“Is it a Su-57? .. And is it already flying?” Erdogan asked Putin.
Putin answered in the affirmative.
“Can you buy it?” The Turkish president added.
“You can buy,” Putin answered after a short pause.
Erdogan, after a failure with the American F-35s, was vividly interested in the Russian Su-57 at MAKS: “Already flies?”, “Already you can buy?
“Flies,” “You can buy,” Putin answered with a smile.
We don’t know how to use the equipment yet, but Erdogan definitely liked the nuts on the MAX. And not him alone. pic.twitter.com/KhpTedVp24
Earlier, Putin and Erdogan examined the Su-57 during a visit to the MAKS-2019 air show.
At the end of July, it became known that the Su-57 was put into serial production, and a long-term contract was signed with the Ministry of Defense for the supply of more than 70 aircraft.
In August, the media, citing a source, wrote that the Turkish authorities ordered to evaluate Russia's proposal for the supply of Su-35 fighters.
