Turkey only buys NATO weapons but went for S-400s and now wants to buy Su-35s or Su-57s.
All these years Turkey could have bought a squadron of JF-17s and support Pakistan. Americans wouldn't have protested much since Pakistan is an ally of theirs as well. And in case of embargo,Turkey would have had a lot of spare parts and supplies from Pakistan.
All that "Turkey can develop this and that"...is that just fairy-tales. You've had problems with the Altay,making a 5th generation jet fighter is a LOT harder. Yes,yes you'll tell me "hur dur we had problem with engine,now we make our own engine for Altay". I don't know,I doubt it.
Making something similar to a fully functional F-16 Viper or an F-35 is pretty darn tough and Turkey is still new to this.
Brother nation Pakistan could have sold you JF-17s and you could have supported them,but you basically snubbed them on that.
Pakistan has replaced US with China.
Turkiye is replacing US with Russia.
Next Turkiye will be procuring S-500s and replacing their F-16s with SU-75s.
