"fukk your F-35 program": Turkey Will Jointly Produce S-500s With Russia After Purchase Of S-400s

[intruder]

The U.S. is gonna be pissed and will reneg onselling them the F-35s as agreed to/contracted. This may play right into Russia's hands because Turkey will likely take this to court invest that money into Russia's SU-57 program just as India seems to be pondering rejoining Russia in that program.
I love military industrial complex politics

Will Jointly Produce S-500s With Russia After Purchase Of S-400s: Turkey

US officials have called Turkey's planned purchase of the [Russian] S-400 missile defense system "deeply problematic," saying it would risk Ankara's partnership in the [U.S.'s] joint strike fighter F-35 program because it would compromise the jets, made by Lockheed Martin Corp.

Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said on Saturday that the purchase of S-400 defence systems from Russia was a done deal, adding that Ankara would also jointly produce S-500 defence systems with Moscow.

However, Erdogan told a televised question and answer session with university students in Istanbul that Turkey had carried out technical work and found that such a problem did not exist.

"They (the US) are passing the ball around in the midfield now, showing some reluctance. But sooner or later, we will receive the F-35s. (The US) not delivering them is not an option."
