Washington does not recommend Turkey to buy Russian C-400 air defense systems and offers Ankara modern anti-aircraft systems compatible with the NATO air defense system, reports RIA News Pentagon chief James Mattis statement.
What is happening now is that incompatible missile defense systems are being brought into one area. And this is hardly in the best interests of NATO,
Mattis said at a congressional hearing.
The minister added that Washington continues negotiations with Ankara and offers it anti-aircraft systems that meet the standards of the North Atlantic bloc.
As previously reported, Russia and Turkey have agreed to speed up the supply of C-400. This decision was made following the April meeting between Vladimir Putin and Tayyip Erdogan.
In December 2017, Moscow and Ankara signed a loan agreement for the purchase of C-400. According to Turkish representatives, the country will receive two batteries. An agreement was also reached on launching a production line for licensed air defense systems in Turkey.
