Turkey getting F-35s? They better be detuned, bugged and have kill switches!

Turkey will take its first delivery of U.S.-made F-35 warplanes on June 21, according to defense sources.

Two fighter pilots from the Turkish Air Forces are getting special training in the U.S., where the delivery of the first plane to Turkey is planned to be done with a ceremony, said the sources, who asked not to be named due to restrictions on speaking to the media.

After the training is completed, and another warplane is delivered, the F-35 jets are planned to be brought to Turkey in September of 2019. The trained pilots will fly the two F-35s from the U.S., accompanied by a refueling plane.

The Turkish people are not a problem.  They're cool.  The Turk govt?  Huge problem.  They're batshit crazy.

I had hoped that commonsense would prevail and that this sale wouldn't go thru.  They defied NATO and bought S-400's and now we're selling them the F-35?

We have greedy leadership...both civilian and military...and the thought that they could openly defy us only serves to make us weaker.

Sometimes you have to look crazy in the eye and punch it in the face.

Having said that, if they do decide to sell these planes to Turkey I hope they're detuned, bugged and have hidden kill switches so they stop flying midair if they're headed to ATTEMPT to inflict damage to either US or REAL allies.

Side note.  Turk readers!  Bring it!  I know this post will piss you off but I don't care.  Your govt has brought this pain to you ... I'm just reacting logically to the idiocy.  This sale makes no sense!
