Turkish product is just like their Erdogan. Brag alot , saying how he will not give in to Trump pressure and will never release US pastor but chicken out when real pressure set in. Same as their military product. Lots of hot air but fail to deliver. Their engine is American. If Trump is not happy with Pakistan, kiss good bye to further support and whole helo will grounded due to lack of spare.
Chinese government has no idiot like Trump and military product is string free...
if nothing major happened between now until May 2019, we should see improvement in our relationship with Uncke Sam. Our major differences with them is about their Afghan policies. If they soften their tone, it might help bring all the parties on the negotiating table.
As far as Chinese equipment is concerned, it may not be technology advance and may not come with strings attached but it’s expensive as western equipment. Wonder why Pakistan did not go for J-10 back in. 2013? Chinese were asking 65 million for each plane.
Turkish deal is not in danger but might be delayed. Turkey either need to develop it’s own helicopter engine or work with European countries.
