US Congressmen recently sent to the Pentagon document, in which the US military warns against transfer of the latest Turkish combat aircraft. When this argument was as follows:: due to unfriendly to the US policy of official Ankara, and the potential for technology transfer F-35 of the Russian Federation.
However, the Pentagon decided to ignore the opinion of Congress, which led those present in a rage. We are talking even about the urgent need to change the leadership of the US Department of Defense.
It should be noted, that Turkish pilots arrived in Fort Worth for consultations with their American counterparts on the F-35 piloting. It is not mentioned in the US media, that the F-35 will be sent to Turkey, "a few days".
