“Turkey should take away the S-400 air defense systems from Russia - this does not reduce, but on the contrary, further strengthens NATO’s defense capabilities. But we are doing this not for NATO, but to strengthen our own air defense system, ”he said.
Earlier, Rosoboronexport reported that Russia would supply Turkey with a second S-400 regiment.
The Turkish Ministry of Defense confirmed their intention to activate the air defense acquired from Russia, despite the threat of US sanctions.
