question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the advice of the Supreme Allied Commander Europe that if Turkey proceeds to purchase the Russian S-400 air defence system it should receive no delivery of F-35 aircraft.

uin	HL15221
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/04/2019 answer text <p>The UK remains concerned by the planned purchase of S-400 by Turkey and its implications for their continued participation in the F-35 programme. As the US administration has made clear, the purchase of S-400 generates unacceptable risks around F-35. We share this risk assessment and continue to call on Turkey to reconsider its planned purchase in light of those risks and the US offer of alternative solutions to legitimate Turkish air defence requirements.</p> answering member printed Earl Howe question first answered 24/04/2019 14:58:44 answering member 2000 label Biography information for Earl Howe
