Maybe letting Turkey get F35s would damage their capabilities more than sending them after more reliable Russian planes? They can get a lot more planes and keep them flying at less than the ruinous cost of F35s.

Settling for the Russian jets is like settling for a Hyundai when the Ferrari falls through

We need to kick Turkey out of NATO and remove our military hardware from their country. Having Turkey in NATO is like having a fire bug on the fire commission. Besides, in the scheme of things today, I don’t think Turkey is an asset we need to protect our interests. And as far as Europe is concerned, I’d vote to let all those worthless fair weather friends shift for themselves, and save the money we spend protecting their a$$es. Let them all rally round Frau Merkel and the Krauts and see how things turn out.

A defiant Turkey said it was considering “alternatives” to US fighter jets, including Russian models or making its own

"Making its own"...yeah, right. Ataturk was one of the true visionaries of the 20th century, dragging a Muslim nation out of the dark ages into secularism and modernism. Erdogan is the anti-Ataturk, returning Turkey to Muslim squalor.

Rooskie anti air missiles. Rooskie air craft. That should rule them out of NATO, I’d think.

Sure, they are going to manufacture their own.

Their GDP is less than $1 trillion.

The Lira has lost 40% of it’s worth, etc, etc etc.

They also do not posess the manufacturing capabilities nor the technologies to produce anything worthwhile .

They can’t

The entire known world including Greenland, Ecuador, Burundi, the Seychelles and even Togo would LOVE to face a Turkish built fighter.

Hell, let Turkey get the S-400. Then we’ll get the radar and take it apart.

Thanks, Russia!!

Turkey is not our friend and should not be in NATO.

I wouldn't sell Turkey anything more advanced than a Gooney Bird with a rusty .22 rifle to aim out of the co-pilot's sliding window.

Same for the Saudis. No muzz slimes can be trusted. Ever.
