Al-Jazeera discusses S-400 testing in Turkey and the risk of being used against Russian aviation

89

In the near future, Turkey expects to conduct additional tests of the Russian S-400 air defense system. It is not clear yet whether these plans of Ankara are connected with a new armed conflict in Karabakh.

As you know, the decision to purchase the S-400 air defense system from Russia caused a storm of indignation among Turkey's main NATO partner, the United States. Nevertheless, Recep Erdogan did not follow Washington's lead and the S-400s were nevertheless delivered to Turkey. For this, the United States excluded Turkey from the F-35 fighter program.



After the delivery of the S-400, the Turkish military began testing them. First, Turkish F-16 and F-4 aircraft simulated an attack by Ankara and were spotted by S-400 radars. Then a Greek F-16 plane, returning from NATO exercises, hit the radar field.

In early October this year, the Turkish command deployed the S-400 to the Black Sea, to the Sinop region. It is here that they are going to be checked again. Meanwhile, a number of foreign mass media are already expressing concern about the possible preparation of the S-400 for participation in a new armed conflict in Transcaucasia, if it goes beyond the borders of Karabakh and Turkey joins it. In this case, the S-400 can be used against the Russian aviation.

As Al-Jazeera writes, unlike the Patriot, the S-400 air defense system can hit several aircraft at once at a distance of up to 400 kilometers. This means that with the help of the S-400 Turkish air defense "covers" most of Syria. Moreover, the S-400 battery stationed on the Syrian-Turkish border is capable of striking aircraft in the Damascus region and even Beirut. Naturally, Russian planes heading to the Khmeimim base in the Syrian province of Latakia are also hit by the battery.

It is not only Russia, Syria and Armenia that should worry about Turkey's possession of the S-400, but also Greece. Although Greece is formally Turkey's ally in the North Atlantic Alliance, in reality both countries have long viewed each other as possible adversaries. Greece operates the Russian S-300 air defense systems, and is very concerned about the appearance of a more advanced air defense system in Turkey.

With the help of the S-400, Turkey can control the entire Aegean Sea and the Eastern Mediterranean. Worth remembering history the late 1990s, when Cyprus acquired the S-300 from Russia. Then it was Ankara who protested against the deployment of air defense systems in Cyprus, claiming that with their help, Cyprus will be able to control southern Turkey. As a result, the S-300s were transferred to Greece and deployed in Crete.


The video showed the passage of the S-400 air defense missile system through the streets of a Turkish city. Here, on the Black Sea coast of the country, Ankara is going to once again conduct combat tests of the Russian air defense system. To ensure the safety of the tests, appropriate recommendations were given to civil aviation.

So far, writes Al-Jazeera, it is not very clear where the Turks will deploy the S-400. But in any case, their presence in service with the Turkish army has now added problems to Russia. At first, Moscow hoped to win from a lucrative contract and at the same time demonstrate to the United States its growing influence over Turkish President Recep Erdogan, but now the sold S-400s can be used anywhere - in Syria, Libya, in the Caucasus.

Being extremely effective, the S-400 air defense systems significantly increase the combat potential of the Turkish air defense, which now has practically no competitors in the region, except perhaps Israel or Iran. The latter, by the way, should also be worried, taking into account the centuries-old and not stopped to this day confrontation with Turkey for political influence in the Middle East and Transcaucasia.

Probably, at one time it was necessary to think more carefully about all the possible consequences of profitable contracts. For example, the same USA does not supply weapon to their potential adversaries, especially the weapons that would allow them to act effectively against the American army or its allies.

                    When Russia or the United States supported the various parties to the conflict, when they maneuvered their forces, trying to get a better position before a possible collision with each other, this was called the Cold War.
                    When Erdogan supports terrorists in Syria, whom we have been killing for years, when we have to drag S-400s to Syria, because the Turks simply took and shot down our plane and their charges killed our pilot, when Erdogan brings his tame terrorists to our borders when his troops are directly at war with Haftar we supported (shooting at our military experts as well), when the Turks kill our ambassador and threaten our next ambassador with impunity, when we are forced to destroy their military columns, when the Turks seize a significant part of the territory by force Syria that is allied to us, regardless of the Syrians or us, when they stir up (including manpower and resources) the conflict on our borders, etc. etc. - do you express confidence that there will be no conflict between us? Yes, he is already in full swing. And with real victims on each side. What are you talking about here? Have you read the news for the last 10 years?

And the questions about the downed plane and the murder of Ambassador Karlov indicate that either you yourself missed the discussion of these topics, or you are one of those people who are annoyed by the lack of sight.
                      Regarding Turkey's participation in the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict, if you don’t believe me, listen to the opinion of the historian publicist David Eidelman. He has been reading the news for the past 10 years for sure.

        So with all modern air defense systems going for export.
        But there is a precedent when the Ukrainians in the war 080808 recoded Buki and shot down our planes with them. I dare to hope that such a trick will not work with the S-400.

