They only signed in 2020. Turkey is trying to develop their own 5th generation fighter after getting kicked out of the f35 program due to being a leaky sieve sending data to the Russians. That's on them. By and large, the wait elsewhere is mostly to do with the bad reputation the program got before it was operational. Now that it's all in the past and it's proving to be an excellent fighter, contracts with allies are coming in faster than they can be produced. That's the price of waiting. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] melpomenesclevage@lemm.ee -1 points 2 years ago both kind of the point anf completely missing the point; there are NATO countries, including those on the border of an ongoing war they expect to join pretty soon, who dont have them. why the fuck are the kapostanis getting them? so they can start world war 3 better? permalink fedilink source parent
