US lawmaker wants to block F-35 sales to Turkey over embassy brawl

You haven't seen much thing related with Turkish industry right now. It will take time but Patience is a good manner to realize the importance of what I am talking. Hopping embargo to sleep well suits for small characters. The more Turkish industry advance, The more the people like you come to criticize/compare what We are introducing. You should focus on Turkish Naval projects instead of the ones related with other forces. We are in a timeline talking about constructing a heavier domestic submarine that hasn't been never built such capable one launching domestic tomahawk like missiles, a Destroyer like warship that has one of the longest range radar monitoring capability never built before, 2 LHD ( One is on dock ) and 1 Aircraft carrier so A fighter like F-35B is being planned to acquire. If F-35 sale is blocked by USA, It just cause some delays but Noone can pull our ambitious out of roadway.
will wait and see
 
Take a tour in history ?

- Past: USA restricted export of artillery missiles to Turkey = Today: Domestic 122mm, 230mm, 300mm and 600mm artillery missile inventory with around 10m CEP rates is in the hand of Turkish Land Forces.

- Past: Germany blocked export of Leo-2A6 = Today: Altay MBT from armours to FCS, Active protection system and ARH variant is revealed (Some systems are already under development). A light tank is even developed for Indonesia. 1000 Altay will be produced for land forces.

- Past: Turkey warned France not to sell Storm Shadow cruise missiles to Greece but They sold = Today: Turkey is producing own cruise missiles like a cake. One variant of Turkish cruise missile called SOM-J is even selected for F-35 to be exported to costumers via USA company.

- Past: USA refused integration of Turkish mission computers to AH-1Z which was ordered around 145 = Today: Turkey developed own attack helicopter thanks to Italian fuselage know-how contribution from radar to missiles avionics and turbo-shaft engine in development and actively exporting right now. No need to mention 3 utility helicopter project that one of them is revealed !

- Past: USA refused to export armed drones = Today: Turkey has three different variant of UAVs armed with domestic munitions hunting terrorists like insects right now.

- Past: USA refused tech transfer of Patriot Missiles = Today: Turkey is developing own Long altitude SAM system, While acquiring S-400 from Russia as stop-gap solution. Manpad-Low and Medium Altitude SAM missiles are in their prototype trial/detail design phase.

If USA blocks export of F-35 to Turkey, Turkey will alter course to Pak-FA like platform as stop gap until TF-X became operational !


Small calculations doesn't make much sense against a country like Turkey. We are not like a spoiled puppet small state needing big boys protection/money/tech/politic help to survive. Such activities just take our valuable time before reaching our goal !


Nothing is impossible it will just take some time