          Now, not a single product is produced without tabs, but then even the Academy of Sciences of the USSR did not disdain with tabs and in Ying-t encouraged their active use.

After all none does not know HOW to most effectively suppress a high-tech weapon system, better than the one who CREATED it! Why did the Yankees get so excited about the sale of the S-400 to Turkey? Is it just because they have taken away a tidbit of the "gun pie"? No matter how it is! (In the end, they could have sucked in on the "Patriot" PAC-3!). And not because the S-400 can "drop" data on the F-35 to satellites! They were afraid of something else: if the Turks bought the Patriots, the Yankees would know HOW to effectively deal with them (in the event of a conflict with the Sultan against the background of a general mutual "cooling") ..... And how to effectively deal with St. 400 - they DO NOT KNOW (and the Turks are in no hurry to share with them!). But the American "Patriots" - yes! For our videoconferencing (and not only ours) they can pose a serious danger (much more than the S-400, although they are somewhat inferior to the "four hundred") ...

      There was an article just the other day about the S-400 "An own goal or a contract with a long-range scope?" Where the author reasoned that if the radar technology gets to the Americans, they will be able to quickly develop algorithms for their electronic warfare in order to effectively push through the S-400 radar. But we know "from what" we made the S-400 for the Turks, what algorithms they use. This means that we must have effective electronic warfare against them.

    I can’t understand the goals and benefits of Russia that it supplied Turkey with the S-400. What would split the unity of NATO to wipe the nose of the American military-industrial complex, to make money? So all this pales before the hidden and not advertised insult by Turkey that Russia has taken away the most desirable geopolitical and military foothold of Crimea from under Turkey's nose. And how many oil tankers with smuggled Syrian oil, who carried oil to Turkey,
    destroyed by Russia in Syria? After all, the first to destroy the Russian Aerospace Forces in Syria were oil tankers to Turkey. And Turkey's grievances for all its defeats
    Russia, for the fact that only with a happy coincidence at the beginning of the twentieth century, Constantinople did not become a Russian city, and Tsar Nicholas II already
    considered how many thousands of Cossacks from the Kuban would have to be resettled to the Russian part of Turkey and to Constantinople? How did Turkey participate in
    care and supply of Chechen terrorists during the Chechen war in Russia? And the Russian ambassador killed by a Turk in Turkey, and a Russian plane shot down by Turkey. Impudently in the back. So it didn’t come to Putin that after all these historical and today's lessons from Turkey, at any moment Russia could get a knife in the back. And after that, will it supply Turkey with one of the most modern S-400 weapons? Where were the Russian
    political and military analysts, experts, historians, advisers to Putin and the military? ? Maybe I don't understand something, if not a military man and not a politician. Can anyone from the respected commentators explain to me what the benefits were, the goals and this same tsimus for Russia, when, after all the above, she took and sold Turkey one of its main and modern weapons. By the way, they have no analogues in the world.

      Let me try laughing Everything you described was before the coup. The coup is key. The coup itself was provoked by an economic blow from Russia, a masterful sabotage against the Turkish Air Force, as well as the pre-war situation with Casus Belli. The caste that ruled Turkey for the last century, in such a situation, takes full control over itself and removes the civil, political cabinet. Plus Erdogan had previously ceased to suit them, like the West. RF undoubtedly pulled off the economic stranglehold, certainly admitted a blow. But the intelligence, apparently, received information about the preparations for the coup and Erdogan was saved. The elite of Turkey has undergone a revolutionary change comparable to the fall of Tsarism in RI. The hereditary, primarily military caste has been eliminated. The southern flank of NATO, where Turkey's role was decisive, also cracked. In the European theater, NATO was preparing to defend itself against the tank fist of the USSR, and in the South, a strike was being prepared into the underbelly of the USSR, using local peoples. After the collapse of the USSR, the Russian Federation in general became less protected in this direction. But a number of actions, including military ones, made it possible to defend the control of the Caucasus and have bridgeheads in the Transcaucasus. Therefore, we need Erdogan to destroy NATO and have already cracked their Southern Front. It is also now used against Pashinyan's magpie and the training of Armenia. And the S-400 makes it possible to repel an Israeli Air Force attack. Because American weapons, in particular the Turkish F-16, cannot attack the Israeli F-16. And the skies of Turkey were controlled by the Petriots of the Germans and the Dutch. With all that it implies. There were also nuclear bombs for the Southern Front on Incirlik. Erdogan broke up with the EU to death, and a war almost broke out with Greece. Therefore, everything that Erdogan does is under the control of the Kremlin.

