I just saw a report while searching new on Lemmy, that they're going to get some F-16s from the US. I'm pretty sure the governments are trying to make these things look disconnected, but I'm pretty sure they're connected. Timing is too good
What are you talking about, the US has declared quite openly that Turkey will not be able to buy F-16s from the US unless they accept Sweden into NATO.
I think their point was, the F-16 sanctions got lifted at the same time as the approval, funny coincidence.
There is no coincidence. Approval was a requirement for lifting the sanction.
