US insists on Turkey's complete deliverance from C-400

71

Turkey must completely get rid of the Russian anti-aircraft missile system C-400, said US Assistant Secretary of Defense Jonathan Hoffman.

Speaking at a briefing at the Pentagon, Hoffman emphasized that the US adheres to the position of completely rid Turkey of the Russian anti-aircraft system, but so far Washington "does not see any signs that Ankara has changed its course and is moving towards the United States."



Our position on C-400 is that if Turkey wants to return to operation, let it get rid of C-400 first. This does not mean that she can keep them in a locked warehouse, she must precisely get rid of this weapon system

- he said.

According to him, the United States and NATO are "very concerned" with the problems that have arisen in connection with Turkey’s acquisition of the S-400 and the possible exclusion of Ankara from the F-35 fighter program, therefore "they must convince them (Turkey) that the future route is connected only with NATO and USA".

But we hope to convince them and make it clear that the way forward for them is to work with the United States and NATO. It's better than going the other way.

- said Hoffman.

Earlier in Turkey, it was repeatedly stated that they would not abandon the Russian S-400 air defense system under any circumstances, calling the US pressure "interference in the sovereign affairs of Turkey." At the same time, Ankara threatened to deprive the United States of its military bases and purchase Russian fighters in the event of the imposition of sanctions against it because of C-400.

      Yes, not only through the window ... in each barrel - (hereinafter referred to as sayings).
      A lot of statements on Turkey from the State Department, some kind of hysteria! Like not how, the second largest NATO army is getting out of control.

        And who said that the Turks are our allies? They are on their minds and defend their own interests. And who is our ally, can you name one? In WWII, we were in the same harness with the Americans and the British, this does not mean that we are allies to this day. Alliance is a loose concept. It can be stretched from Vietnam to Cuba, from Afghanistan to Finland. There were no permanent allies.

      It is this factor that suggests that the mattresses probably had promising geopolitical plans to "loosen the Turkish pipe", but these plans did not take into account the fact that Ankara would strengthen its position by strengthening its air defense. Apparently this "splinter" has entered the right place and is very worried about the mattresses laughing

      It was necessary "by mistake" to shoot down the vaunted F-35 when it flies into Syrian space. It is even possible with monetary compensation for the pilot and the plane. The effect will be much greater and will remain on the exhaust. And they will also fly less in a strange sky.

        Aaron, the opinion of the inhabitants of the promised land is very interesting. Why do you think the United States is so bent on Turkey’s purchase of the S400? The same Turkish stream is much more painful for the USA.

          I am not a resident of the promised land, but I will try to make 2 assumptions.
          1. They are probably trying to counteract the strengthening of Turkey and wish to continue to hold it in the most dependent position possible. However, it seems that they have already flown here.
          2. They are just fools, they have not yet realized that they are already late, that this step has already been taken and "it will not work to get everything back in the ass" and continue to "wave their fists after the fight." They gained momentum with their threats and simply do not understand that they need to retreat. They don't know how to give in anymore, just push, push, push. Their elites have degraded.

          To be honest, both options look very strange to me.

            The behavior of Americans fits into the model of behavior of God. God remains God as long as his command is carried out UNCERTAINLY. This is divinity - when any clearly dictated order passes into reality under any conditions.
            Americans have developed this model over the decades, and it is almost impossible to abandon it. Divinity is the highest expression of power, who once had such power cannot give it up, just as one cannot voluntarily give up breathing without dying. I'm afraid that war, if only to bring the "exceptional nation" to life, is already inevitable.

                No, it won't. Their "unconditional decision" was just a little stuck at the moment of execution. That is, there will be increasing pressure. To the limit. If the resistance grows proportionally, the situation will come to what we had in Stalingrad. On the one hand, the will of Germany, on the other, the USSR. And the one who broke, broke completely and forever.
                True, the whole question is how serious the situation is for India and Turkey. The USA simply has nowhere to retreat, if they do not impose their will, they are finished. Having ceased to be "exceptional," the United States will cease to be altogether. And the Turks and Indians, who wisely do not bring themselves to such degrees, are likely to apply the DDD rule.

                  I do not agree. They will just take it and forget about the Turkish air defense systems and simply stop talking about them. Business then.

                  For example, the text:
                  6 "And there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came among them.
                  7 And the Lord said to Satan, Where did you come from? And Satan answered the Lord and said, I have walked on the earth and have gone round it.
                  8 And the Lord said to Satan, Have you taken notice of my servant Job? for there is no one like him on earth: a man blameless, just, God-fearing and moving away from evil.
                  9 And Satan answered the Lord, and said, Is Job fearing God for nothing?

          And then why are they also fighting against the acquisition of the S-400 by India? There F-35 do not even plan to sell. First of all, it is a struggle against the military-political influence of the Russian Federation. When weapons are sold by Israel, Sweden, or even Italy and Germany, it’s just a business. When there is a sale of weapons of the Russian Federation, the USA and China, it is sold in conjunction with military-political ties.

    What could be a better advertisement for the S-400 complex than the American whining about the complex acquired by Turkey.

    Turkey is the most important and strongest assistant for the USA in the Black Sea direction. The loss or exit from the cost of such a territory greatly spoils the Anaconda plan, which no one canceled. So the ultimatums from here are growing, because the geopolitics of the state dictatorship is at stake. It will be indicative if the Turks do not do us nasty things.

      Now such a "Grandmother of the Boa" as "Turkish Stream" has crawled into Turkey, I think the Turks really would not want to part with it, barely starting to use it, so oh, how will they have to catch, so that the United States does not finally piss off and bring the matter to a rupture relations with Russia.

    The United States, if only to sell something more expensive to the Turks. As I understand it, do the Turks need stealth of the first strike against the Kurds or the Greeks? Turks are going to attack someone who is not "banana"? if not - (but no ...
    who shoots sparrows from a cannon) then the reasonable question is for him he generally ... defensive weapons ala air defense is always necessary

    Turkey has already spit in the face with the purchase of S-400. Especially Sam with a small letter. And this is just the beginning. Others will let America go further.

    You know, if before all this I had doubts about how good our air defense complex was, now they have completely disappeared. With what efforts the Americans are trying to remove it. So he really is like an awl in their ass. And it can clearly demonstrate how "good" all their vaunted stealths are.
