It clarifies the "Ino-TV", the interlocutors of the publication reported that "an unprecedented discord" in relations between Washington and Ankara against the background of the purchase of the Turkish side of Russian-made weapons "led to the biggest crisis in NATO in the past decade."

“As soon as Turkey adopts the Russian complexes, some of which have already been delivered, it will no longer be a full-fledged member of the NATO missile defense system,” the text says.

Also, as the newspaper notes, the purchase of C-400 by Turkey instead of the Patriot American air defense system raised doubts about the possibility of "continuing (US- RT ) military cooperation with the Turkish side."

However, according to representatives of the Pentagon, this decision will not affect the strategic relations of the parties.
