The US Department of Defense called the condition for the delivery of Patriot systems to Turkey

March 11 2020 38

The original position on the sale of arms of Turkey voiced in the United States. First of all, it was about Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems. Earlier it became known that Ankara requested from Washington the supply of such air defense systems, but the US authorities refused to complete the transaction. Then Turkey, as Erdogan stated, turned to Russia and acquired from it S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems.

Speaking at a briefing, US Department of Defense spokesman Jonathan Hoffman said the US was ready to deliver the Patriot to the Turks if Ankara met one condition.

Hoffman:

The Minister (Esper Defense) clearly outlined the position. It consists in the fact that Turkey will not be able to get a Patriot air defense system if it does not return the S-400 Triumph to (Russia).

Recall that earlier, the Turkish president allegedly ostensibly softened Washington’s stance on Patriot supplies for the needs of Turkey’s air defense.

It is known that the Turkish Armed Forces will begin the full deployment of Russian-made S-400 complexes in April. Initially, it was reported that Russian specialists would arrive in Turkey to instruct the Turkish military in terms of preparing for the deployment of combat alert systems.

    Well, in half. And the Turks have already paid for real money. So - not quite on credit ... Return - let them return, good weapons, they will come in handy. And money? ... what money?

        American planes went over their goals in Tripoli. It was reported that some Libyan soldiers in fear and bewilderment left their posts, and the officers were in no hurry to give orders. Also, the Libyan fighters did not manage to fly in the air to challenge the attacking bombers.
        
        It turns out bookmarks were in all Soviet and French zrk and in fighters. Or everything was simpler - the Libyans dropped their weapons and fled
        
        In the 90s they talked a lot and charged the cans from the TV with Chumak. There are no studies and at least some clear arguments about bookmarks

For rubles? Which are now 10% down?
What is the benefit for us if, when paying in rubles, we simply lose all profit. But the Turks, on the contrary, it’s easier and easier to buy rubles for payment.

S-400, apparently, will guard Erdogan's residence. Against our own aviation (what if a "mole" is hiding there - an ideologically unreliable pilot?)
But the Patriot is deployed against Syria, Greece, Israel, in short - external factors.

      The opinion of which experts?
      Patriot fought in several wars.
      S-400 has never fought.
      Or do you think that Americans do not work on mistakes? In your head - are they also "well stupid"?
      
      About the factory.
      where does the factory stand?
      Near the Persian Gulf?
      How many are there from the borders of the Hussites?
      500 kilometers of bare desert?
      Or do you also think that Iran’s OTR and BR, located 150km away, are secondary goals for the Saudis?
      
      If a month later the Saudis conducted a large-scale operation to search for those who actually launched these drones from Saudi territory?
      Traitors were local.
      From a distance of 50 kilometers, drones flying at low altitude will in no way be noticed by the radar, "vigilant" in the other direction ...
      
      You imagine - the launch of OTR from the territory of Balakovo in the direction of the Syzransky, Novokuybyshevsky and Kuibyshevsky refineries ... I guarantee - everyone will fly quickly and accurately. And not one will be shot down.
      And why? Because. that no one controls this direction ...
      
      So it is here.

        You know all the same, the question remains
        
        If the Turks already have systems for a similar purpose, with clearly contrived characteristics, why do they tear their throats in an attempt to get a Patriot?
        
        After all, it cannot be that where the Patriot is needed, the S-400 is completely unacceptable
        
        Moreover, the Patriot is clearly not a standard and its combat use is more likely an anti-advertisement. fails tasks every other time (attacks by Iranian BRs on Iraqi bases or Skud getting into a barrack with US soldiers in 1991)
