Turkish authorities commented on US refusal to supply F-35

The Turkish government commented on the decision of the US Congress to terminate Turkey’s participation in the fifth-generation F-35 fighter program. Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım said on this occasion that Ankara will find an alternative to the American fighter, the Turkish television channel NTV reports.

In his statement, Yıldırım noted that the refusal of Turkey’s participation in the production program and the subsequent use of the fifth-generation American fighter F-35 is certainly an unfortunate development of the situation, is regrettable and contrary to the spirit of strategic partnership. But at the same time, Ankara will not remain without an alternative to this fighter.

At the same time, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Turkey Mevlüt авavuşoлуlu, answering journalists ’questions regarding the refusal of the US Congress to acquire the fifth generation F-35 aircraft, allegedly due to the C-400 deal with Russia, said that the issue was completely closed and Turkey case will acquire anti-aircraft missile systems C-400.

It should be noted that at present Turkey, in the framework of the production and subsequent operation of the 5 generation fighter, the F-35 has transferred to the USA about 800 million dollars. In addition, from the very beginning, Turkey was one of the nine main participants in the F35 development program. In accordance with the contract, Ankara should get the 120 latest fighter-bombers. Turkey also produces one of the most important parts of the F35 design and has committed itself to the maintenance and installation of the F-35 engines.

Earlier, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that Ankara will not abandon the deal with Russia on the acquisition of C-400 air defense systems, even under the threat of imposing sanctions.

In any case, Turkey will acquire S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems.

Turkey also wants to buy the S-500.

[Logall]

It's simple: the US is afraid that the whole world will learn about the vulnerability of their efof to our s-400 systems!

Quote: dorz

Turkey already wants to buy the S-500.

Correct: produce! Together with us ... Under the Indians mow ...

[MPN]

It’s not clear all the same .., they threw it out of the program or simply refused delivery? In delivery, if, then this is temporary, I am sure ...

[Shurik70]

From the very beginning, Turkey was one of the nine main participants in the F35 development program.

If the Turks did not just sign up, but financed the program, then the scandal would be terrible.
I suppose the Americans are just scaring, and then they will "have mercy." For example, Turkey will buy the S-400, then the “fanatic” will crash Erdogan (perhaps they will find a ticket for Moscow-Istanbul in his pocket), the new president will say “since they’ve bought it, then don’t throw them away,” the USA will “come to an understanding” and put F-35. Money doesn't smell.

[oleg-gr]

For Erdogan made a choice. This will push him to cooperate with other fifth-generation aircraft manufacturers.

[bouncyhunter]

As I said earlier: in any situation, the Turks will not lose anything. And whoever loses is not their concern.

[Logall]

And you say more often, Pasha! And it’s better not for us, but somewhere higher ... Maybe they will listen ?! We will give recommendations if necessary ... And then, you, I took the habit of being silent.

[bouncyhunter]

Sanya, who will listen to me at the top? They are very smart strategists there without me. I’d better express my opinion here - maybe VO and celestials read.

[Logall]

You, tady, save thought until your best years! I suppose they have accumulated enough ... Perhaps they will come in handy for us, if time comes.

[Going]

Greetings to honest people! , Turks dream of co-production of the S-500.

And what about the intrigue of the 1st century: do our "invisibles" see our air defense systems or do not see them? Let's wait for the first shot down

[Shahno]

Well, they see or do not see ... In Syria, there is a result, not a single damaged and several destroyed targets (as confirmation, an earthquake or video of an armor).

[Mountain shooter]

I won’t say for the S-500, but let Migari buy it. They are also 35th

The Muslim brother rules the Turks now, just like Hamas, the Americans and Europeans still suffer, but soon this will come to an end

[Vadim851]

So there really is something in this F-35 time the United States took such a step. Moreover, sales need to beat off costs, but they can count money. Moreover, it undermines reliability and joint projects are unlikely to be further.

Politics and nothing more ... Anyone (well, who is not connected with Russia) will buy this device from them, please, if only there is enough money ...

[Vadim851]

Taiwan, as an option, could buy 20-30 pieces, as it were, it’s not visible anymore. India is unlikely.

[mihey]

Turkey, within the framework of the production and subsequent operation of the 5th generation fighter F-35, has transferred about $ 800 million to the United States

And will someone return the money or not? France returned us under the contract, but these are more likely "no."

[voyaka uh]

Money will be returned to the Turks, of course.

[123456789]

Quote: voyaka uh

Money will be returned to the Turks, of course.

With interest?
And the contractual penalty ...

[Shahno]

Qatar will pay ...

[Halkalak]

All that is required by contract. In the words of Ostap Bender, you are not in the church, Shura, they will not deceive you

[Wedmak]

France built ships according to a ready-made project, a little finished according to our requirements, and here development from scratch. It is unlikely to be returned.

