The US on Friday gave Turkey until the end of next month to break an agreement with Russia to purchase an S-400 missile defense system, which Washington considers incompatible with Ankara’s involvement in the F-35 fighter jet program.
If by July 31 Turkey does not abandon its S-400 acquisition plans, Turkish pilots currently training in the US on the F-35 will be expelled, and agreements with Turkish firms sub-contracted for manufacturing the F-35 stealth warplane will be cancelled, Ellen Lord, the under secretary of defense for acquisition and sustainment, told reporters.
Lord said the deadline “will allow sufficient time for Turkish personnel associated with the F-35 program to be reassigned and depart the United States… to facilitate an orderly cessation of Turkish participation.”
She justified the US ultimatum by the fact that Turkey, a NATO ally of the United States, had already sent its personnel to Russia to start training with the S-400.
On Tuesday Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said his country was “determined” to proceed with the Russia deal.
US officials have said they expected Turkey to opt for the American Patriot system instead, arguing that would allow the F-35 program to continue.
Turkey plans to buy 100 US F-35s.
Erdogan said he told the US that Ankara would buy Patriots only if Washington’s conditions of delivery were as positive as Moscow’s.
“But unfortunately we haven’t received a positive proposal from the American side on the subject of Patriots like the S-400s from Russia,” he said.

Hi there! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site? I’m getting sick and tired of Wordpress because I’ve had issues with hackers and I’m looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

Yesterday, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iPad and tested to see if it can survive a 40 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is entirely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
I like this web blog its a master peace ! Glad I observed this on google .
In this awesome design of things you’ll receive a B+ for effort. Where exactly you actually misplaced everybody was on the specifics. You know, as the maxim goes, details make or break the argument.. And it could not be more true here. Having said that, allow me say to you what exactly did do the job. Your authoring is actually very engaging and this is possibly the reason why I am taking an effort to opine. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. Second, although I can notice the leaps in reasoning you come up with, I am not really convinced of how you seem to connect the details which inturn make the final result. For right now I shall subscribe to your position however trust in the future you link the dots much better.
