India is not getting the f-35 anytime. even the f-16 deal is not a given with India
lastly India is a tad bigger than Turkey

US fear that F35 lie will be expose after Turkey have both. Practically F35 is not effective against S400

 

[Wow]

interesting video

What is the double standard and hypocrisy ? There is none.

Turkey is NATO member. India is not.
Turkey operates F-16s and wants to purchase F-35s. India does not.

India is much bigger than Turkey to boot

Greece too operates s300. Never seen Washington considering any such action against Olympus

Does turkey have? And I believe Greece is also a NATO member so?

Turks must not pay heed to what the islamists have to say just keep pushing for the f 35 to be delivered

So the theory of mating yankee computer with the ruskie doesn't fall flat here?

“The S-400 is a computer. The F-35 is a computer. You don’t hook your computer to your adversary’s computer and that’s basically what we would be doing,” Katie Wheelbarger, acting assistant secretary of defense for international security affairs, told Reuters.

So the Indian purchase of S-400 is kosher for United States, considering the US defence firms are offering big ticket items to India, e.g. advanced F-16s (dubbed F-21) with sensitive technology from the F-35 program.

F35 and F16/F21 is chalk and cheese

I think India has the benefit of hindsight having seen how the US Policy is to use its arms as a extension of its foreign interests and policy. I think they would be unwise to go down that route. However whether the French will deal with them any differently remains to be seen. The Feench model weems more to fleece nations on spare parts q d upgrade options. On the other hand it seems that at least in the past the Russian service industry has been very ineffective as well.
So where does one go?
