Turkey: Purchase date for new S-400 Russian missiles is just a technicality

Turkey’s presidential administration has said that
the purchase date for more S-400 missile systems from Russia is just a
technicality and that it thinks the deal will happen before too long, the RIA
news agency reported on Monday.
Moscow hopes to seal a deal to supply Turkey with
more S-400 missile systems in the first half of next year, the head of Russian
state arms exporter Rosoboronexport said last month.
Such a move could further sour ties between Turkey
and the United States, which has suspended Ankara from the F-35 stealth fighter
jet program, in which it was a producer and buyer, to punish it for buying
S-400 batteries earlier this year.
