US Representative to NATO: Turkey Recognizes Responsibility for Acquiring C-400

87
The US ambassador at NATO headquarters commented on the acquisition by Turkey of Russian C-400 anti-aircraft missile systems. The main question that interests the members of NATO today is: will Washington introduce anti-Turkish sanctions for the purchase of Russian arms by Turkey?

On the question of journalists regarding the imposition of sanctions against Ankara, Kay Bailey Hutchison (US representative to NATO) did not directly respond. Informational portal DefenseNews cites a statement by Hutchison, which contains the words that "Turkey is aware of all the consequences of such a step."



US Representative to NATO: Turkey Recognizes Responsibility for Acquiring C-400


Once again, the American representative noted that Russian weapons could not be integrated into a single NATO air defense system. US military experts say that the very attempt to integrate the C-400 into the NATO air defense system "may allow Russia to find out details of the organization of the alliance's air defense system."

Hutchison:
Of course, this is a big problem (in that Turkey buys SAMs from Russia). But we need to take into account the position of Turkey, as it is a valuable NATO partner. For example, it provides support for operations in Afghanistan. Any NATO request Ankara does not leave unanswered.


Recall that on the eve of Erdogan accused Washington of providing financial support to ISIS terrorists (* banned in the Russian Federation) in Syria.

      The Turks were well aware. To be friends with pin.dostan, you need to arm yourself to the teeth. And it is advisable not to buy them off. So then there would be no surprises. Erdogan already understood who he was dealing with, and therefore was arming himself with Russian weapons.

        Turks are well-known traders, by purchasing C400 they acquired an extra bonus in trading with the USA.

              Erdogan is in fact a strong politician. He bends Europeans and mattresses. Who else in the world is capable of this? Now, on the fingers of one hand, you can count politicians who can talk with a mattress without fumbling and not fawning on the immigrants from Europe who now live in America.
              Russians, Chinese, Iranians, and so the Turks pulled themselves up. And of course, the North Koreans, but they are forced. I no longer remember those who really live their own ideas about the world and the world order.
              For the first time in the history of mankind, Russians have proposed a world order in which they do not require the submission of the weak to the strong. Equal rights and respect for the interests of all parties. This is stronger than any Marxism and other ism.

                You idealize. Russia's actions in Syria and Ukraine are the most direct manifestations of power - the submission of the weak to the strong. Another question is that we did not start. But essentially power is deciding.
                And new allies appear with us only as they realize that power is ours.
                And you are talking about equality and respect for all interests. Marx was dragged for some reason.
                Marx actually said that a society built on the power of capital (read, again, subject to financially weaker ones) would not take into account the interests of the weakest. What is happening everywhere in Russia now.
                What kind of equality and respect for all interests on the world stage are you talking about when everything inside our state is still not very good in these matters? Another question - not very good yet or already? Yes, while everything is better with us than with them.

    Great note. After all, "how the S-300 protect the peaceful sky of Greece," I will say the following. The system is used as an element of the “conditional” adversary’s air defense system; all NATO air forces, and even the Israeli air force (non-NATO), are practicing the tactics of breaking through the air defense line. The question is - will the S-400 in Turkey be another NATO training ground? After all, the S-300 of Greece is quite outdated.

      The question is - will the S-400 in Turkey be another NATO training ground?

      There are two aspects:
      Firstly, the Turks have recently had very strained relations with the West due to the recent coup attempt in the country, arranged over the hill. Turkey quarreled with Israel tightly and, apparently, for a long time. Slowly, the troops of the partners are withdrawing from Inzherlik to prevent the possibility of internal provocations. Conclusion: the Turks need to defend themselves, and not only from enemies, but also from “partners”.
      Secondly, the C400 in the export version is a fairly truncated system. The USSR and Russia have enough experience to make such a system sufficiently effective and at the same time not to give out all the secrets. Of course, some work algorithms can be seen and understood, but secrets will not be fully revealed.

        Hello Volodya! If there are no beads, then you are not a person in the USA. It's kind of a color differentiation of pants wink

          American colonialists bought a whole Manhattan island from the Indians for multi-colored glass beads. An integral part of the Ukrainian national costume “corals” - beads from red coral
          I'm sorry, I forgot to say hello, I liked your koment - hello Volodya hi

    The S-400 does not need to be integrated, it is a completely self-sufficient and independent unit of weapons, everything is for friends of mattresses, so as not to relax.

    If the military does not trample the Islamists and Erdogan out of power and restore the Atatürk’s constitution,
    then Turkey should be excluded from NATO.

      Well, exclude that, in principle, Russia is seeking!
      But you will not give Turkey up to the liquidation of Erdogan? Vet so

    Nato without Turkey, that hammer without steel.
    The war is not interesting for European youth. And Latinos are fighting for amers in the east.

      Only stinky bugs will remain in NATO .. ​​The Turks can still fight and carry out ground operations, not cowards!
      Of course, Russia will not be friends with Turkey, but you can negotiate with them! And this is the main advantage of the Turks ...

      Turkey has a rather strong army, although Erdogan weakened it fairly by mass purges. Especially the Air Force. But if Turkey continues the process of political Islamization, then all the same with NATO it will not be on the way. Even if its exit will weaken NATO.

    But we need to take into account the position of Turkey, as it is a valuable partner in NATO.

    I do not understand ..... In the days of the USSR, yes, but right now, when the Abrashs are standing near Leningrad ....
