#1 Four JSOWs and Six JDAMs?

SO... on the first day of the war, ten of the forty planes can carry one guided bomb each.

And on the second day it's back to dumb iron?

Unless they're buying these bombs for specific and limited-in-number targets, like the Italian Feta factories...

#2 Yes, but what about the feta?

#3 The feta is locally sourced WMD. Greece already has 140 F-16C/Ds, but sadly for them, Turkey has 240 of them. I think the additional F-16 buy, instead of Eurofighter, Rafale or Russian, is to ensure a priority slot for an F-35 buy. Turkey is a partner in the F-35 program and will get them before Greece.
