Turkey considers Russian Su-57 or Chinese J-31 jets to replace F-35s

my bro, they are certified or not but they done job well its a potential fighter plz don't waste it hoop China,Pakistan & possibly Turkey find any solution of this If China allow...

If you have a look at CAC, from JF-17, J-10ABC to J-20 step by step, but SAC began with a stealth fighter, the learning curve is too steep. It's said that CAC is also developing a light stealth fighter.

Turkey should get into a joint venture with Chinese on the j31. Apply the know how they picked from the F35 program and tailor it to their specs. Kind of what We did with the JF and are doing with the J31. It’s a great platgorm and will evolve into a highly potent 5th gen fighter.

This is a sensible opinion, I dont think Turkey is in any kind of rush to procure more fighter jet. Better use the money to improve Turkish own defense industries.

What happened to Indonesian Su-35s, CAATSA threat continue?

What happened to Indonesian Su-35s, CAATSA threat continue?

According to Russian official it is CAATSA who become the hurdle (he asked Indonesian Armed force official recently). But according to me it is mainly due to pressure on Rupiah we get from the last 2 years that make any procurement on US dollar get delayed. For your information, Indonesia also delay KFX/IFX payment and most procurement of Armed Forced in Jokowi first term administration are from Indonesian defense industry.

Despite so I believe in the end Indonesia will still buy SU 35 because we need long range and heavy fighter to cover our vast territory on land and sea. I think we are waiting American to relax CAATSA on us and also our currency to get stronger (fixing trade deficit). We also have new defense minister so we need to wait what will be Indonesia decision on SU 35 acquisition but our Air Force Chief of staff has made official statement saying that he is still in favor of SU 35 (And he also said he wants to have 2 new squadron of F 16 Block 70).
