“The interest was genuine, but the Turks should choose. They chose the S-400 and defended their right to purchase this system. Perhaps they will make a choice in the direction of our military aviation, it cannot be ruled out, ”Interfax quotes him.
According to Borisov, the choice of Turkey in favor of the Su-35 is due to the high technical characteristics of the fighter.
“The Su-35 has proven itself in Syria. This is one of the best generation 4+ aircraft, ”he said.
At the end of September, Turkey promised to study Russia's proposal for the supply of the latest fighters.
At the same time, Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan allowed the purchase of Russian Su-35 and Su-57.
A military expert, flight instructor Andrei Krasnoperov, in an interview with the FAN, emphasized that Russian 4 ++ generation fighters significantly outperform their American counterparts.
