Turkey’s potential return to the F-35 program remains blocked by U.S. statutory requirements under CAATSA and the FY2020 NDAA, which bar participation or transfers unless Ankara no longer possesses its Russian S-400 system and meets certification conditions. Talks accelerated in late 2025 and 2026, including proposals to relocate the S-400 to a Gulf partner such as the UAE, alongside U.S. signals of possible engine sales for Turkey’s KAAN fighter. As of August 2026, the State Department has confirmed Turkey does not yet satisfy the legal threshold, congressional opposition persists, and no final decision has been announced despite improved bilateral diplomacy. Trader sentiment hinges on whether these transfer negotiations produce verifiable compliance before any resolution window closes.
