"I believe that after the earthquakes, Türkiye will give up asking for F-16 because it is a $20 billion cost package," Erhan said.
He believes the Turkish government made a mistake by asking for F-16s, which Congress is still refusing to give under 'some pretext' and which are outdated and not competitive against other jets.
"Türkiye should immediately make a decision to change its decision from F-16 to some other.
For instance, F-35 was on the table. Türkiye was expecting from the program (to get F-35). Now we have other options like the Chinese jet, which was sold to Pakistan, Russian jets, and also the Eurofighter jet," Erhan stated.
