In short, these two big ticket weapons systems, the S-400 and the F-35, can be used against each other.
WASHINGTON — The United States should not follow through with a multi-billion dollar weapons sale of F-35 jets to Turkey, if Ankara takes delivery of an advanced Russian missile system, the top U.S. military commander for Europe told Congress on Tuesday.
"I would hope that they [Turkey] would reconsider this one decision on the S-400," Scaparrotti said, adding that there could be potential consequences, namely, no future foreign military sales between Washington and Ankara. In September, CNBC learned that Turkey began construction of a site for the Russian missile system despite warnings from the United States to not buy the platform, according to a source with firsthand knowledge of an intelligence report.
Meanwhile, the State Department has discussed opportunities for Ankara to buy U.S.-made missile defense system. In December, State approved a $3.5 billion sale to Turkey in December for Raytheon's Patriot system.
