Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that Ankara hopes to organize joint production of air defense systems with Russia. Erdogan's speech was broadcasted by the Turkish television channel NTV.


Erdogan noted that Turkey began to receive Russian S-400 missiles, despite the fact that “some said” that the Turkish side “cannot receive these systems and accommodate them”.

“We are becoming one of the few countries with the latest air defense systems. The goal is to manufacture them together with Russia, and we will do it, ”the Turkish president said.

Earlier, the ninth plane with components of the Russian S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems flew to Turkey at Myurt Air Base.
