Turkey will start receiving its order of Russian S-400 air defence systems in July, Turkey's President Erdogan says
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the S-400 issue is directly related to Turkey's sovereignty rights and Ankara"will not take a step back from this."
Turkey will start receiving its order of Russian S-400 air defence systems in July, according to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Tensions between the US and Turkey have escalated in recent months over the S-400 purchase. Washington said the Russia-made defence system will jeopardise Turkey's role in the F-35 fighter jet programme and could trigger sanctions.
US officials are now urging Turkey to buy US Patriot missiles, arguing the Russian system would be incompatible with NATO systems and expose the F-35s to possible Russian subterfuge.
