US Department of State - Turkey: Buy C-400 from Russians, get sanctions!

US Assistant Secretary of State Wess Mitchell said today that Turkey may be subject to sanctions if it completes the deal to acquire Russian C-400 anti-aircraft missile systems from Russia. According to Mitchell, the sanctions will affect Ankara in the framework of the so-called CAATSA project - a document, including banning transactions with the Russian Federation for the purchase of arms.

The same US State Department official said that the acquisition of the C-400 air defense system from Russia “will serve as an obstacle for Turkey’s participation in the program to acquire the fifth-generation F-35 fighter”. Recall that the Turks are trying to simultaneously acquire C-400 from Russia and F-35 from the United States.

It is noteworthy that just the day before, the White House stated that they did not object to the acquisition of anti-aircraft missile systems from Ankara from Russia. Now there they also remembered that they themselves had imposed restrictive measures on arms deals with Russia.

By the way, the State Department also commented on the events in Syria. The ministry said they did not seek confrontation with Moscow in the SAR, but "if necessary, they are ready for the use of force." Strength against whom?

This terrible word is SANCTIONS.
We are only developing from them, but I don’t know how the Turks are. Let's take a look.

[Logall]

Our sanctions are worse for them (the Turks)! But ours will not play it ... They will again bleat that the United States interferes with the trade of sovereign states.

And look what argument the United States is proposing: for Dogo, so that America does not oblige to buy F-35 from them, you can buy C-400, well, or C-300 in Russia

[Alex777]

Gentlemen! What are you talking about? I beg of you.
S-400 shoots down NATO planes. That is why the Turks buy them. Patriots do not shoot down NATO planes, and they are useless for the Turks. Obviously. Etdoan will never forget how he asked Merkel for asylum, but she refused. And the Turks blocked the base in Inzherlik and cut off the electricity for a reason. They knew for sure that NATO was involved in the coup attempt.
They will say whatever they want in order to get less on the neck here and now, and they will buy the S-400. No options.

[Sergey985]

The US cannot allow our complexes and F35 to be in Turkey at the same time. Immediately, all the insolvency of the aircraft will come out. So much money has been invested in a PR company, everything will collapse.

[just exp]

let them buy Fu-35, maybe let our specialists dig deeper into it.

[Alex777]

I don't think it's about the F-35's problems. The Yankees are confident that Turkey dreams of these F-35s. Why is not clear. And in another way they can not do anything to Turkey. Absolutely.

[Hire]

Turkey could come under sanctions if it completes a deal to acquire Russian S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems from Russia.

So let's see what kind of Sultan Erdogan is.

[Alex777]

The American general has already stated about the harm of these sanctions for America.
"Will we really be able to impose sanctions against those who buy Russian weapons? This will ruin our relations and give these countries to the Russians completely!"
So everyone is looking at the first one against whom the sanctions will be introduced and what they will be. And the Americans have zugzwang.

[Zubr]

Turkey will leave NATO, and we will accept it in the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), but only after the purchase from the striped f35. We need to investigate it properly.

[lekalpan]

Who on *** needs this flying coffin and investigate it?

[just exp]

Well, first of all, the fact that not the best (but not the worst) flight characteristics does not mean that the plane itself is bad. the electronics are top notch.
and we would need to know both the real EPR and the electronics for vulnerability to electronic warfare.

It is desirable, if they said "A", according to the logic, they should also say "B" (the reason for the slow development). I just didn’t see that someone at the forum from compatriots would stand up for the unprofessional activities of the government’s economic bloc.

[Evgeny Goncharov]

I personally don't have enough fingers for all the reasons. According to various estimates, the sanctions themselves cost the Russian Federation 0,25-0,75 pp of growth per year.

Many are mistaken about the terms. These are not sanctions, but stupidly unfair competition! Sanctions can be imposed by the UN, not some country with a bunch of syavs singing along in violation of all WTO rules. I don’t understand why our authorities are not raising this issue ..

Yeah, the United States has already once made "concessions" to Turkey, when a military helicopter took off from their base with the coups on board to shoot Erdogan. And even in this case (much worse), I don’t remember Turkey’s statements about its withdrawal from NATO. The fantasy ended after five minutes of abuse at the United States.

[Lesorub]

Recall that the Turks are trying to simultaneously acquire the S-400 from Russia and the F-35 from the United States.

If the Turks succeed, they will be armed with both - if they do not give weakness to the States.

They arrived called. The right of the strong. If Russia had such an economy, it would also bend everyone by the economic method for itself.

