No.f35 will be doomed then
I just fail to understand why Turkey is jeopardizing its F-35 deal for a system (i.e. S-400) which utterly failed to impress in Syria
Outdated or not, any capable SAM can pull much higher G's than any aircraft in existence and/or score in the right set of circumstances. However, Israeli Air Force have carried out so many strikes in Syria over the course of years that highlighting this single incident is almost irrelevant. Even Russian-supplied S-300 battery is not making much difference which can be in part due to lack of operational readiness but Israeli sources insist that they are fully equipped to handle it when the time comes.even Syrian outdated S-200 destroyed Israeli F-16
I am learned enough to disregard this assertion in its entirety. It is in the best interest of American deep state to hype Russian hardware in public because Russian boogeyman is a convenient excuse to fuel its military industrial complex. Russian arms are good on average but US is able to do much better in this domain in comparison, and some American sources have subtly hinted the vast gap in the conventional military might of both countries but these hints do not necessarily generate headlines.Russians never used S-400 in Syria and even American Generals said that the power and the range and the lethality of these Russian air defense systems , it's going to make all forms of air support much more difficult
You can certainly learn a great deal from this system (technical knowhow) but I simply wonder why Russia would sell a supposedly very capable defense system to a member of NATO bloc and undermine its own security considerations in the process. Trust me! This is all about making big bucks and hype factor is good if it can attract customers.S400 can turn enemy Fighter Jets , Bombers and AWACS to burned bird
and Turkish KORKUT 35mm SPAAG , HISAR-A and HISAR-O air defense systems will protect S400 from cruise missiles
and our S400 will use Turkish Radar software and IFF system
When US forces struck Shayrat airbase in 2017, some Tomahawk cruise missiles bypassed Russian S-400 system from mere 35 KMs in distance and they did not register on its radar (at all) even though the system was active at the time. If Russian operators were to notice them

Propaganda.Russian marketing is mostly BS.
That sounds like an empire, an ability to change course of historical events. It is already taking shape.and in the future, Turkey will finally manage to be in a situation to arm her closer allies (Azerbaijan, Pakistan etc) with systems like these without the US and Europe being able to bitch about it.
To think the entire F-35 program will collapse just because of Turkey would be foolish. We would be happy to replace you in manufacturing parts for the F-35. The US, NATO and their allies are not in a hurry. Even without 5th generation aircraft, their airforces are far stronger than anything you could throw at them.o, the TLDR version is this : If you try and withhold Turkish F-35's from Turkey, the whole program collapses. Yes, the F-35 still flies and the US and UK along with Japan and Israel will continue using them - but the dream of having a one purpose tool that can span the world and be refueled and refitted as needed along the way is crushed. That was the whole reason this plane was created to be so versatile in the first place. This is why it went under SO many re-designs and revisions - it needed to be ambiguous enough to fly everywhere with everyone. To lose this is to lose it all for NATO and the US.
Also the F-35 was never meant to be a profitable program.
I said the F-35 wasn't meant to be a profitable program.Not as profitable as Su-57.
