Will Turkey receive F-35 Joint Strike Fighters from The USA?

[BHarwana]

Then, how long will the training take for a pilot?Do we know?

Edit:
Right. AA is not a "state agency". I should have said "pro-government".

Look my friend the first pilots who will be trained on F-35 will become instructors. Currently Turkey has only 2 jets for training in US the number of jets will increase and the training program will pick up speed. I have no info on how many instructors Turkey plan to train in US so I cannot give any time frame my knowledge is limited in this field. All I can inform you is the method in which things will happen based on previous jet sales by US. Once Turkish instructors are trained Turkey can resume the training back home.

I can understand your concern about the new bill US senators have pushed and the time frame of one year on bill to decide the fate of F35 for Turkey but any planes that are used by Turkey belongs to Turkey US cannot block them. US might stop future deliveries but not the ones that have been already delivered to Turkey. US tries to hold the delivered one back Turkey can retaliate there many F22 stationed in Turkish air base. So don't worry Turkey has F-35 in it's hands.

It doesn't matter pro-what that AA is. They are news agencies, they cannot claim things by themselves, they always have to quote news from other sources. The AA report you shared is about Turkish FM's claim. So we have to discuss the reliablity of Turkish FM, not AA.

It's not a "regular pilot training", it's a pilot trainer training as far as i understand. In video, aerospace journalist claims that planes will land in Turkey in November 2019, so nearly 1,5 years.

OFF-Topic:
Bu ülkeyi yöneten hükümetin Dışişleri Bakanı'na dahi güvenmiyorsun ama değiştirmek için gerekeni de yapmıyorsun..

All depends on results of your elections.
If Erdogan wons than F-35 deliveries would complicate further.

He will most probably lose.
Even in that case, an early embargo on F-35 may be better for us. We will, then, have to find solutions like buying it from others with no embargo threats; or the best make our own fighting jets.

Just like we did after the American embargo during Cypruss Peace Operation in 1974. Every defence industry projects and the companies like Aselsan, TAI we see today were established after the embargo.

"Make things easy for India"

What do you mean?

if tukey gets F-35 while getting S-400 from russia. India can counter its own purchase of S-400 and get an pass for Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act when getting avengers from usa.

I dont think it will help. The US can always make decisions with/without reason.

Greece has S-300.

it still gives India some negotiation points... sometime thats all we need ... on the topic though I think usa will never want to lose its leverage on turkey ... F-35 will come sooner or later...

Western equipment is always better. Russians are "quantity" people rather than "quality".

You really are naive if you think we are going to get Su-57 any time soon...Even if we proceed to purchase it, the process itself might take 5-6 years and by then our indigenous plane would be flying

Western equipment might be better but at least the Russians have their own industry that helps them able to keep up with the West but also gives them a strong military rather than being dependant.

Their quantity of weapons is what allowed them to win many wars.

For me quality and quantity are just as important if you want to win a war.

@cabatli_53 is it possible to freeze the question? I would like to preserve the replies as an evidence of how people felt during current times. Unfortunately the number of "yes" votes are slightly increasing since the roll out ceremony.
