It has something to do with the Eastern Med region including Egypt, Greece, Italy, France, and UAE who recently got involved. Turkey is trying stuff in the Eastern Med and if Greece needs to retaliate against these actions the F-35 is perfect for that role.
Greece 82 F-16 Viper until 2028
Turkish Aselsan GaN based AESA Radar will be ready in 3 years for F-16s
Maybe Greece will have 24 F-35s between 2025 and 2028
but Greece until receives 24 F35s , Turkey will have developed its own TFX Fighter Jet , MIUS turbofan engine powered stealth UCAV , TF-2000 class Air warfare Destroyer , HISAR and SIPER medium/long range Air Defense Systems also more S400 Air Defense Systems will be in service
btw Greek F-35s will not find its Air Bases , when Greek F-35s comeback for landing
because of Turkish Armed Forces J600T , ATACMS , BORA , SOM , ATMACA , GEZGIN , KARGI , KGK-LR , HARM , AKBABA , SLAM-ER and RAMJET powered supersonic Cruise Missile to destroy all Air Bases and Air Defense Systems in Greece and Greek Islands in a few hours
Greece was never bailed out ..... Greece remains a debtor's prison and the evidence is everywhere to be found that Greece is slowly dying under its EU induced euthanasia
and Greece to remain a European slave Colony until 2060 ... still Greece is dreaming about fighting with regional super power Turkey
-- Turkey has bigger GDP PPP than Greece+Israel+Egypt combined
-- Turkey has more military projects than Greece+Israel+Egypt combined
Greeks should pray for ERDOGAN that He spent over $60 billion for humanitarian aid to muslim countries between 2012 and 2019 , instead of producing tens of thousands of Ballistic and Cruise Missiles to turn not only Greece , but also whole region into stone age