It is unwise to consider our commission on military-technical cooperation, consisting of very authoritative and competent people, which made the decision to sell the S-400 systems, whether to the Turks or the Chinese, as a bunch of alternatively gifted vocational schools who would sell their mother to the circus for a couple of dollars ...
        2. It is unwise to consider Erdogan, whose lower back, with the direct participation of Russia, was saved from rupture and other abuse and who at the moment has no one else to lean against in order to avoid a repetition of the situation with a threat to his lower back in the future, an inadequate impulsive and hysterical undersultan with protection in the BIOS with the idea of ​​restoring the Great Ottoman Empire and ready to do anything for this, even a military confrontation with Russia or Armenia.
        3. In the event of an attempt to use the S-400 against our aviation (no matter how successful or unsuccessful), Erdogan will not get off with tomatoes alone. Moreover, we will not need to do practically anything. It is enough to announce a break in relations and curtail all joint movers. Ps will very quickly gnaw his goat's face and send him to the dustbin of history (this is at best) or to the SA embassy for divorce.

              So far, losses are incurred by the Russian Federation - gas supplies have decreased by almost 30 percent. And you can forget about transit - the Bulgarians refused. And the gas pipeline will be built by Israel-Cyprus-Greece-Italy. Egypt also wants to join. In general, as Novak said at a conference of consumers and producers of LNG, the era of natural gas and, as a result, pipelines is coming to an end. The era of LNG is coming. And there may be problems - how to supply Russian gas to the south of Europe. The Turks will not let the gas carrier for 600 thousand cubic meters through the straits.

Secondly, the economy drives consumer goods, and the virus has also smothered consumer goods in consumption. Also, Turkish goods were boycotted by Armenia, Greece and Arab countries. Not an embargo, but a boycott by citizens, with the consent of the government, of course. It is extremely costly and risky to run a pipeline from Israel to the EU along kilometers of depth.

The caste that ruled Turkey for the last century, in such a situation, takes full control over itself and removes the civil, political cabinet. Plus Erdogan had previously ceased to suit them, like the West. RF undoubtedly pulled off the economic stranglehold, certainly admitted a blow. But the intelligence, apparently, received information about the preparations for the coup and Erdogan was saved. The elite of Turkey has undergone a revolutionary change comparable to the fall of Tsarism in RI. The hereditary, primarily military caste has been eliminated. The southern flank of NATO, where Turkey's role was decisive, also cracked. In the European theater, NATO was preparing to defend itself against the tank fist of the USSR, and in the South, a strike was being prepared into the underbelly of the USSR, using local peoples. After the collapse of the USSR, the Russian Federation in general became less protected in this direction. But a number of actions, including military ones, made it possible to defend the control of the Caucasus and have bridgeheads in the Transcaucasus. Therefore, we need Erdogan to destroy NATO and have already cracked their Southern Front. It is also now used against Pashinyan's magpie and the training of Armenia. And the S-400 makes it possible to repel an Israeli Air Force attack. Because American weapons, in particular the Turkish F-16, cannot attack the Israeli F-16. And the skies of Turkey were controlled by the Petriots of the Germans and the Dutch. With all that it implies. There were also nuclear bombs for the Southern Front on Incirlik. Erdogan broke up with the EU to death, and a war almost broke out with Greece. Therefore, everything that Erdogan does is under the control of the Kremlin.

    I agree with you that the game between Russia and Turkey is not an experiment or, just in case, why not, but let's try, but this is a firm and measured calculation of Putin, the Foreign Ministry and the Ministry of Defense. It is not yet known at whom Turkey was more offended - at Russia that she took Crimea from under Turkey's nose, or at the United States with its intelligence
    and its fleets and military bases in Turkey, which did not help, that Crimea would not go to Russia. Moreover -
    without firing a shot. Turkey will take revenge not on Russia, but on the United States for the fact that Crimea is again Russian
    and NATO. And why does not Russia use it as a wedge in NATO unity. And if now all steps of Erdogan are really controlled by Russia, so it drives Erdogan across Syria, Azerbaijan, along the coastal waters of Greece and the Middle East. And he will ride here and there, then again here ... And who needs then the geopolitical a horse, especially since she drove herself, rolling herself. What
    Pashinyan needs to be taught a lesson, as I have already written about this more than once.

    when approaching, the targets go to the zenith and self-destruct.

    Yeah. And the installation itself rolls up and leaves for Russia.

    Most likely there is a self-destruction of all the electronics of the S-400

    They made so much noise. And all the reason is that the rocket range is in synop. And with 400 for a possible war against Greece. They write a lot about the war between the Russian Federation and Turkey. And in Turkey, such a war is not mentioned at all. There are no unsolvable questions. With greece only

    Turkey is bankrupt; it will disintegrate into Kurdistan and other parts immediately after the November civil war in the United States and the global currency and debt crisis of the late 2020-early 2021. As for the S-400, the Turks have a stripped-down export version, which is carried out by Daggers or Iskander in a few minutes. Everything is calculated

    Is it true that the Turkey bought a stripped down version of the S-400? I would have thought that they would buy the newest best version of the S-400.

      They bought the most modern version of the C400. In my opinion, this is Putin's betrayal of the interests of my state.
