Turkey will lose F-35 warplane if Russia defense system deal goes ahead, U.S. says
BRUSSELS - The United States will stop Turkish forces flying and developing its F-35 stealth jets if Ankara goes ahead with the purchase of a Russian air defence system, the U.S. envoy to NATO said on Tuesday.
"We will hopefully start to receive the S-400 systems we purchased from Russia next month," Erdogan told members of his AK Party in parliament."Turkey is not a country that needs to seek permission or bow to pressures. The S-400s are directly linked to our sovereignty and we will not take a step back."
"There will be a disassociation with the F-35 system, we cannot have the F-35 affected or destabilised by having this Russian system in the alliance," she told reporters. Germany and the United States stationed Patriot surface-to-air missile batteries in Turkey on a temporary basis in 2013 but moved them out in 2015, citing demands on assets elsewhere.
