America doesn't have a problem with sanctioning a NATO member, it makes no difference as there's nothing anybody else can do if the U.S. does sanction Turkey. Donald Trump doesn't play around when it comes to sanctions he does what he says he is going to such as the sanctions on China, and Iran.
retard f*cking dumb*ss fa*got. These are important Ones.If turkey stop to split them. Whole programme of F-35 if abandoned.
Lol no its not, the U.S. alone could develop the F-35 with ease while Turkey doesn't have the capability to develop a jet right now. You don't think Turkey could be easily replaced? You're delusional.
They are same.
These are ill-advised comparisons from a bunch of amateurs.
US could develop entire F-35 by itself, but it outsourced some of its work to other countries in order to reduce its cost of production, and make it export-worthy.
This is all false.
come on 48n6e3 and 40N6E are completely different
I am not talking about 48N6E3.
look at the shape of the missiles.I am not talking about 48N6E3.
This one:
- is 40N6E
"According to official data, the missile’s destruction range is up to 380 km for aerodynamic targets and up to 15km for ballistic weapons at an altitude ranging from 10 m to 35 km. The average flight speed is 1,190 m/s. Thanks to its new homing head, the missile can destroy aircraft beyond the boundaries of the radio visibility of ground-based radars."

"The 40N6 is a long-range missile designed to counter early warning and electronic warfare aircraft, hardened ground targets, and ballistic and cruise missiles. Reports indicate the missile’s destruction range is up to 380 km for aerodynamic targets and up to 15 km for ballistic weapons at an altitude ranging from 10 m to 35 km."

Claims of this interceptor being effective against potential targets at up to 185 KM in altitude are unsubstantiated, and way beyond the capacity of an S-400 system to manage in battlefield conditions.
NOTE: Any defense-oriented system is as effective as its radar (or series of radars) allow it to be.
S-500 can be effective in defeating potential targets at up to 100 KM in altitude (equal to Israeli Arrow 3), but S-400 can be effective in defeating potential targets targets at up to 35 KM in altitude, which is decent enough for the needs of many potential customers anyways.
Infographics do not matter; actual missile might have a different look.look at the shape of the missiles.
the missile is 48n6e3, 40n6e is theone at the bottom

Asharq Al-Awsat
The United States approved on Wednesday the sale of Patriot missiles to Turkey.
The State Department said it had informed Congress of plans to sell Turkey a Patriot package that includes 80 Patriot missiles, and 60 PAC-3 missile interceptors and related equipment, in a deal worth $3.5 billion.
"The proposed sale will increase the defensive capabilities of the Turkey military to guard against hostile aggression and shield NATO allies who might train and operate within Turkey's borders," a statement said.
Ankara a year ago announced a deal to purchase rival S-400 missiles from Russia, drawing a rebuke from its allies in NATO -- a group originally formed as a bulwark against the Soviet Union.
A State Department official said that Turkey was jeopardizing participation in another US military program, the coveted F-35 fighter jets, if Turkey still went ahead with the S-400 sale.
Turkey could also face sanctions on defense purchases under US law if it goes ahead, the official said on condition of anonymity.
A purchase from Russia "would have serious ramifications for US ability to do business with Turkey across the defense trade spectrum," the official said.
"It is important that NATO countries procure military equipment that is interoperable with NATO systems. A Russian system would not meet that standard," he said.
Meanwhile, two Turkish officials said Ankara has not changed its decision to buy the S-400 missile defense systems from Russia but welcomes the Patriot system sale.
One official described the State Department decision as good signal for Ankara's troubled relations with Washington, and Turkey was now waiting for the next US step.
"Turkey has not changed the decision to buy the S-400 defense system from Russia," the official said. "As an ally, the US should sell it to Turkey...but we have been waiting their approval."
The announcement comes hours after President Donald Trump said that the United States had defeated ISIS in neighboring Syria -- leading to the withdrawal of US troops, who had effectively protected Turkey's campaign against Kurdish fighters.
There was no immediate indication that the two announcements were linked, although Trump has made clear that arms sales are a top priority for him.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Monday vowed to "remove" the Kurdish fighters if necessary, as he said he had spoken by telephone with Trump and agreed on cooperation in Syria.

what sanctions have been on Turkey for the past 40 years that were serious? or are you just playing victim because EU didnt allow you into EU because of your human rights violations against Kurds? US put the FIRST serious sanctions on Turkey some months ago in retaliation for Turkey keeping the US pastor detained, and Turkey's economy WOBBLED. thats facts. Turkey has the most available ground forces in NATO, so it makes no sense for US or EU to economically cripple a NATO member that would be needed in any serious NATO involved conflict. You also forget that without US Turkey would be an old military with old equipment and old technology.lulz yo there have been sanctions the past 40 years from these "Allied NATO- countries ". Actually these sanctions belong to the primary reason why turkey established its indepedent defence industry
