F-16 Fighter Jets: 243

With 243 F-16s, Turkiye has the second largest fleet of the fourth-generation fighter jet, with more advanced variants of the fighter set to join the fleet after the United States in January approved the sale of 40 Block-70 and the upgrade of 79 of its F-16 jets. The deal is valued at $23 billion. The agreement was struck after more than two years of waiting due to strained relations between the two countries. Washington went ahead with the sale only after Ankara recently ratified Sweden’s NATO membership bid.
