Bare with me, that might sound a strange subject to have in here, but it is relevent, one.... how will that effect their F16 fleet etc, and secondly, how will that effect the UK F-35 fleet, bearing in mind they will be overhauling the engine systems for us.

Just means their F-16s will end up as hangar queens and progressively grounded. I understand contingency plans are in place to cover F-135 overhauls - currently numbers make the issue manageable within other resources.

If he bans the IPhone then Apple should cut off Apple Services to that country.... making every IPhone a brick whilst it is in Turkish territory....

That would be pressure!
