US completely abandons Turkish components for F-35

26

Turkey is finally excluded from the production program of the fifth generation fighter F-35. According to Defense News, the United States has almost finished replacing the search for components for aircraft previously manufactured at Turkish plants.

As the newspaper writes, the American companies Lockheed Martin and Pratt & Whitney "have made impressive progress" in finding alternative suppliers for the components of the fifth generation F-35 Lightning II fighter produced in Turkey. To date, it has been possible to find an alternative replacement for Turkish aircraft components by 98,8 percent. According to Lieutenant General Eric Fick, responsible for the F-35 Lightning II program, only 12 components out of 1000 produced in Turkey remain to be replaced, while eleven of them relate to the fighter's airframe and only one - the rotor blades - of the engine.



According to the general, it is planned that by March next year the production of the F-35 aircraft will completely cease to depend on components manufactured in Turkey. However, the United States will continue to purchase Turkish parts for some time until the production of alternatives to replace them is fully deployed.

Recall that Turkey initially participated in the program for the creation of the fifth-generation American fighter F-35 along with the United States and other countries. Washington decided to exclude Ankara from this program after the latter purchased the Russian C-400 anti-aircraft missile system.

      However, import substitution.
      Not all of Russia "suffers" from US sanctions. Let them now suffer from their own.

          it remains to replace only 12 of the 1000 components manufactured in Turkey, while eleven of them relate to a fighter glider and only one - the rotor blades - of the engine

          according to the complexity of manufacture, the rotor blade can be equivalent to the remaining 999 parts

      The main thing is that the Americans do not block the supply of engines for TF-X. They can do this if Israel asks.

      operation ... punishment of the obstinate ... BUT only the hegemon’s situation is not right ... the market will quickly offer Turkey (but at least Russia) everything that the USA and other types of partners will not give ... weapons do not meet NATO standards. .. well, all right ... the alliance is already sagging on the Turkish question ... which was especially clearly shown by the problem with Cyprus and the conflict (with NATO member, incidentally) by Greece ... and even an attempted coup from which the ears of amers (and the Germans stick say involved) a case in point ...
      total: a demarche leading to a loss of the market ... and then possibly an ally (if at all the parties go to the end) ...
      perspective: color performances since the military didn’t work ...

          maybe the Turks themselves will assemble the mover because they collect their jets Hirkushi and it’s not for nothing that they bought British style (I don’t know English) with 1500 developments

            The Turkish economy is not only tomatoes and tourism.
            They need to increase energy supply, to which Russia really helps them, industry, any, will immediately increase efficiency and opportunities ... more sales markets, but this directly depends on economic efficiency, the price of goods offered depends. In this, too, life from Russia may not be small.

        It makes sense to the Americans to buy some deserted island from Greece and build a base there. And the Greeks financial affairs correct, and the Americans - there is no headache.

          Why did you decide that the Greeks sell their land?

          Why can not Americans sell Israel to the base?

            The Greeks put up for sale deserted islands without sources of fresh water when they were in a financial crisis. I don’t know if anyone bought it.

      Recall that Turkey initially participated in the program for the creation of the fifth-generation American fighter F-35 on a par with the United States and other countries.


      Why the production of a "super product" for military purposes, so necessary to ensure the national security of their state,
      to allow other states, and what are scattered far from their territory ?! Accessories in a dozen countries, and production in the USA and Italy!
      This suggests that the US military-industrial complex, already initially planned to produce this "super-duper", not to ensure US national security, but as
      super-expensive goods for sale, to their "union-suckers". Yes

      But, Japan and Israel (initially not coming out of this program) for some reason acquired the F-35 much earlier than the Turks ????
      Yes, and among the incoming, the same was in the tail ....

      Recently, Russia said that it was ready to help Turkey with a domestic fighter ...- I wonder if among the 1000 components from the F-35 produced by Turkey, what could be of interest to Russia ????
      After all, someone else's head is a different approach, a different solution, other technologies ...
