The U.S. Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) on Oct. 7 notified the U.S. Congress of a possible sale to Turkey of an F-16 modernization package under Washington’s Foreign Military Sales program, the DSCA said in a written statement.
The package — including modification of 104 F-16 Block 40 aircraft, 76 F-16 Block 50s and 38 F-16 Block 30s, as well as associated equipment and services — would be worth $3.9 billion if all options are exercised, according to the agency. Included would be integration of the Modular Mission Computer, self-protection electronic warfare suite, export versions of weapons available for the F-16, plus five additional foreign weapon systems.
