U.S. Ambassador to Athens Geoffrey Pyatt has confirmed Greece’s intention to buy F-35s.
Two U.S. Air Force F-35A Lightning IIs, assigned to the 4th Fighter Squadron from Hill Air Force Base, Utah, conduct flight training operations over the Utah Test and Training Range on Feb 14, 2018. The F-35A is a single-seat, single engine, fifth generation, multirole fighter that’s able to perform ground attack, reconnaissance and air defense missions with stealth capability.

Pyatt says the U.S. government welcomes the decision by Athens “at the highest levels” and will support the aquistion.
