February 19, 2017The Value of X in F-X
Against the backdrop of a long period of uncertainty in Turkey as regards the F-X Project, February brought with it a major development in terms of progress. Thanks to UK Prime Minister Theresa May’s visit to Turkey, the much-awaited defence collaboration between the two countries has eventually materialised.
