Re: At least eight Lot 14 Turkish F-35A to go the the USAF
What I'm curious about: did Turkey ever get any financial compensation for the development cost of the F-35 after they were kicked out of the program? After all they contributed roughly US$ 1.4 billion since the project was launched somewhere in 1999...
