The replacement engines were already arranged from Poland and France. USA is not halting. The risk of India lobbying via Senator Rand Paul was already calculated.

All the countries lobbie for one reason or another...But India doesn’t that much lobbying, with her strong economy and a nuclear power for boost!

This topic is not for this thread. Indian is doing extensive lobbying in USA the firm's they use and the senators and congressmen they handle are well known to us after all we are enemies. Indian economy is 7th with vast majority of population in poverty so it is not that much of a market for USA. It is still a developing country. Plus India gets most of it leads in USA via Israel. Now back to topic Rand Paul is a very vocal senator against Pakistan and he had tried to stop many weapons sales to Pakistan in past as well we know that. It is not a secret for us.

WTF you are babbling here about Russian fakemedia? RT just translated the article from your Turkish media http://www.hurriyet.com.tr/gundem/1-5-milyar-dolarlik-satis-icin-ataka-motor-seferberligi-41035869

Sober up and tell us a story about Turkish fakemedia instead.

The Hurriyet article only speaks of tensions between Pak-US hindering/delaying the export licence for the LHTEC engine and that Turkey is supposedly considering French & Polish alternatives for which the Pakis would demand retesting.
The RT article focuses on US retaliation re Turkey's purchase of S400 and refers to the Hurriyet article further down as another problem. RT did not "just translate" from the Turkish media.

hey, can you translate this tweet into English? What is the use of posting the tweet if the vast majority of the audience cannot read it?

Summary: the folk has talked to the other folks in the industry he knows. No delay rather production is quickened!!!

That 's what turks do they get discounts on empty threats , "we're gonna buy Russian Ss-400 ! no wait 500! " now you have to sell us your thaad patriot with a discount , and oh don't forget about Iran !

it's like going to a nightclub in istanbull .

Russians didn’t fall from a turnip truck to give their best technology to a NATO overzealed member! Beside that the US will never allow Turkey to go to Russia for her air defense...Just have a look at the Sultan being left holding the bag after he agreed to to have Kashuggly murdered in his country .

Kashogi was murdered inside the Saudi embassy. The Turkish government couldn't just go into another country's diplomatic office and micromanage what takes place there. That would be a break of diplomatic norms.

Just to give you an example, Julian Assange, the Wikileaks founder, is in the Ecuadorian embassy in London even though he's wanted in both US and UK. Yet, the British authority can't just go into that embassy and grab him. So the charge that President Erdogan allowed this killing to take place in his country is not correct.

Back to the topic, 30 helicopters that each costs $50 million USD = $1.5 billion IUSD. That is a lot of money. These helis must be highly specialized ones that each one of them worth that kind of money.

Why does the USA love to piss off the entire world.

 

[VarryLickers]

I think you know why, its obvious. Were naive to jews and masons and weve been raised to be blood thirsty, and were pretty spiteful. I dont think some of us understand the phrase counter productive either. And most of us dont care or want to be bothered with any type of reality. Pissing off the rest of the world is fine, nobody cares about anyones feelings, but doing acts that cause legitimate reactions of revenge, thats where i draw the line.
