Turkey expresses interest in buying F-35B STOVL variant

Kerry Herschelman - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly

Turkey recently expressed to the United States its interest in purchasing the F-35B
short take-off/vertical landing (STOVL) version of the Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter,
Jane’s has learned from Turkish and Western defence industry sources. This is in
addition to the 100 F-35As it already plans to buy from Lockheed Martin.

A senior Turkish Defence Industries undersecretariat official expressed his country’s
interest in buying F-35 STOVL variants to Vice Admiral Mathias Winter, head of the US
Defense Department’s F-35 programme office, during a meeting held in Ankara in mid-
October.

It is unclear how many F-35B STOVL variants Turkey intends to buy.
