The United States sold F16 fighters to Turkey in exchange for Turkey's agreement to Sweden's accession to NATO, and later sold 20 F35 fighters to Greece, with a total contract value of $23 billion. It's a great deal.
The reason why Sweden has not been able to join NATO for a long time is that it is stuck here in Turkey. In the matter of Sweden's accession to NATO, Turkey is firstly because of the Kurdish issue, and secondly, it wants to knock off a bamboo bargain. In the end, the negotiating condition for refusing Sweden's accession to NATO turned out to be the introduction of American fighter jets, which was completely unexpected for the United States.
Because although Turkey is a member of NATO, the relationship between the United States and Turkey is very general, and the United States does not want to sell the F16 to Turkey, but now in the face of the conditions put forward by Turkey, the United States can only agree.
The United States also knows that Turkey is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and in order to avoid the Turkish Air Force from having too much advantage, the United States announced the sale of 20 F35 fighters to Greece.
Only with the F35, which is the standard configuration of the hardcore allies of the United States, Turkey dreams of F35, although Turkey has also made a lot of efforts, both soft and hard are used, but the United States does not eat this set at all, so it will retreat to buy F16. It can be seen that the bamboo pole in the United States is not so easy to knock. Of course, the biggest winner, without a doubt, is the American arms dealers. #Wonderful Writing and Flowering Creation Challenge##Micro Headlines Incentive Program##Headline Creation Challenge##Winter Check-in Season##Challenge 30 days to write a diary in Toutiao##国际时事#
