According to the newspapers Greek City Times and Estia, during the recent visit of U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to Greece, the supply of 20 F-35s was discussed and agreed, six of which will be purchased in 2022 and will be delivered together with the first six Rafale fighter jets from France.

US suspends F-35 deliveries to Turkey over S-400 purchase from Russia

Greece’s interest in fifth generation fighters was already known but the news in question could be seen almost as a sign of karma because the six Greek aircraft would be those initially destined for Turkey. The United States excluded Turkey from a deal to purchase the F-35s last year after the Turkish government took delivery of Russian S-400 air defence missiles.

The U.S. Air Force have already received 8 F-35s initially destinated to Turkey and is expected to receive 24 other — which are in various stages of production — that were being built for Ankara.
