Greenville will ‘spit out’ four F-16 Viper squadrons per year
Citat:Currently, the Greenville facility has an order of 136 state-of-the-art F-16 Block 70/72 versions in the pipeline. With a potential contract from Jordan on the horizon, this figure could soon rise to 148 units.

The production facility in Greenville is not just up and running, but expanding. Last year, the first F-16, a long-standing order from Oman, finally rolled out. This year, the second fighter jet took to the skies in February.

Lockheed Martin’s management team informed Defense24 that they expect to build 5-8 more aircraft this year. By 2024 and 2025, production is projected to skyrocket, churning out up to three squadrons. “By 2025, we anticipate producing 4 new F-16s per month, equating to 48 per year,” shared the corporation’s ambitious plans.
According to reports, current aircraft orders are projected to be fulfilled by 2027 or 2028.

Turci nastavljaju modernizaciju
Turkish Aerospace, Aselsan ink $2B in deals to upgrade F-16 jets
Citat:Turkish Aerospace Industries has signed two contracts worth nearly $2 billion with the country’s largest defense company to upgrade F-16 fighter jets.
The deals announced by Aselsan, a military electronics specialist, were for $1.2 billion and 20.7 billion liras (U.S. $789.2 million).
Citat:Neither TAI nor Aselsan revealed details of the contracts, inked July 13. But a government procurement official and sources with the businesses told Defense News that the contracts are related to a program to upgrade Turkey’s aging F-16s, starting with the Block 30 level.

The upgrade program will include a new mission computer, an active electronically scanned array radar and new avionic suites for about 150 Turkish F-16 aircraft. The program will also include new cockpit color displays, a new indigenous identification friend or foe system, a new system interface unit, a hydraulic fuel gauge, new radar warning receivers, and an inertial navigation system.

Menendez maintains hold on Turkey F-16 jets despite Sweden NATO deal
Citat:A key senator is refusing to lift his longstanding hold on the sale of 40 Block 70 F-16 fighter jets to Turkey despite the Biden administration’s announcement last week that it wants to move forward with the deal. The $20 billion potential sale also includes 80 modernization kits.
National security adviser Jake Sullivan said the sale would proceed last week after President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan announced at the NATO summit in Lithuania that Turkey would ratify Sweden’s NATO accession bid. But Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., told Defense News on Tuesday that he continues to use his position as Foreign Relations Committee chairman to block the sale.

Izgleda mi da ce filipinosi uzeti od amera polovne F-16
Citat:Refer to Maxdefense on July 28, 2023, while the Philippines is nearing completion of its deal with Sweden for the acquisition of "new" JAS-39C/D MS20+ Gripens from Saab, it is also making headway in its negotiations with the United States for used F-16 Fighting Falcon fighters as part of the PH-US Security Sector Assistance Roadmap under the EDCA. This will enable the PAF to raise 2 fighter squadrons in the next few years, 1 squadron with the Gripens and 1 squadron with the Falcons