And Turkey will have to abandon the S-400 if the United States and Europeans seriously take on it in terms of economic sanctions. The main market for the goods is Europe for Turkey. And if it closes this screw, plus investments, plus their lira, so it is in a storm. will have to.
Do not confuse it with the Russian Federation, which possesses huge natural resources of almost any category. How not to give up Russian gas and oil. And Russia understands perfectly well that these resources will reluctantly buy from it and the Europeans understand that they are forced to buy.
And you can stop buying Buses, electrical equipment, ships, etc. from Turkey. Turkey for these positions in the top in Europe. And she will have nowhere to go. 145 million. Russia, if she wants to, will not be able to replace the 750 million European market.

[Yujanin]

the acquisition from Russia of the S-400 air defense system "will serve as an obstacle for Turkey's participation in the F-35 fifth generation fighter acquisition program»

Reminds of the program for Turkey's accession to the European Union, a member of which has been prevented from joining the EU for over 60 years.

[taiga2018]

It's funny when, on various talk shows, foreign "experts" begin to laugh, they say, Russia has no real, loyal allies, unlike the United States ... you know, in the event of a big war, all these US allies, who are kept only by all kinds of economic blackmail, will start the first to run away from such a "friend" as in the years of the Second World War, as Nazi Germany was defeated, the satellite allies fled from it ...

Turkey is actually the second largest buyer of Russian gas.
Germany 53.44
Turkey 29.3
Italy 24.
It would be difficult to turn off 30 billion cubic meters of gas.
This is not Ukraine, which, whatever one may say, will have to buy Russian gas. Turkey is next to the world exporters of oil and gas.

[Yeraz]

Quote: Separ DNR

Well ... China is on its way ...

Well-o-o ... Everything is not so rosy there ...

So far, Russia and China have one signed gas contract for 38 billion cubic meters through the Power of Siberia pipeline, in which Gazprom intends to invest 1,5 trillion rubles.
Initially, deliveries were planned to begin in 2018, then postponed to 2019. At the same time, the volumes may be cut, according to Reuters sources: after the fall in oil prices (to which the price of gas in the contracts is tied), Power of Siberia became unprofitable.
"The gas price in the Asia-Pacific region has more than doubled - from about $ 600 in 2014 to $ 270 per thousand cubic meters at present.... This is not the price for which the project was originally calculated, "explains Vasily Bogoyavlensky, deputy director of the Institute of Oil and Gas Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
Currently, China consumes about 200 billion cubic meters of gas per year, the bulk of it - about 130 billion cubic meters - is produced in the country. The remainder is imported from Turkmenistan (65 billion cubic meters last year).
The plan for the development of the gas industry, published in January by the PRC Energy Administration, suggests a 76% increase in consumption to 347 billion cubic meters in the next 15 years. However, China intends to produce almost all of the additional gas on its own.
Domestic production in China is planned to increase by 60%, to 220 billion cubic meters, of which 30 billion cubic meters is shale gas, the deposits of which began to be developed in 2016 with the help of the British-Dutch concern BP.
Therefore, you will not be able to wave the gas pipe.
I'm not even talking about the Turkish Stream, which Russia needs in the first place, and not Turkey.

Today on Yu Tube I saw a video about the Syrian air defense. As I understand it is a report of their local TV. Well, the technique is different and the old systems are shown there, and even the Pantsir rolls around in the frame all the time. But I noticed that one picture on the monitor shows the area controlled by the radar .. As I understand it, this is a decent piece of the Syrian coast, if not the whole .. That is, the Syrians have something to control and shoot down, I think they already have the territory of Israel should monitor and prevent nasty things from there .. In general, everything looks decent

To what extent are the Turks interested in purchasing the F-35? Could this Mitchell threat, on the contrary, strengthen Erodogan's decision to acquire the S-400? After all, then, firstly, he will reliably protect his sky, and secondly, there will be no need to spend money on these aircraft.

[Yeraz]

Quote: Captive

To what extent are the Turks interested in purchasing the F-35?

If you want to be a strong power you need it. This is FUU-35 in the F-35 ax, but not in the rest of the world.
And besides ...

If Washington refuses to supply Turkey with F-35s or Ankara withdraws from the program to create a fifth-generation multipurpose fighter-bomber worth about 400 billion US dollars, billions of dollars will be damaged.

Turkey has been one of the nine main participants in the F35 development program from the very beginning. According to the contract, Turkey is to receive 120 F35 fighter-bombers.

At the same time, Turkey is producing one of the most important parts of the F35 design, and it will be used in the assembly of all 3100 aircraft that program participants plan to purchase.

In addition, Turkey has committed itself to the maintenance and installation of F-35 engines. All this reduces the likelihood that the United States can exclude Ankara from the program.

If Washington decides to continue implementing the program without Ankara, then, according to some estimates, the burden on program partners will grow by more than 12 billions of dollars. And this despite the fact that the implementation of the program and so causes great controversy in the United States.

Given the technical support provided by Turkish companies to the program, Ankara's withdrawal from the program will affect the implementation of the project from a technological point of view.
