The US may deny Turkey F-35 sales — and now it may turn to Russia in a nightmare for NATO
The US Senate passed a defense spending bill recently that sought to prevent Turkey from getting the 100 F-35 stealth jets it ordered — and now Turkey could become the first buyer of Russia's Su-57 "stealth" jet killer if the bill becomes law.
But on the military side, Turkey, a NATO ally, poses another threat by buying Russia's S-400 missile defense system.
Retired US Air Force Lt. Gen. David Deptula told Business Insider that NATO countries "don't want to be networking in Russian systems into your air defenses" as it could lead to "technology transfer and possible compromises of F-35 advantages to the S-400."
