The acquisition was a point of contention between Turkey and NATO during the Trump administration, and that sentiment has carried over to the new administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn the future, nobody will be able to interfere in terms of what kind of defense systems we acquire, from which country at what level. Nobody can interfere with that. We are the only ones to make such decisions,\u201d Erdogan said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Turkey was kicked out of the U.S.-led, multinational consortium that builds the F-35 Lightening II. Washington also placed sanctions on Ankara in December 2020 via the Countering America\u2019s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act. The move was the first time the law was used to penalize a U.S. ally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., pointed out that sanctions were mandated by law for \u201cany entity that does significant business with the Russian military or intelligence sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAny new purchases by Turkey must mean new sanctions,\u201d Menendez said on Twitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Turkey remains defiant. On Sept. 26, Erdogan said his country would consider buying a second batch of S-400 systems from Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNegotiations [for the second batch] are progressing,\u201d a senior procurement official told Defense News. \u201cThe level [of talks] is strategic and political at the moment. We have not yet reached technicalities, financing and pricing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The official added that the engine for Turkey\u2019s future fighter, dubbed TF-X, would be the priority when it comes to technological cooperation. The next level of talks will be \u201cexploratory,\u201d the official said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Erdogan went to Sochi, Russia, on Sept. 29 for a summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin. \u201cWe had the opportunity to discuss comprehensively what steps to take in the production of plane engines, what steps to take regarding fighter jets,\u201d Erdogan said of the meeting, adding that other measures could include building ships and submarines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the flight back, he told reporters that Turkey intends to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/2021\/09\/30\/turkey-wants-compensation-for-ouster-from-us-led-jet-program\/\" target=\"_blank\">seek compensation<\/a> for its removal from the F-35 program, possibly during a meeting with U.S. President Joe Biden on the margins of a Group of 20 meeting in October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe made a $1.4 billion payment. What will become of that?\u201d Erdogan said. \u201cWe did not \u2014 and do not \u2014 earn this money easily. Either they will give us our planes or they will give us the money.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Turkey is running a program to co-produce, under German license, six submarines. But Erdogan said the program was not progressing at a desired pace. \u201cWe may have to look at alternatives,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The procurement official told Defense News that \u201cRussia can be the know-how source to meet our need for engine technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAnd not only that; we may soon start talks to acquire Russian fighters as a stopgap solution before our indigenous fighter program matures,\u201d the official added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Turkey has been thriving to design, develop and build its homemade fighter, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/industry\/techwatch\/2021\/05\/03\/with-f-35-expulsion-turkeys-top-weapons-buyer-prioritizes-tf-x-work\/\" target=\"_blank\">the TF-X<\/a>, for the past several years. The program has been crawling despite initial predesign help from Britain\u2019s BAE Systems under a $115 million contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Turkish Aerospace Industries, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/industry\/techwatch\/2021\/03\/16\/heres-how-much-one-future-tf-x-fighter-jet-will-cost-turkey\/\" target=\"_blank\">prime contractor for the TF-X effort<\/a>, has not yet selected an engine that will power the future jet. TAI hopes to fly the TF-X in 2025 or 2026, but industry sources say that target is too optimistic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>Suzan Frazer with The Associated Press contributed to
