ANKARA: President Tayyip Erdogan said on Tuesday that an F-35 fighter jet project would collapse if Turkey did not participate, and that it would be an injustice to exclude Ankara over its plan to buy the Russian S-400 air defence system.
Ankara has proposed a working group with the United States to assess the impact of the S-400s, but says it has not received a response from U.S. officials. "We were surely not going to remain silent against our right to self-defence being disregarded and attempts to hit us where it hurts," Erdogan said."This is the kind of process that is behind the S-400 agreement we reached with Russia.""Nowadays, we are being subject to a similar injustice - or rather an imposition - on the F-35s ...
U.S. sources have dismissed Turkey's arguments that it would be impractical to exclude it from F-35 production, and said the trillion-dollar programme can proceed without Turkish components.
