TuAF.

This is coolbert:

The Sultan in Angora continues to destroy his own air force? Enough damage previously done, but now this. 

From the Internet web site of the Gatestone Institute and the article by Burak Bekdil

Russian Su-57 to Turkey??

"How Erdoğan's Miscalculation Crippled Turkey's Aerial Firepower"

Stick it in the eye of NATO and the Americans. Buy top-of-the-line Russian stealth warplane rather than the USA F-35 Lightning.

Problems that will manifest themselves however will outweigh gain?

"Turkish Air Force generals know too well that switching from NATO-standard aircraft to Russian ones after 70 years is not like changing your American car in favor of a Japanese one. Building a new operational structure, modifying air bases, new repair, service and maintenance systems will be too costly, time consuming and technologically difficult."

PLUS THE TuAF NOT HAVING ENOUGH QUALIFIED AND SKILLED PILOTS TO FLY THE Su-57? THEY ALL HAVE BEEN PURGED?

See previous blog entries the topic the purging and "gutting" of the Turkish Air Force:
