The US gave Turkey the details of a possible Patriot contract

The American delegation arrived in Ankara handed over to the Turkish government detailed proposals on a possible agreement on the supply of Patriot anti-aircraft systems, reports Interfax.

According to the agency referring to the Turkish media, the American representatives held a series of meetings at the Turkish Defense Ministry, the Interior Ministry and the Ministry of Defense Industry.

The reaction of the Turkish authorities to the proposals submitted by guests from the United States is not reported. At the same time, the media clarify that in the case of preparing a contract, the issue of transferring technology to Ankara will also be taken into account.

Earlier, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt авavuşoлуlu said that the possible purchase of Patriot complexes would not affect the agreement with Russia to acquire C-400 air defense systems from it.

In December, it became aware of the approval of a possible deal by the US Department of State. The estimated contract value is about $ 3,5 billion.

Ankara twice rejected Washington’s proposals for a Patriot: for the first time in favor of the Chinese systems, the second in favor of the C-400 SAM. The United States and NATO have repeatedly warned Turkey that the Russian C-400 cannot be integrated into the alliance's air defense system. In addition, Washington threatened to block the delivery of Ankara F-35 fighter jets, if the Russian systems are still purchased.

As a member of the Federation Council Frants Klintsevich noted earlier, Turkey will not offend overseas friends.

As a NATO country, Turkey will not be in direct conflict with the United States, but will try to acquire both the American Patriot complexes and the Russian C-400 SAM, he said.

So Turkish tovarischi can remember about the Greeks - by the end of the 2000s, they exchanged the S-1999PMU purchased by Cyprus from Russia in 300 for the Tor-M1 and several Zuzana self-propelled guns, the exchange took place due to the reluctance of the same Turkey to these complexes ended up in Cyprus. As a result, both S-300s (as an example - https://topwar.ru/37356-greciya-uspeshno-provela-pervye-strelby-iz-zrk-s-300-pmu1.html) and "Patriot" PAC -3 and in my opinion, none of this tragedy did, but now, about times, about morals ..

Of course, it is also necessary to acquire the S-400 (as one of the main air defense systems of the Russian Federation?) In order to test the F-35 on it, which the entire Western bloc is betting in the future. I hope ours will not sell after all.

[Lamatinets]

can sell if the grandmother's eyes are frozen

[KCA]

Yes, SUCH S-400s are not in service in the Russian Federation, this is an export option, there are a lot of nuances, only specialists know, one can clearly single out, for example, the maximum target range of 400 km, such missiles cannot be exported according to the non-proliferation treaty missile technology, and export restrictions do not count the numbers

[irazum]

They will sell, even as they will sell! Of course, the Turks do not have palm oil on credit. But not entirely for nothing, as with the "scoop".

[svp67]

But he did not say they have money for this? Is there enough pennies or on credit?

[Oquzyurd]

Turkey's GDP reaches 900 billion dollars. and will not find the lousy 3.5 billion dollars ??? They will buy petriot and s-400 in bulk and will not notice the spending) By the way, they themselves export up to 6 billion dollars. armaments and the years ahead, this figure will grow sharply, as Turkey's armaments are in priority. First of all, there is a special demand for Milgem warships, Baikar combat drones and Atak-2 helicopters with smart missiles and jet fire systems "Kasyrga". I understand Turkish and recently there was a TV program on this topic, there are more than 10 countries in the queue for these weapons, ready to buy even tomorrow for cash.

. I understand Turkish and there was recently a TV program on this subject, more than 10 countries are waiting in line for these weapons, ready to buy for cash at least tomorrow.

And the list of countries is possible to understand the possible volume of orders, in any case, in the 2017 year, Turkey occupied the 12 place in the world in the sale of weapons and its volume is half that located in the 11 place of South Korea

[Oquzyurd]

They didn’t talk about the list, but I know for sure that Pakistan, Indonesia and Qatar are on the list + Azerbaijan.

