US will offer Turkey its products instead of Russian Su-35 and Su-57

The United States will urge Turkey to abandon the purchase of Russian weapons and give preference to the US. This statement was made by US Under Secretary of Defense John Rood, commenting on reports of Ankara’s interest in the Russian Su-35 and Su-57 fighters.

US will offer Turkey its products instead of Russian Su-35 and Su-57




Answering journalists' question, how could Turkey’s possible purchase of Russian Su-35 and Su-57 aircraft affect further cooperation with the United States, the deputy defense minister said that Washington would urge Ankara to buy only American products instead of Russian, but did not explain what the United States was ready to offer Turkey in this regard.

This is the direction in which we will urge Turkey to move, in favor of weapons produced by the United States, which takes into account compatibility. But, of course, Turkey is an independent country that can make its own decisions. But we are ready to partner with them about this

- he said.

Earlier it was reported that in connection with the purchase by Turkey of Russian S-400 air defense systems, the United States excluded it from the program for creating the fifth-generation American fighter F-35. After that, there were reports that the Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan showed interest in the Russian Su-35 and Su-57 fighters and the possibility of their further purchase. At the same time, Erdogan emphasized that the American F-35 remains a priority for Turkey.

      I disagree. Geopolitics for the USA IS business. It is simply that America cannot and does not want to do geopolitics otherwise than "on bayonets". Plus, even if the next "bayonet" does not manage to snatch the vassals at exorbitant prices, then one fig will take its own Pentagon, demanding from Congress through lobbyists another inflation of the military budget (and printing another trillion trillion greenish cut paper for the Fed is a trivial matter). So the gun tycoons (read America's most influential circles) are in the win anyway.

        Well, it's not that simple. Someone else needs to sniff this "paper". And, to be absolutely precise, the paper dollar or its equivalent in the computer is not the same petrodollar zero as the Treasury.

        The debt economy (the so-called "Reaganomics") has a limit. The limit has been pushed back several times thanks to a series of miraculous events. But now it looks like everything.

        The Fed is forced to raise interest rates for the development of the economy, but along with it the burden of debt servicing also increases.

          The United States has been living in debt with the whole world for decades. And for the time being, it suits all large holders of cut paper. Just because until the internal unrest in the country begins, and until the US Army remains enormously inflated, creditors will not demand their backward. They also have enough interest that the United States and the Treasury are still able to pay. But the system is vicious from the beginning, and EVERYTHING understands this.
          Therefore, America needs a hard rezet. Those. - war. Ideally, it’s global, and so that it DOESN’t actually touch it AGAIN. The only question is how soon it will begin. And all the plans of the Pentagon are aimed at creating just such an ideal scenario.

        another puffy trillion greenish cut paper

        And what's the point of producing something like that?
        This is not a consumer product. It is not used and is not applied. The rocket just lies in the warehouse until the expiration date. This is just the value taken out of circulation. Isn’t it easier to just give out this money? At a minimum, you do not need to spend resources on the production of what is of no value to the end user.

        Or maybe...
        I think this is partially realized in the fact that weapons are bought at many times overpriced.

        So he (Erdogan) is not eternal even without the participation of the States. There (in Turetchina) too, sometimes elections happen. Erdogan has just extremely developed, lately, "phantom pains" over the Ottoman Empire. So he is engaged in blackmail. And he is not the first, by the way. There is also at least one country member of NATO and the EU, which succeeded in blackmail. Perhaps there will be others.

        In order for the 57 to peck at the 35, it is necessary that at least more or less equal air forces collide. The quality of air forces is not only airplanes.

      The Turks are now using f16, the ammunition of this aircraft is also suitable for f35. And it is accumulated during operation. Turkey also has elements of production f35. That's why they want him first of all. When buying a Su-57, you will have to acquire an arsenal of weapons for it, but this is not a small amount of money.

    The Americans will not tolerate that the Turks had both C-400 and F-35 at the same time. They already want the Turks to breathe somewhere with the existing C-400. This is understandable, because the Turks, if they simultaneously own both, can declare quite authoritatively about the degree of invisibility of the F-35, and indeed the American technology stealth. Moreover, regardless of what it actually is. Just from one of their words, stealth will either grow authority to heaven, or will be beneath the plinth. After all, no one, neither Russians, nor Americans, nor Germans, nor Greeks, nor French, in general, no one could conduct a t.s. full-scale tests properly. Well, as if with the pathos of independent research.
    Those. while Turkey has at least one C-400, then there can be no question of a single F-35.

    The trick is that at the moment it is probably wiser to buy the upgraded F-15 and F-16 from the USA - they are brought to mind. F-35, in fact, is an unworkable stub of F-22, and F-22 is not tearing into any budget by any side.
    Those. Erdogan will also remain in profit - he will strengthen his defenses and throw off fuss with a failed program, and he will also save money
