1 - F35 is the future of USAF. All current 4.5th gen planes will be replaced in near future.
- You do realize that the USAF has a ton of other military assets besides the F-22 and F-35, right? In fact, if you were to remove ALL the F-22s and F-35s today, USAF would still remain the world's most powerful Air Corce by a long margin. They're not relying on the F-35 at all. At least not yet or in the near future.
- Also, it wasn't a simple choice between F-35 and S-400 for Turkey. Turkey HAD TO go with the S-400 due to continued US hostility towards Turkish interests.
2-Seriously? S-400 was that necessary to procure? against whom do you think this S400 will be usable, Greece and Cyprus? are they that much of a Threat to TAF. USA will never invade Turkey. And if it does no one can do anything about it. Only Serious threat to Turkey is Russia in my Opinion. Can you use Russian S400 against RAF?
Turkey should have participated in MEADS or similar NATO led program. If i am not wrong, THAAD is already deployed in Turkey.