[Halkalak]

Is there a contract? Or money was transferred from hand to hand in a suitcase and shook with a handshake

[Wedmak]

I strongly doubt that the development and delivery contract is one and the same document.

[Troll]

It would not be desirable for the consumer, but the manufacturer has always dictated, dictates and will dictate both the price and delivery conditions. And it’s the same whether it’s a plane or a potato. Another thing is a lot of manufacturers of potatoes, and producers F35 two times and miscalculated.

[cariperpaint]

Yeah .. this is no longer a game with two cards face down on the flop ... Now the game of nerves has begun ... In fact, reversing is no longer possible on both sides.

[voyaka uh]

The problem here is not in Turkey’s plans to buy the S-400 -
this is only a trigger, but in the general political Islamization of this country
President Erdogan.
A more general right step would be to expel Turkey from NATO.

Do not read Soviet (Russian) newspapers in the morning.
The agreement between Ankara and Washington on the supply of fifth-generation F-35 fighter-bombers remains in effect, the first plane will be handed over to Turkey on June 21, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said following talks with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
This statement was repeated by Cavusoglu an hour ago

What geographic relation does Turkey have to the North Atlantic block. Where is Turkey and where is the North Atlantic?

F-35'lerin teslimiyle ilgili de açıklama yapan Dışişleri Bakanı Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu, "21 Haziran'da F-35'lerin ilk teslimi için tören yapılacak" şeklinde konuştu. I’m tired of translating and correcting VO, the same source of NTV HABER.

They talked here, they say Ankara is looking at the PAK FA, it seems they even consider it as an alternative to the F-35 ... Bullshit, as for me. Congress’s decision may change, or the F-35 may fly to Turkey, bypassing the US Parliament. I don’t know ... Well, I can’t believe in the prospect of Turkey buying Sukhoi aircraft. By the way, the Turks, as I recall, had their own achievements in the fifth generation fighter. Maybe they themselves will collect something interesting

No Turks will not buy PAK-FA, SU-57 is still more of a fighter, and Turks need something that works on the surface. Turks also in the future need aircraft with short take-off and vertical landing for their Navy. But Drying isn’t suitable for this, having to make a choice if the Turks refuse, they will rather buy Typhoon than SU-57. An airplane is not an autonomous S-400 complex, adjusting the SU-57 to its own air forces is much more difficult and costly. All armament all equipment military training Turkey has Western armaments. Do not listen to the local cheers of the patriots, they think, “I bought a plane and I flew to bend everyone”, but in the matter, the plane must be operated by an American-made AWAC, all Russian avionics fighter, how do you imagine? .For Turks, the purchase of an SU-57 is an outburst of money in the air, Turkey does not have such capabilities to maintain two different air forces. In any case, they produce spare parts for the F-16 and can fly on it and also work with Saab to create their own fighter, General Electronics engines, the Airliner is developing Aselsan.

With BAE sistems and RR on engines and then there are some disagreements on ownership

[Tektor]

Quote: Lek38

for the Turks, the purchase of the SU-57 is the release of money into the air,

Well then, the Turks need to buy our super inconspicuous fighter-attack aircraft Yak-130. So be it, for $ 800 million they can sell 50 pieces.

[Tarasios]

Trampushka decided to engage in outright scam. A profitable business, though - for a very short time ...

[Faceless]

If everything goes at such a pace and Turkey does not receive the F-35, it will be necessary to award Trump for services to the Russian Federation: no other American president could turn his allies away from the USA)

[Wedmak]

It should be noted that currently Turkey, as part of the production and subsequent operation of the 5 generation fighter F-35, has transferred the United States about 800 million dollars.

That is, Turkey is now thrown at 800 lyamov in dollars, finding a not very logical excuse? Yes ... the United States continues to be very profitable to conduct business.

[Lekxnumx]

For the first time, American-made Bell-412 helicopters appeared over the sky in Baku. Preparations for the parade are in progress, along with MI-24, MI-24G, MI-35M, MI-17, KA-27 helicopters being transmitted by Azeri Defense, may there be war )))

[Zaurbek]

Turkish F35 most of all are not needed exactly by the Russian Federation. Because these are carriers of nuclear weapons in the south of the Russian Federation .... they are 99% needed for NATO and the United States. For all other needs of the Turks, 4 ++ and + fighters are quite suitable ...

but then what about NATO ships will go into the World Cup .... Often different work in the strait will begin with our help .... yes you never know what

Cool move- "You paid, but we thought and decided that we won’t sell you and we won’t refund the money either." Purely an AMIGAD shopping scheme ...

[mumhe]

Yes, we have these aircraft, you know. Though their own, even strangers were beaten.
