Aug. 30 (UPI) -- Turkey began talks Friday about buying Sukhoi Su-35 and Su-57 fighter jets from Russia -- as an alternative plan after the Trump administration nixed a deal that would've allowed Ankara to add the new F-35 Lightning II to its military fleet.
The talks came after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan visited Russia this week to personally view the new Su-57 at an airshow in Moscow.
