Turkey Orders 30 F-16C Block 50s et. al. for $2.9B
On September 28, 2006, the US DSCA notified Congress of a possible Foreign Military Sale to Turkey of advanced 30 more F-16C Block 50 aircraft as well as associated equipment and services. The total value, if all options are exercised, could be as high as $2.9 billion.
This sale is in addition to Turkey's $1.1 billion upgrade program for its existing F-16 fleet, which aims to bring all of its aircraft to a common configuration. More than 200 F-16 aircraft currently make up the backbone of Turkey's current fighter fleet.
DID readers will also recall the recent buy of 30 F-16 Block 50/52 Plus aircraft by Turkey's rival Greece. While the Hellenic Air force has decided to pass on the option for an additional 10 F-16s and delayed consideration of new fighters beyond 2011, Turkey is approaching a decision point on the 5th-generation F-35A Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter production by late 2006/early 2007. Meanwhile, the Government of Turkey has requested a possible sale of:
* 30 Lockheed Martin Advanced F-16C Block 50 Aircraft;
* 32 Northrop Grumman AN/APG-68(V)9 Radars;
* 42 General Electric F110-129 Engines;
* 60 LAU-129A Launchers - these will handle both AIM-9 Sidewinder and AIM-120 AMRAAM missiles;
* 36 VSI Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System that puts the heads-up display right in the pilot's helmet;
* 36 MIDS-LVT Link 16 terminals;
* 3 Link-16 Ground Stations; and
* 35 of BAE Systems AN/APX-113 Advanced Identification Friend or Foe (AIFF);
* 36 of ITT Industries' AN/ALQ-211 Airborne Integrated Defensive Electronic Warfare Suites or BAE Systems' AN/ALQ-178 Self Protection Electronic Warfare Suites.
Also included are system integration and testing, software development/integration, test sets and support equipment, simulation units, link pods, spare and repair parts, publications and technical data, maintenance, personnel training and training equipment, U.S. Government and contractor representatives' program support services, contractor engineering and technical support services, and other related elements of logistics support.
