The Biden administration wants to sell Turkey aviation software upgrades for its current fleet of F-16 fighter aircraft in a deal valued at $259 million. The White House this week notified Congress of its intent to close the deal.
The deal would help bring Turkey’s F-16s up to NATO standards and improve its ability to operate alongside allies, according to the Defense Security Cooperation Agency.
If the deal goes through, it will be the first major military sale to Turkey that Congress has approved in years.