[Hypersound]

Recently we saw the result of blowing up "Turkey's magnificent weapons" by a mine

[Oquzyurd]

Of course, of course, the old cobra and your joy. Think so, me what)

[FOBOSS]

GDP of 900 billion. This is absolutely not equal to the country's budget. So it’s not a fact that there’s enough money for everything at once

[Oquzyurd]

Enough money and if anything, Azerbaijan will help out.

[FOBOSS]

What does Azerbaijan have to do with Turkey

[Oquzyurd]

Sometimes Azerbaijan finances the necessary weapons, like the case with the "Polonaises", and sometimes it helps in order to take the necessary equipment or supplies in exchange, and sometimes they invest in the country's economy in order to free up the necessary money for this country, which they should spend on those the same objects. (for example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_34gexA7nA for 6.3 billion dollars) Instead, take the high-precision "SOM" "Kasirqa" and a lot of things from "Aselsan" and "Roketsan" products ... Moreover, Turkey is a fraternal country, in every sense, and it will be profitable to buy from them.

[izya top]

huh, turkish hobbyists. what new year discount do they blackmail the yankes?

[Terenin]

The Turks are now in a favorable position. It is logical that they will raise rates, both before the Anglo-Saxons, and before us, as far as their appetite and prudence of the authorities allow. That is - politics.

[rocket757]

And the Sultan already quite a while and a lot of work! not deserved, so the card fell to him!
Madam luck, she is! turned to someone in a loin, and smiled at someone, Sultan!
Boom to consider sho is temporary, boom to see!

[protoss]

not deserved, so the card fell to him!

if it were all so explained. in fact, Recep is the smartest politician, a lover of forks and gambits, which everyone comes across.

[rocket757]

Any lover of forks and gambits, either stumbles upon them, or anything else, does not matter.
Just wait, see ..... for sure it will happen.
The whole polyptychum around us praises and advertises its opponents, not for the identity, the Schaub looks absolutely cool against their background !!!
But in the world everything is simple! All for the sake of money, all for the sake of power, which money also gives zhezh!

[Errr]

Can you buy friendship? Or else in Japan, for example, it is believed that it is better to die than to “lose your face”, because the dead have no shame, and the living is still living in the status of the dead. Nobody has anything to do with the person who has lost his face, since how can you deal with a corpse?

[Oquzyurd]

That's right, a smart politician, and malicious and envious want to explain this with simple luck)

[rocket757]

And who said that the Sultan is not smart?
Now, if he did not take advantage of the current situation, then yes.
Just ascribe everything to him ??? He is an important figure, but not a queen, in the game that is now underway.

Politics is a plurality of interests. Turkey has an interest in it! Protect your sky from the USA!

Hmm ... Check for lice, however.

[rocket757]

This is someone and from whom on lice then?

[Errr]

This is a check for lice potential partner, if in Che.

[rocket757]

With "partners" it is somewhat difficult, because the criteria there are not the same as we are to friends, for example, presented, we check for lice!
Partners have such a criterion as profitability at the forefront!

[Errr]

Well then, let them drive the zuzi, and it’s the end!

[irazum]

And who is Klintsevich? And the suspicious name is "Franz". French, or what?

Well, and the Jews were glad that Turkey would not have the F-35 and Patriot, it turns out everything will be, and even the S-400 in addition

[Reserve buildbat]

Everything is clear with the Turks. "Patriots" for show-off, S-400 for business. I just can't understand why our "defective managers" are selling air defense systems to the NATO country, which are head and shoulders above any NATO handicrafts? It is not necessary to squander technology, but to lean these "managers" against the wall.

[Hypersound]

This rubbish does not even reach the top versions of the S-300, while the S-400 is generally space compared to the Patriot. It is also much more expensive than Russian systems

[Prisoner]

It’s not fate to see the Patriot system just to sell. It hurt too many times she screwed up.

[ANCIENT]

Now the sultan is going to Moscow to get permission to buy Patriots from the USA in exchange for access to our specialists.
