I hope no one in NATO sells them any new arms before they agreed to FIN + SWE joining NATO. There needs to be PRESSURE on Erdogan.

Would the 'two squadrons of Eurofighter jets' be the Tranche 1 Typhoons slated for retirement? With mention of the C-130Js I wonder if it is.

But yes, no deal without the approval for Finland and Sweden first.
