“They say “consultations are continuing”, but we don’t have a clear picture, they are waiting for the elections in the USA” commented Manolis Kostidis.
Where it showed certainty about the supply of Eurofighter fighters, Ankara now speaks of a “positive result in the immediate future”, as transmitted by SKAI’s correspondent in Constantinople, Manolis Kostidis.
“Negotiations are ongoing with the government officials of the United Kingdom, which is one of the member countries of the consortium, and the officials of the manufacturing company for the sale of Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft to our country. We expect a positive result in the near future” Turkish Defense Ministry sources noted.
“Under the procurement of F-16 Block-70, the contracts became effective upon the payment of the initial payment. “Technical negotiations are continuing, for the supply of F-16 Block-70 aircraft, with the officials of the American government and the officials of the manufacturing company” it is still mentioned about the American-made fighters.
“They say ‘consultations are continuing’, but we don’t have a clear picture. They’re not waiting for the US elections to know where they’re going to go… To China? To Russia? To the USA?’ commented Manolis Kostidis.
Turkey has made the first payment for the F-16 Block 70 fighter jet procurement program and thus the agreement has entered into force, as revealed on Thursday (31.10.2024) by Turkish military sources, as part of a press briefing by the Ministry of Defense of our neighboring country .
