Key Points
-There are increased signs that Turkey will not scrap its Russian S-400 deal despite the US threat of sanctions
-If Ankara continues with the deal the F-35s it had on order could be stopped and the country could also be subject to Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA) sanctions

There are increasing signs that Turkey will ultimately stick to accepting the Russian S-400 surface-to-air missiles (SAMs) it has ordered at the expense of not acquiring the 100 US-designed F-35 Joint Strike Fighters (JSFs) it has signed up for, informed Western defence sources have told Jane’s .

US news channel CNBC, quoting multiple people familiar with the matter, reported on 21 May that Turkey has a little more than two weeks to decide whether to complete a complex arms deal to buy the US Patriot air defence system or risk severe penalties by proceeding with an agreement to buy the rival Russian system.

In defiance of US warnings, however, Turkish Defence Minister Hulusi Akar told local media on 21 May that Turkey is preparing for all scenarios, including possible US sanctions, over its Russian S-400 deal.

“We need to set up an air defence system to protect our 82 million people and our country,” Akar said, stressing that Turkey was under threat of air and missile attacks from its border with Syria.

He added that the United States was still trying to dissuade Turkey from purchasing the Russian SAMs but that Ankara was determined to go through with the deal.

“We tell them it's a ‘done deal’ but they keep telling us ‘No deal is a done deal’,” he noted.

“Turkey is also making preparations for the potential implementation of CAATSA sanctions,” he said, falling short of detailing preparations to this end.

Anyone know what year was this?

The last candidate is the Dassault Rafale, EF Typhoon, Advance Superhornet and Gripen (Sale and Leased)

by 2015 there is talks on economic offsets between Dassault and BAe

but then all news gone krik.. krik...

Might as well go full korean or turkey.

Actually no, at that time the RMAF and even administration prefer the Rafale due to how it has carry itself during the Campaign against Gaddafi

but,

Typhoon is way stronger candidate due to its offset offered to the government in terms of economic, education and industry and Dassault at that time struggle to go against the offset offered by BAe.

at some point in 2015 they were only 2 horse race where gripen already backoff and offered stop-gap leasing only to RMAF.

Well IIRC they did deep surgical strike esp in SEAD/DEAD operation where even the Murica does not dare to enter
when they know how was better Libya Air Defense is.

the F22 Raptor that was suppose to join in the Libyan  Campaign suddenly unable to make it  (Yes even the Brits told me this kekeke)

With only a 100-odd F-22 Raptors and the possibility of all the secrets being lost if one gets shot down, it's not surprising that the US may decide the reward is not worth the risk

Typhoon is ahead of Rafale in some ways; built as a true MRCA whereas Rafale is more like a modded fighter

Typhoon have support of quite a few EU countries and Qatar too

Also has some inherent low observability features whereas Rafale only plans to upgrade them later
