The letter itself outlines a 60-day countdown for the signing of the corresponding contracts.

Sources have suggested that the interstate agreement (FMS) is likely to be finalised shortly before the European elections, as the LOA deadline is on June 9.

The Hellenic Air Force is expected to receive the initial F-35 delivery in 2028.
