“Rumors about the placement of the C-400 anti-aircraft missile systems on the basis of Indezhirylik are unfounded.” This was announced by the source of the Ministry of Defense in an interview with Daily Sabah.
Note that earlier Sky News Arabia site made a sensational statement about the delivery of S-400 systems to the “Indezhirylik” base in Adana, which is used by USA and NATO.
The initial purchase of the S-400 anti-aircraft missile complex in Russia led to the exacerbation of relations between Ankara and Washington. The United States threatened to introduce sanctions against Turkey if the official Ankara will buy the main weapons system from Moscow.
Washington was afraid that the C-400 system could be used by Russia to obtain secret information about F-35 aircraft, and also stated incompatibility with NATO systems. Turkey, in turn, insists that the C-400 will not be integrated into the NATO system and do not pose a threat to the alliance.
