"Geopolitical Maneuvers: US Approves F-16 and F-35 Fighter Jet Sales to Turkey and Greece"

TL;DR Summary
The US approval of the sale of F-35 fighters to Greece as a counterbalance to Turkey's procurement of F-16 aircraft has reignited the debate on the military balance in the Aegean. While Greece holds an advantage in air power with modern Rafales and F-16 upgrades, Turkey leads in drone technology and has expanded its shipbuilding capabilities. Greece faces challenges in its aging navy fleet and limited shipbuilding capabilities, while maintaining an advantage in submarines. Both countries are aiming to strengthen their military capabilities by 2030.
