Turkey Still In Talks With Russia About S-400 Missile System Deliveries

TURKEY
  • Turkey's Ismail Demir said they were still talking to Russia about procuring a second batch of one of S-400s, despite the war in Ukraine - highlighting that the second pruchase was part of the same deal.
  • "This was always a single project. We are not talking about creating a second project," said Demir. "We are continuing to implement the same decision we made from the beginning."
  • Demir said Turkey did not take immediate delivery of the second batch of the Russian S-400 because of contractual disputes.
  • This purchase is the core driver of US CAATSA sanctions on Turkey and its exclusion from the F-35 programme. A second purchase would undoubtedly be detrimental to Turkey-US relations - AFP
