After Turkey agreed to Sweden's accession to NATO, the United States immediately announced the export of fighter jets to Turkey, but it was not the F35 fighter that Turkey had joined the development, but the old F16 fighter. Although not the most advanced model, the superiority in price and quantity also strengthens Turkey's air force.
Previously, the United States had suspended military exports to Turkey for a time, due to Turkey's purchase of Russian S400 air defense systems, and Turkey's cooperation with Russia also greatly annoyed the United States, not only sanctioning Turkey economically, but also carrying out export controls militarily. Turkey, on the other hand, took advantage of the United States' hope that the Nordic countries Sweden and Finland would join NATO to contain the United States, and finally accomplished its goal of allowing the United States to export fighter jets.
However, in addition to the dissatisfaction of the United States with Turkey's "grass on the wall" policy, the contradictions between the EU countries Greece and Turkey are also the reasons for the United States to contain Turkey's military. Greece and Turkey are historical enemies, and the struggle for the Aegean Sea and the Turkish Straits has never stopped, and the famous "Trojan Horse" occurred during the war between the two countries. After the end of World War II, the two countries also had constant disputes over the sovereignty of the territorial waters and islands, and even conflicts, but Greece and other European countries, including the United States, are Christian countries, while Turkey is an Islamic country, so in the Greek and Turkish contradictions, Europe and the United States are more inclined to Greece.
Therefore, when the United States announced the export of F16 fighters to Turkey, it also announced the export of more advanced F35 fighters to Greece, although the number is small, but it can play a better role in skirmishes. This is the "balancing tactic" of the United States.
