    The United States is mulling over selling three Cobra helicopters and
    several Predator surveillance aircraft to Turkey, to be delivered
    by the end of the year to assist in the campaign against the PKK,
    the Press TV reports.

    The Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) has formally notified
    the US Congress of a possible sale of AH-1W Super Cobra Attack
    helicopters to Turkey, CNN reported on Friday.

    Ankara has been seeking the helicopters to replace those lost in its
    long struggle against separatist rebels of the Kurdistan Workers'
    Party, which is also known by its Kurdish acronym, the PKK.

    The deal, valued at up to $111 million, would "improve Turkey's
    capability for self defense, modernization, regional security and
    inter-operability with US and other NATO members," the DSCA said in
    a statement, the Press TV reports.
