It is noted that earlier the United States sent an official notice to Turkey about the country's exclusion from the fighter supply program due to Ankara's acquisition of Russian S-400 air defense systems.

Washington also announced the cancellation of the memorandum on the F-35.

“We don't care if they don't give us F-35s or react to the defense systems we buy.

We are capable of producing any product that is denied to us, ”RIA Novosti quotes Erdogan with a link to the Haberler portal.

Earlier, the Turkish leader noted that the United States offered Ankara to purchase F-16 fighters after it was excluded from the F-35 fighter production program.
