Trump's F-35 offer to Turkey alarms Greece, Athens warns of Aegean military imbalance

The article discusses concerns raised by Greece over the potential sale of F-35 fighter jets to Turkey by the United States under President Donald Trump. Greek officials, while not commenting publicly, have reportedly conveyed their worries to successive U.S. administrations, fearing that such a deal would disrupt the military balance in the Aegean Sea and provide an advantage to Turkey. Greece is set to receive its first 20 F-35s between 2028 and 2030, which will become central to its air force. Greek defense correspondent Vassilis Nedos highlights the risks of Turkey acquiring advanced weaponry, citing past incidents of aerial provocations and emphasizing the need for Greece to maintain air superiority. In response, Greece is advancing a major defense modernization effort with support from Israel, including the procurement of an integrated air defense system called the Achilles Shield.
