ankara has repeatedly demanded reimbursement for its payment for the F-35s before requesting to buy F-16 warplanes.</p> <p>G眉ler highlighted Ankara's efforts to modernize the Air Forces Command until the light combat aircraft H眉rjet and the fifth-generation stealthy jet fighter Kaan are operational.</p> <p>T眉rkiye is one of the largest operators of F-16s, with its fleet made up of more than 200 older Block 30, 40 and 50 models.</p> <p>Ankara is also interested in buying dozens of the twin-engine, supersonic Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jets, built by a consortium of Germany, Britain, Italy and Spain.</p> <p>G眉ler noted that Germany has issued the necessary permissions and procurement discussions continue.</p> </div>  <div class="articles_social_media new-social-media"> <div class="social_media" style="height:20px;"> <a href="https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=Türkiye scraps modernization kits from F-16 jet deal with US http://sabahdai.ly/_24q9" target="_blank"> <i class="fab fa-twitter"></i> </a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=http://sabahdai.ly/_24q9" target="_blank"> <i class="fab fa-facebook-f"></i> </a> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=http://sabahdai.ly/_24q9&title=T眉rkiye scraps modernization kits from F-16 jet deal with US" target="_blank"> <i class="fab fa-linkedin"></i> </a> <a href="mailto:?subject=T眉rkiye scraps modernization kits from F-16 jet deal with US&body=http://sabahdai.ly/_24q9"> <i class="fas fa-envelope"></i> </a> <li> <a id="copy-shortlink-btn"> <div class="link_article"></div> <input type="text" id="copy-shortlink" value="http://sabahdai.ly/_24q9" /> </a> <div class="short_link_copied">shortlink copied</div> </li> </div> <div class="article_info_text"> Last Update: Nov 27, 2024 2:16 pm </div> </div>    <div class="article-keywords"> <div class="article-keywords-header"> <div class="article-keywords-title"> KEYWORDS </div> </div> <div class="article-keywords-body" style="border-bottom: 0px;"> <a href="/tags?query=defense-industry" class="article-keywords-link" style="text-transform:uppercase;display:inline-block;">defense industry</a> <a href="/tags?query=defense" class="article-keywords-link" style="text-transform:uppercase;display:inline-block;">defense</a> <a href="/tags?query=tuumlrkiye" class="article-keywords-link" style="text-transform:uppercase;display:inline-block;">türkiye</a> <a href="/tags?query=f-16-fighter-jet" class="article-keywords-link" style="text-transform:uppercase;display:inline-block;">f-16 fighter jet</a> <a href="/tags?query=f-16-sale" class="article-keywords-link" style="text-transform:uppercase;display:inline-block;">f-16 sale</a> <a href="/tags?query=united-states" class="article-keywords-link" style="text-transform:uppercase;display:inline-block;">united states</a> <a href="/tags?query=kaan" class="article-keywords-link" style="text-transform:uppercase;display:inline-block;">kaan</a> <a href="/tags?query=warplane" class="article-keywords-link" style="text-transform:uppercase;display:inline-block;">warplane</a> <a href="/tags?query=f-35-fighter-jet" class="article-keywords-link" style="text-transform:uppercase;display:inline-block;">f-35 fighter jet</a> <a href="/tags?query=f-35-jet-program" class="article-keywords-link" style="text-transform:uppercase;display:inline-block;">f-35 jet program</a> </div> </div>  <div class="article-newsletter" style="display:none;"> <div class="article-newsletter-img"> <img src="https://i.hizliresim.com/JN9LXf.png" alt=""> </div> <div class="article-newsletter-title"> The Daily Sabah Newsletter </div> <div class="article-newsletter-tagline"> Keep up to date with what鈥檚 happening in Turkey, it鈥檚 region and the world. </div> <div class="article-newsletter-input-wrapper"> <input type="email" placeholder="Enter Email Address" class="article-newsletter-input"> <button class="article-newsletter-button">SIGN ME UP</button> </div> <div class="article-newsletter-desc"> You can unsubscribe at any time.
