The United States has halted all F-35 aircraft shipments to Turkey, announced the Pentagon on Monday, due to the latter planning to acquire a Russian missile-defense system.

“Pending an unequivocal Turkish decision to forgo delivery of the S-400, deliveries and activities associated with the stand-up of Turkey’s F-35 operational capability have been suspended while our dialogue on this important matter continues with Turkey,” said the U.S. Department of Defense, according to CNN.
