Turkey’s S-400 vs F-35 dilemma in 2019

[what]

Turkey can always withdraw from NATO and turn to Russia/China.

Except no one in NATO except for the Americans has any issues with S400 or Turkey.

Won't work.

Today they are blocking sale of F35, tomorrow they can block spare parts of F35. So if Turkey buy F35 first and then buy S400, US can still make the F35s useless with spare parts.

The F-35 will always remain prone to blackmail. The F-35 is like a golden dagger for Turkey. Too tempting yet dangerous and unreliable supplier.

Turkey made the right choice with S-400.

TurAF has been supplied with their F16s and others for a long time. We made a peace operation to Cyprus with made in US fighters. So far everything has been good. However we could buy other made in US fighters such f16 or f18.

S-400 all the way, i think Pakistan also needs S-400, But i think Pakistan is not interested or can not afford S-400.

not on offer for Pakistan
nothing is more dear than the security of country

1. Everbody who thinks Russia or China are more reliable than the US lost his mind, they are all the same.
2. If TR leaves the JSF project, Turkish companies will feel the financial impact, that's for sure.

I personally don't see any chance that Turkey will go or even get modern Russian/Chinese Aircrafts, we have totally different standarts let alone their approval in integration of our own systems.
Did you guys really think that turning a Russian standart SU-57 to Turkish standarts is cheap and that easy?
SU-57 or J-31 aren't even in serial production, it would take them YEARS until they could deliver.

To the dilemma... with serious pressure from Turkey the US could/would agree only if we also buy Patriots for a ridicolous price.

After having s400, transition process will be started very fast.
And how can Pakistan use either chinese and Usa jet fighters at the same time??
Beacause reality is not like that, you try to manipulate the reality by your words.

There is NATO summit on 8th of April. İt is being said: Turkish Foreign minister who will attend the summit will face threads of sanctions.

We are not Pakistan who always bought their weapons from both side.

I'm not manipulating anything, that is the reality you can't use a SU-35/57 with our NATO systems, not before serious modifications.

US top general: We are negotiating with Turkish partners to solve the incident. They don’t want to lose a valuable partner from such a strategic program.

Russian Defense commision head: We will not give up delivery of S-400 to Turkey but the Refusal of Turkey (from the S-400 Triumph - IF) cannot be ruled out.

The choice of S400 is duo to the hostility of the u.s towards Turkey. They made a coup attemt. They dont give Gulen. They weaponize YPG. They do everything that harms the interests of Turkey.

Turkey just cant cancel the s400. Its a clear messsage to u.s

 

[CAN_TR]

LOL.

If US cancel F-35 delivery, Turkey must speed up TFX project. This is only possible with more technical, economic and human resources support. Question is, where will you get all this support.

If US cancels F-35 project for Turkey, they will surely push the brits to stop their participation to the TFX program IMO, and than what?
