Turkey does not plan to abandon Russian anti-aircraft missile systems of the US-400 under the pressure of the United States, the head of the Defense Industry Department of Turkey Ismail Demir Izvestia.
According to him, Turkey “is able to determine its own policy.” “This (refusal from C-400) is not a subject of discussion for us. We discussed this issue in the past and now we just continue (cooperation with Russia). The refusal of this is not even discussed,” said Demir.
Previously, Reuters reported that the United States discusses Turkey the opportunity to send VSS S-400 to Ukraine purchased from Russia to Ukraine. According to the agency, this topic was discussed during the visit to Ankara at the beginning of March the US Deputy Secretary of State Wardy Sherman.
