Turkey to receive two F-35 jets in spring - media

Two more Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter jets will be delivered to Turkey from the United States in March next year, Turkish Defence Minister Hulusi Akar said.

Akar said the F-35 programme was continuing as planned, with the third and fourth jets to be delivered in March 2019. "There were some issues stemming from the S-400s, political and judicial developments, but the political and military conditions we have now do not cause concerns," Anadolu cited Akar as saying.

Earlier, United States has warned that purchase of F-35 jets could be jeopardised if Turkey does not drop the S-400 purchase plan.
