Türkiye· AnkaraUS F-35 transfer to Turkey remains prohibited due to S-400 dispute
US Senator Marco Rubio stated that the transfer of F-35 fighter jets to Turkey is currently prohibited due to the unresolved dispute over Turkey's acquisition of Russian S-400 air defense systems.
Background
The United States previously removed Turkey from the F-35 fighter jet program after Turkey acquired Russian S-400 air defense systems. This decision was based on concerns that the S-400s could compromise the F-35's sensitive technology and intelligence. The dispute continues to impact defense relations between the two NATO allies.
