Turkey will knock on another door if the United States does not allow it to buy Lockheed Martin's F-35 advanced fighter jets, broadcaster NTV quoted Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu as saying.
The United States is due to deliver the first of more than 100 F-35 jets to Turkey next month, but a bill making its way through U.S. Congress is aiming to block the sale of the jets.
Çavuşoğlu has previously stressed that Turkey would not be deterred by sanctions.
Çavuşoğlu also said Turkey's ambassador to Washington, who was recalled for consultations following the attacks by Israeli forces against Palestinian protesters in Gaza this month, would return to his post in Washington, NTV said.
Or may be the ChiComs?
How long do F16's fly without support?
With friends like Turkey, we don’t need enemies.
“Turkey says will go”
LOL
Turkey is part of NATO, yet they want to go to Russia for their aircraft?
If we do sell them planes, I hope they install a kill switch.
LMAO is spot on.
This muzzie clown Erdogan and his military advisors are dumber than a box of rocks, but we already knew that.
I suppose Turkey could wait until The Ugly Fat cow is elected as the first Female (?) president, and she sells the F-35 to China, and then he can buy their copies of it from them!

“How long do F16’s fly without support?”

This would not be the first time the Turks got stiffed on a weapons deal.

In the case of both weapons systems, it’s highly probable they would have been used against their makers sooner or later.
Well buh-bye.
Why is the gubermint sell the newest aircraft to a questionable nation?.....Some things I just do not understand.
Selling anything of strategic importance to Turkey is like giving the technology to Russia, Iran, Syria, China, et. al.
Turkey could leave and go to Mars.
We don’t need Turkey.
The NORKs will have their air force up for auction soon.
Have we gotten our nukes, planes and troops out of there yet?
The nukes are out. Last report I heard very few planes. That was 2 months ago.
