The Russian Su-35 was too bad for Turkey.

The head of the Turkish Defense Industry Directorate, Ismail Demir, speaking about the situation regarding the purchase of Russian weapons, said that Su-35 fighters, which have not been sold to Ankara so far, turned out to be too bad for the Turkish Air Force, and therefore, about them buying can not be discussed.

“Demir said that the F-35 and Su-35 planes have no similarities, except for the number“ 35 ”, and stressed:“ These are not interchangeable planes. To say that we are buying something is wrong. The other side wanted to make a proposal, we are also considering this proposal. There are new options on the table, but which of these options is better - we cannot say. Information about the purchase of the Su-35 misleads public opinion ", - cites the publication "Anadolu»

Noteworthy is the fact that Turkey does not comment at all purchase of Russian Su-57 fighters, although initially this combat aircraft was positioned as equal, if not superior, to the American F-35 fighters, however, obviously, this option also did not suit Turkey, since Ankara does not even talk about acquiring fifth-generation Russian fighters.
