The United States announce that Turkey will not participate on F-35 fighter jet program.
In a move that had been long threatened and expected, US remove Turkey from the F-35 fighter jet program, after Ankara began accepting delivery of an advanced Russian missile defense system last week.
“The U.S. and other F-35 partners are aligned in this decision to suspend Turkey from the program and initiate the process to formally remove Turkey from the program,” said Ellen Lord, the under secretary of defense for acquisition and sustainment.
