NATO countries painfully reacted to Erdogan's interest in Su-57
The media in a number of NATO countries show that the authorities reacted rather painfully to the appearance of the President of NATO Turkey at MAX-2019. Recall that the day before Erdogan arrived in Zhukovsky as the head of the Turkish delegation and in a joking manner asked Vladimir Putin whether the Su-57 was flying and whether it was possible to buy this plane. The way the Su-57 flies, Erdogan was shown to Russian pilots. The President of Russia answered Erdogan that you can buy a plane.
It was Erdogan’s interest in the new generation Russian fighter that caused a painful reaction in NATO.
In particular, the Norwegian media jerked around showing the Su-57 to the Turkish president. The Aftenposten newspaper decided in its article to call the Russian aircraft "the so-called fifth generation fighter."
In the American media they write that Erdogan "is bluffing, trying to scare Washington by demonstrating a desire to acquire fighters from the Russians."
The German edition of Bild writes that Erdogan has to demonstrate warm relations with Moscow, as recently the Russian military police actually prevented the Assad army from attacking the Turkish observation post in Moreka (Idlib) and in the north of the Hama province. The publication notes that Erdogan is finding it increasingly difficult to wage war on two fronts - against the Kurds and against the Syrian army. At the same time, in Germany, some experts believe that Erdogan "needs to have more contact with NATO, and not with Russia, to solve the problems of Turkish security." And this is said in Germany, which itself is criticized in NATO for "insufficient funding for the organization."
Some time ago, Turkish authorities said they could consider buying fighter jets from Russia if the US finally refused Ankara to sell the F-35.
