    Default Turkey says to produce S-500s with Russia after S-400 missile deal

    Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Saturday said Turkey and Russia would jointly produce S-500 defence systems after Ankara's controversial purchase of the S-400 missile defence system from Moscow.

    Turkey's push to buy the S-400s has further strained already tense relations with the United States which has repeatedly warned Ankara of the risks including sanctions as a result of the purchase.

    "There is absolutely no question of (Turkey) taking a step back from the S-400s purchase. That is a done deal," Erdogan said in Istanbul.

    "There will be joint production of the S-500 after the S-400," Erdogan told an audience of young people asking questions.

    Ties between NATO allies Turkey and the US have frayed over multiple issues including American support for a Syrian Kurdish militia viewed as terrorists by Ankara and the US failure to extradite a Muslim preacher blamed for the 2016 coup attempt against Erdogan.

    Washington says the deal with Moscow is a threat to Western defence and in April suspended deliveries of the F-35 stealth fighter jet to Turkey in a bid to halt the purchase.

    Turkish pilots are in the US receiving training on the F-35s, manufactured by Lockheed Martin. Turkey is expected to buy 100 of the jets in total.

    Erdogan said Turkey conducted technical studies amid US concerns over the compatibility of the S-400s and the F-35s but found there were no issues.

    He also insisted "sooner or later" Turkey would receive the F-35 jets.

    Despite the threat of sanctions, Erdogan repeated that the S-400s were expected to be delivered in July, "but this could be brought forward", he added.

    What do you think trumps response should be??
    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    let Turkey be Turkey,
    We can not sell the F-35 for theses security reasons ( which may or may not be true)
    or just sell them and we need the money to help pay down the program

    Turkey is in NATO,but it's obviously not a friend of ours (it just sold a bunch of MWRAPS to the Tripoli government of Libya,and now we back the Bengazi faction) -but just as obviously strategic importance to stay in NATO

    I personally am in favor of ANYTHING that helps Russia keep a foot in the west-
    with the exception of troops like in Venezuela

    The CHAMP missile can fry the electronics of S-400 and S-500 weapon systems.

    Mary Lou Robinson of the Air Force Research Laboratory explains the CHAMP missile. She confirmed to DailyMail.com that the missiles are now operational

    Haw, haw, haw, haw...........haw.

    Mary-Lou Robinson and maggot's Daily Mail say that the world's missile defense systems are redundant.
    OK, Mary-Lou, your check's in the post.
