In an interview with CBS News chief foreign affairs correspondent Margaret Brennan, Erdogan claimed that Turkey had never received the F-35 jets it had purchased from the US and was forced to seek out a Russian system following failed requests for the US-made Patriot air defense system.
The US has disputed claims of failed requests regarding its Patriot air defense system.
