US Approves $3.1 Billion Fighter Sale To Greece

40 F-16 C/D Models On The Way

Yes.

That's the answer from the Pentagon to Greece on the sale of 40 Block 52 F-16C and D models, a deal valued at $3.1 billion.

The aircraft will be equipped with F100-PW-229 engines and APG-68(V)9 radar systems, night vision goggles, reconnaissance pods and an assortment of weaponry. While the US Congress has 30 days to block the sale, that's not seen as likely, sources said.

"The modernization of Greece's F-16 fleet will increase the effectiveness of its contribution and capabilities to future NATO, coalition, and anti-terrorism operations," the Defense Security and Cooperation Agency said in a statement on the proposed sale. The statement was quoted by the Australian Associated Press. "This will also enhance Greece's ability to patrol the nation's extensive coastline and borders against future threats, contribute to the global war on terrorism, and to NATO operations."
