The US plans to sell as many as 40 F-35 jets to Greece and will also gift the country various defense equipment, according to a letter sent by Secretary of State Antony Blinken to Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.

The move comes as the US State Department said Friday that it had approved the long-delayed sale of F-16 warplanes to Turkey in a delicately orchestrated arrangement with Ankara supporting Sweden’s membership in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

In addition to the sale of the F-35 jets, the US plans to give Greece two C-130H aircrafts, 10 engines for P-3 aircrafts and 60 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles for free from its excess defense articles.
