Turkey’s decision to further develop its new Russian S-400 air defense system with test firings against British-made Banshee drones drew a sharp response from the U.S. and other NATO allies.
The U.S. Air Force launched a continuous wave of 52 F-35 Joint Strike Fighters in a massive combat power exercise at Hill Air Force Base.
Turkey on Tuesday confirmed it would not withdraw from a deal with Russia to buy S-400 missile defense systems despite pressure from the United States to reconsider.
Turkey is prepared to look “elsewhere” if the U.S. doesn’t deliver the F-35 fighter jets it ordered, the country’s foreign minister announced Tuesday.
The United States suspended the delivery of F-35 warplane-related equipment to fellow NATO member Turkey until Ankara abandons its scheduled purchase of the Russian S-400 missile system, the Pentagon revealed this week.
According to a Russian state media report related by Turkey’s Hurriyet Daily News, the United States is planning to send next-generation B61 nuclear gravity bombs to NATO bases in several European countries, including Turkey. The bomb is said to be compatible with F-35 joint strike fighters, which Turkey is also due to receive amid some controversy.
The first two F-35 Joint Strike Fighters for Turkey will emerge from Lockheed Martin headquarters in a ceremony on Thursday despite congressional action to block delivery of the advanced warplanes.
If the United States approves a proposed law that would halt weapons sales to Turkey, the nation will retaliate, Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said Sunday.
