...I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but...I don’t understand the intent of this article...The Turkish Air Force already has a great number of F-16 “Fighting Falcons” in its inventory... e.g., from another web site......

“Turkey Prepares To Extend The Life Of Its Massive F-16 Fleet After F-35 Embargo”
“After more than three decades of service, the Turkish Air Force’s F-16 Viper fleet is perhaps more important than ever. A structural improvement program is underway to ensure these fighter jets can remain in service even longer. The Vipers will fill the gap left by Turkey’s ejection from the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program and the pending arrival of an indigenous replacement, the TF-X.
