If they wanted to deploy F-35 fighter jets at Incirlik Air Base, it means that the Russian-NATO tension has already left behind the Turkish-US tensions.How are they going to place nuke ready F35s in Incirlik with the S400 issue going on?
Or they deployed S-400 elsewhere.If they wanted to deploy F-35 fighter jets at Incirlik Air Base, it means that the Russian-NATO tension has already left behind the Turkish-US tensions.
maybe better if they give Turks the Patriot know how for missile. The Turks buy s-400 because they cant get PatriotUS will not give back the money. At best they will find something to barter, but no planes nor cash.
Samp t or south korean options are better than patriot. Patriot is a bad AD system proved in yemenmaybe better if they give Turks the Patriot know how for missile. The Turks buy s-400 because they cant get Patriot
Regarding SAMP-T this sam actually chosen by Turkiye after they dropped CPMIEC chinese misile. but now today the Turkiye has bad relationship with teh French (altough the SAMP T has signed before strained raltion and still SAMP T deployed on turkiye soil). How the condition of SAMP T development between french italy and turks any good progress beforeSamp t or south korean options are better than patriot. Patriot is a bad AD system proved in yemen

how about Turkish F-16 Viper option to buy? are the senate is clear to Turks?
For f16s, "they would delay it long enough that it does not make sense anymore" kind of approach seems to be the way. They would never openly reject LOR. Othervise, it would be disaster for any Nato ally to rely on US. It will give an upper hand to Russia that allies are not safe enough in the shield.Ismail Demir said: from our point of view, the f35 issue is closed.
i think a similar situation will be experienced with the new f16 b70 purchases.
i do not think that Turkiye will order military weapons from the US for a long time.
the meaningless decisions of the US brought Turkiye closer to China and Russia. if they continue like this, they will lose Israel too.For f16s, "they would delay it long enough that it does not make sense anymore" kind of approach seems to be the way.

began the part of global supply chain in these predicted most used aircraft in coming decade very useful and pump lot money to Turkey. rather than just make and produced instead produced spare part that need for F35 aircraft.Turkey should try to re-join F-35 project, not to buy some F-35 but produce the spare part.
Hurts my soul.Interesting article on F35. Basically claiming that it is the best fighter aircraft on earth today, and explaining why!5 Reasons the F-35 is the Best Fighter on Earth (Pictures)
In stealth mode, the F-35 can carry 5,700 lbs. internally, while in "beast mode" it can carry a full 22,000 lbs. of munitions.www.19fortyfive.com

Bullet points :
1. One aircraft three different uses. Conventional, Carrier Use and VSTOL
2. In stealth mode during first days of war. Then transforms in to Beast mode as a bomb truck.
3. With modular architecture, it has efficient hardware upgrades that reduce lifecycle and retrofit costs. Hence is being upgraded and updated both electronically and structurally as well as in terms of it’s software, continually.
4. It is also far more cost-effective to operate fewer types of aircraft, plus the F-35 can streamline training operations and require fewer suppliers making it more financially beneficial.
We need to look at these positive points and produce our TFX by emphasising these positives.
Then we need to look at all the problems this plane is having and the downsides whereby they are cleverly omitted from this article. And make sure that we have answers for those negatives in our TFX.
Once we achieve that, we will have a world class fighter plane in our hand.
But nothing in the world, can give the versatility of a F35.
Specifically the No1 bullet point. That puts this plane truly in a class of it’s own.
I wouldn't say it's exactly one aircraft, It has 3 different models for these three uses.Interesting article on F35. Basically claiming that it is the best fighter aircraft on earth today, and explaining why!5 Reasons the F-35 is the Best Fighter on Earth (Pictures)
