Delivery of Russian S-400 missile systems to Turkey continues as the fifth plane arrives in Ankara on Sunday – Turkish defence ministry
Delivery of S-400 missile systems is continuing, Turkish National Defense Ministry said on Sunday.
The US says the S-400s are incompatible with NATO’s defence network and could compromise its F-35 fighter jets, an aircraft Turkey is helping build and planning to buy. To show it is serious, Washington has already started the process of removing Turkey from the F-35 programme. It has halted training of Turkish pilots in the US on the aircraft and refused to accept any others.
After meeting US President Donald Trump in Japan in June, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Ankara would be spared damaging US sanctions over the S-400s.
