    Default Turkey Begins Testing Russian S-400 Defense System

    A media outlet in Turkey reported Monday the country’s military is to begin testing Russian-made S-400 air defense systems, despite threats of sanctions from its NATO allies.

    The Milliyet newspaper, which has close links to the government, said Monday that the military is planning to test the S-400s that are currently deployed at an airbase in the outskirts of the Ankara.

    Turkey took delivery of two Russian S-400 batteries this year, dismissing warnings from the United States that they pose a threat to NATO security. As a result, Washington suspended Turkish participation in the multinational F-35 fighter jet program.

    U.S. legislators have warned of sanctions if Turkey activates the system
    .

    The S-400 is the latest generation surface-to-air defense system developed by Russia as a rival for America’s own Patriot weaponry, and is considered by NATO countries to pose a threat to their combined air operations.

    The S-400 missiles are not interoperable with the technology NATO countries use, as the alliance requires.

    In a speech in February, U.S. Vice President Mike Pence declared that the Trump administration has “made it clear that we will not stand idly by while NATO allies purchase weapons from our adversaries. We cannot ensure the defense of the West if our allies grow dependent on the East

    Turkiye wont integrate new air defence systems to NATO, so NATO forces will be identified as "enemy" by Turkiye.

    Which- looking at the state of the Middle East and the unbridled aggression of Izrael- they probably are.

    I cannot see how anybody thinks it's a good idea for a NATO partner to purchase weapons from a potential adversary.

    We as Turkiye also cannot see how it is a good idea that our NATO partner US and other partners behave such hostile against us.
