Pentagon Gives Turkey a Deadline to Cancel S-400 Deal or Lose F-35
By July 31, says the ASecDef, Ankara must choose between the Russian S-400 or the U.S.-led JSF.
The Pentagon has started the process of removing Turkey from the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program, and has drawn up plans to shift the NATO ally’s manufacturing roles to American and allied manufacturers, U.S. defense officials said Friday.
Washington has given Ankara a deadline: by July 31, Turkey must cancel its order of Russian S-400 missile interceptors — or lose its right to buy 100 F-35s and make parts for even more of the high-tech jets, Pentagon acquisition chief Ellen Lord told reporters on Friday.

Why, by the way? Purely for political reasons, right? I mean, by all accounts the S400 is a fine weapon system; from a logistical and financial point of view though, you wouldn't want to buy a platform that's not compatible with all the other tech you use, perhaps to the point of not even being able to communicate with it, and that'll produce eye-watering costs due to a lack of synergetic effects.

Thanks for clearing this up for me. I also editted it from my original post too. The stories of the Great War-era Imperial German Navy that I heard in my early education must have kicked in to my memory when I was writing it down
