Turkey's proposal to purchase 40 F-16Vs from the United States has been accepted by Washington. However, the decision to comply with Ankara's request still has a long way to go.

Although President Joe Biden has stated that he will support Turkey for the acquisition of the F-16 Viper jets , the fact is that members of the US Senate are still adamant that Turkey must comply with the rule that the F-16Vs to be purchased cannot be used to violate the sovereignty of Greek airspace.

Meanwhile, Turkey says there are no rules that need to be followed regarding the requirements for the F-16.

In the end, it is now news that Turkey will turn to Russia again if the US fails to fulfill its promise.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said this on Friday in remarks that could escalate tensions between Ankara and Washington.

Previously, NATO member Turkey had applied for the purchase of 40 F-16 Viper Block 70 fighter jets and up to 80 modernization kits for its existing F-16 fleet.

“The United States is not the only one selling fighter planes in the world. Britain, France and Russia also sell it," the Cumhuriyet newspaper quoted Erdogan as telling reporters after Friday prayers at a mosque in Istanbul.

Turkey has been sanctioned by the US from the F-35 Program for purchasing the S-400 air defense system from Russia.

Ankara now no longer has the convenience of obtaining US-made defense equipment, including the F-16V for example.

Meanwhile, Russia through the defense industry consortium Rostec stated its ability to supply Turkey with Su-35 or Su-57 aircraft.

"If our Turkish counterpart expresses a desire, we are ready to work on the delivery of the Su-35," said Rostec CEO Sergey Chemezov.

So far, negotiations have been ongoing in Washington and Ankara for months in an effort to resolve the dispute over the F-35 fighter jets and the planned acquisition of 40 F-16V jets.

However, so far no results have been obtained from the second meeting between the two countries.
