Turkey does not meet legal requirements to receive F-35, State Department says - exclusive
The U.S. State Department has determined that Turkey does not satisfy the legal criteria required to receive F-35 fighter jets. A formal letter states that no F-35 aircraft can be transferred to Ankara until it fully complies with U.S. law. The decision reflects ongoing restrictions linked to U.S. sanctions and export controls.
- ▪The State Department issued a letter indicating Turkey fails to meet the legal requirements for F-35 transfers.
- ▪U.S. law prohibits the delivery of any F-35 aircraft to Turkey until full compliance is achieved.
- ▪The restriction is part of broader U.S. sanctions and export control measures affecting Turkish defense procurement.
