US Ready to 'Welcome Back' Turkey into the F-35 Fighter Jet Family

The United States is prepared to "welcome back" Turkey into the fifth-generation fighter jet program, F-35, despite ongoing disagreements between the two countries regarding Turkey's purchase of the Russian-made S-400 air defense system.

I don't think Turkey will scrap their S-400 air defense system to get into F-35 program because they are going ahead with their KAAN project to fulfill their need for 5th generation aircraft.

No, it's the other way around. Siper project is much closer to fruition than Kaan is.

Kaan is a fighter of 2030ies. Siper is just around the corner.
