Turkish president says Tuesday that the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter jet program will collapse without Turkey
An F-35 fighter jet is seen as Turkey takes delivery of its first F-35 fighter jet with a ceremony in Forth Worth, Texas, USA on June 21, 2018. Two such planes destined for Turkey are yet to leave American soil.Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has claimed that the U.S. F-35 fighter jet project will collapse without his country's input.
NATO member Turkey is currently due to receive two of the jets later this year and has more than 100 on order. The country also provides a small number of components that form part of the plane's manufacture. Aviation analyst Justin Bronk of the Royal United Services Institute in London told CNBC Tuesday that Erdogan's claims were an exaggeration and that the U.S. will not allow the program to fail.
"Particularly that spares are already an issue and are hitting readiness rates and impacting costs for the U.S. air force, then needing to find additional capacity for certain components is an issue," he said by phone.
Pft
Erdogan has made his choice, he has failed acquiring the F-35 while cuddling his S-400 missile system; his F-16 are sufficient
Turkey sure does think a lot of themselves 😂
Ha!ha!ha!
I mean it will fail if other countries don’t buy them, that is true.
