A Turkish military delegation headed to the US on Monday for talks on the sale of F-16 fighter jets to Türkiye, according to Anadolu Agency.
"In order to carry out the F-16 procurement and modernization as soon as possible, the technical delegation of the Ministry of National Defense went to the US to hold talks upon the invitation of the US," the Turkish Defense Ministry said in a statement.
