US decided how to revenge Turkey for the purchase of C-400

2
The United States has decided how to take revenge on Turkey for the purchase of S-400 systems from Russia. Since Washington was never able to get the deal out of the Turkish leadership, the US Department of Defense decided to take a different path.





As it became known, the United States will refuse to accept Turkish pilots for training in the management of F-35 fighter-bombers. Also, Americans will not prepare technical personnel to service these aircraft.

Meanwhile, the ban is introduced only for new pilots and technicians. All Turkish soldiers who are already undergoing training will have the opportunity to complete it safely. Currently, four Turkish Air Force pilots are trained in the United States, and two more Turkish pilots work as flight instructors. In addition, twenty people from the technical personnel of Turkish military aviation are being trained in the United States.

Recall that on May 21, the United States put forward an ultimatum to Turkey, demanding within two weeks to decide on the refusal to acquire the S-400. And now they were forced to respond to policies Ankara, because the Turks did not break the deal that the Americans hated.

Turkish President Recep Erdogan and other senior officials of the country, however, have repeatedly stated that the issue of acquiring the S-400 from Russia has been resolved and the Turkish army is not going to abandon the systems.

In the USA, such behavior of one of the closest NATO allies was naturally considered as a demonstration of their independence in making strategic decisions. And the Americans really do not like it.

    And what does friendship with Turkey give us? Turkey did not pay or compensate for the killing of the pilot and two downed planes. In general, it only craps us. In addition to tomatoes and resorts, it is of no use to her, but she is from this in a big gain. I began to search on the Internet, specifically to get this information there. On other sites you need to log in to get the info. There are no explanations from the government or the military either. I forgot about the nuclear power plant, which is being built for our credit, and the S-400 also on credit. So what's the use?

      Dear, Steelworker. The benefits are huge:
      1. The Turkish army in NATO in terms of combat readiness in second place after the US Army.
      2. The US uses the Incirlik Turkish military base, which is very close to Russia.
      3. Loans are tied to the lender, and the gas pipe to gas. It’s hard to refuse, because consumers (enterprises) are sharpened under gas and they will not switch to coal, just look at Germany and its relation to the Nord Stream.
      This is not all: S-400 - spare parts and maintenance, nuclear power plants - construction, maintenance, purchase of fuel elements, staff training, etc. And this is money.
      The main thing, in my humble opinion, is the discord between NATO allies, is it not worth it.
