US, “Israel” Arguing Over Selling Croatia Advanced F-16 Fighters

Local Editor

Croatia urged the Zionist entity on Thursday to overcome a rare disagreement with the United States and to confirm it can carry through on a deal to sell 12 used American-made warplanes.

In further details, Croatia’s Defense Ministry said it needed an answer from the “Israeli” entity by Jan. 11 or the Balkan country’s $500 million order for a dozen F-16 aircraft would be canceled.

The occupation regime made a tentative deal to sell the upgraded F-16 Barak fighters to Croatia in March pending US approval for allowing the jets to go to a third party.

The deal ran into trouble after the US State Department hinted that the Zionist entity needs to strip off the upgrades that were added after it took delivery of the planes from the US some 30 years ago.

The occupation entity upgraded the jets with sophisticated electronic and radar systems, which was crucial in Croatia’s decision to buy the planes from “Israel” rather than from the US.
