Turkey considers Russian Su-57 or Chinese J-31 jets to replace F-35s

its a safe key and a stop gap all in one.

For the same reason that they will purchase a Russian fighter. This will add to the R&D for their indigenous program

Can you really believe that russians gonna share critical parts of a fighter plane? Can you tell me why Russian-Indian joint fighter program has ended? These news(that turkey will buy russian su-35) is just playing cards openly before erdoğan-trump meeting. "Hey if you dont give me f35 i will buy another russian system like I did with the s400". Noting more. I believe Military and government still want to buy F35. Ministers says "We are still part of the f35 program. We countinue to deliver parts of f35" ever two weeks. Buying russian system before we are 100% sure we wont get any f35 is just shooting our own foot

Nope, Turkey send the choppers for overhaul to Russia to a dubious Russian company for the lowest price and that company went bankrupt. Than the choppers stayed there stored for more than a year (I do not know how long exactly) till a new agreement was made the choppers have been overhauled and returned to Turkey. These choppers are still in use with the Gendarme.

Turkey will not buy Russian Su-35 fighter jets, says defense minister

ANKARA, October 29. /TASS/. Turkey’s National Defense Minister Hulusi Akar on Tuesday refuted media reports about Ankara’s plans to buy Russian Su-35 fighter jets.

"Reports that Turkey will buy Su-35 fighter jets are not true. We are partners on the F-35 project [US fifth-generation fighter jets]. We want our rights to be granted," the Haberler news portal quoted him as saying.

Turkey’s Daily Sabah newspaper reported on October 25 that Ankara and Moscow were close to a deal on Turkey’s purchase of 36 Russian Su-35 fighter jets. Apart from that, the newspaper claimed, that the sides were looking at possible production of certain components for the Russian planes in Turkey.

Meanwhile, director of Russia’s Federal Service for Military Technical Cooperation Dmitry Shugayev said on October 22 that it was too early to speak about contract negotiations on Russian Su-35 and Su-57 deliveries to Turkey. However, in his words, consultations were underway.

The topic of Turkey’s possible purchase of Russian fighter jets surfaced after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s visit to Moscow on August 27. He demonstrated interest in Sukhoi combat aircraft when together with Russian President Vladimir Putin they were visiting the MAKS-2019 aerospace show outside Moscow. He said he did not rule out that Turkey could buy Russian Su-35 and Su-57 jets instead of F-35. "Why not," he noted.

The White House said in mid-July that "Turkey’s decision to purchase Russian S-400 air defense systems renders its continued involvement with the F-35 impossible." Ankara planned to buy 100 such aircraft and manufactured some of equipment, avionics and hull elements under the F-35 program.

In my opinion we should do the following:

• Purchase SU-57s for use as a deterrent. We need new fighter jets ASAP and they are the best we can get.
• Work hard on the TFX. It will take a long time to complete but will be worth it in the end.
• Simultaneously start a project for carrier drones. I'm sure we can develop drones that will work with the TCG Anadolu LHD.

We can't rely on America anymore after this genocide bullsh!t. I think we will waste our time if we wait for the F35.

Was just about to post Business Insider article about SU-35 seems it's been debunked will not happen.

Indeed there is no point in getting F35 after the Muricans accepted the 1.5 trillion dead armenoids.

Su-57 would be a better choice for Turkey, and Russia also needs the money to complete the project.
It will be a win-win cooperation.

But we can not ignore J-31...

Really its can be a wonderful fighting Machine...

The future of J31 is very uncertain, I personally have no confidences in SAC. You can not judge from the appearance.

What is the problem with SAC ?

What is the problem with SAC ?

SAC magically modified some jet fighters, they are familiar with modification, at least they are not certified to design a jet fighter from scratch.

More important is the culture of Northeast of China, the outstanding engineers were crowded out, that's why CAC established.
