The fact that Turkey would return to the F-35 program in exchange for placing S-400 missiles at the Incirlik base was brought to the agenda in the Greek media, causing the question “Is a trap being set for Turkey?” While it was stated that the allegations made in the Greek Kathimerini Newspaper were a perception operation, the statements of Michael Rubin, a member of the American Enterprise Institute and former Pentagon official, attracted attention. While the statements made by Rubin, who is known as the person who supported the July 15 treacherous coup attempt and FETO leader, to Kathimerini also raised questions in minds, important warnings were listed from two important names.
THERE IS FETO’S FINGER
Making a statement to Haberglobal.com.tr, Retired Air Major General Beyazıt Karataş stated that those who brought the S-400 and F-35 issues together and brought them to the agenda were pursuing a perception operation and said, “Michael Rubin had written similar scenarios before. If there is Rubin, it means there is FETO. Pro-American groups that want to put Turkey under pressure continue their perception operations through the media. “It is out of the question for Turkey to deliver the S-400s to Incirlik or sell them to another country.” he said.
VULNERABLE TO CYBER ATTACK
Stating that the warplane sanctions imposed on Turkey are not related to the S-400 air defense systems, Karataş said, “The F-35 is an economically very expensive aircraft with a low technical efficiency rate. The F-35 is a flying computer. When starting the flight, it is necessary to enter the system.” Username, password or password are used for each sortie. In other words, you have to wait for the password from the manufacturer every time you fly the F-35. There are many complaints from supplier countries. F-35s are also vulnerable to cyber operations and attacks. “The USA can intervene in F-35s whenever it wants, wherever it is.”
“WE SHOULD WAIT FOR KAAN”
“Our national aircraft projects continue against the obstacles posed by the USA and Turkey. However, we have a 15-year period ahead of us for a force of 300 aircraft, which will consist entirely of domestic and national aircraft. We plan to produce our own engines starting from 2032. The Air Force is a matter of survival. Until our domestic aircraft enter the inventory, 40-50 additional warplanes are needed. “Instead of being dependent on the USA, let’s develop our national and local combat aircraft.”
USA INfiltrates the SYSTEM
Prof. from Başkent University Department of International Relations. Dr. In his assessment of the allegations made, Hasan Ünal writes, “Kathimerini writes that we are very close to a compromise regarding TR’s return to the F-35 program in exchange for the S-400s being kept under US control in Incirlik. At a time when Israel is detonating its pagers, F35 Are we going to escort migratory birds with these planes? What are we doing since the first targets we will use these planes and S-400s are Greece and the Greeks? “Leave aside the possibility of Israel infiltrating the construction process and making the planes unusable at will, don’t these planes normally make us dependent on the USA?” he said.
Adding that only 29 percent of F-35s are fully flyable, Prof. Dr. Ünal said, “I hope we will not make such a mistake, while it causes serious debates in America, especially in the Congress, and countries such as the UK put a significant part of them in the scrapyard.”
