Turkish Minister of National Defense Yaşar Güler:

"We are fighting against PKK members on the Iranian border. They are running away across the border. We tell our Iranian friends that they went there. Because we follow them with UAVs, we see them. Iran tells us that there is no one there. Of course, we are disturbed. We constantly discuss this with them. But the result is "We can't reach a result." The PKK, which is stuck after Turkey's operations in Syria and Iraq, receives the greatest support from our so-called friend Iran.

The Chinese aren't selling the J20. It has been repeated many times over, you should stop posting such news articles. UAE contemplating means jackshit.
