In Turkey, said that C-400 will not be integrated into a single NATO air defense system
A few days ago, Turkish President Recep Erdogan once again made a statement that the C-400 order from Russia is a matter of course.
Akar Hulusi said today that “the fears of Turkey’s partners in NATO are unfounded.”
The Turkish Defense Minister noted that the Ankara anti-aircraft missile systems purchased from Russia are not going to be integrated into a single anti-missile defense system of the North Atlantic military bloc.
According to Hulusi, Turkey does not allow any changes in relations towards NATO partnership.
However, NATO is well aware that the statements of the Minister of Defense of Turkey actually have pitfalls. Why? The fact is that even if Turkey does not introduce C-400 into a single NATO air defense system, it has the parameters of NATO planes. In the United States, they believe that it is these data that Ankara can pass to the Russian military, who will serve the complexes.
It should be recalled that Turkey is in the most advantageous position in this situation. First, it diversifies arms shipments. Secondly, it does this at the expense of the loan attracted from Russia. Thirdly, it demonstrates its independent policy.
