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.
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.
