U.S. blocks F110 engine exports to Turkey, halting its fifth-gen fighter program over S-400 tensions.
The U.S. has blocked the export of F110 engines to Turkey, halting progress on its KAAN fifth-generation stealth fighter program, citing ongoing tensions over Turkey’s purchase of Russia’s S-400 missile system.
The move, driven by U.S. Congress, undermines Turkey’s bid to join an elite group of nations with fifth-gen fighters and has prompted Ankara to explore alternatives, including acquiring U.S. F110 engines or China’s WS-15 engines, though the latter could strain NATO ties.
Meanwhile, a potential $6 billion F-16 deal is under reconsideration due to Turkey’s support for Ukraine and its strategic balancing act between NATO and BRICS nations.
Congressional approval remains uncertain, contingent on Turkey’s continued cooperation with NATO and commitment to shared security goals.
