“In case of a conflict between Turkey and Israel, NATO can block its air defense systems”

The reasons why Turkey chose the Chinese air defense systems over the Russian C-300 and the American Patriot were told by the Kommersant correspondent OLGA KUZNETSOVA by the President of the Center for Strategic Studies Bilgesam ATILLA SANDYKLY.

- What are the advantages of the Chinese Hongzi-9 air defense systems over the American Patriot and the Russian C-300?

- The systems "Hongzi-9", which Turkey plans to produce jointly with China, differ from the American Patriot and the Russian C-300. Hongzi-9 is able to detect and destroy missiles unrecognizable by radars.

- Are there any other reasons why Ankara chose the Chinese supplier?

- There are several reasons. To a large extent this is a political decision. Before that, Turkey had already tried to buy systems with similar characteristics from the United States, but the attempts were unsuccessful - Congress opposed the sale. In addition, Turkey wanted to acquire from the United States Drones Predators, but again did not receive the consent of Congress. Logically, this time Turkey chose another exporter instead of waiting for US approval.

- And economically?

- There are two points. First, Hongzi-9 is significantly cheaper than other air defense systems that participated in the tender. Secondly, the production organization proposed by China is beneficial for Turkey. 40% of products will be produced directly in Turkey with the participation of Turkish companies Roketsan and Aselsan. Due to the fact that the Chinese have agreed to the transfer of technology, Turkish companies will gain experience working with satellite launch systems - this will reduce Turkey’s dependence on other countries.

- Will Chinese air defense systems fully meet the needs of national security?

- The choice in favor of the Chinese complexes just meets these needs. Using NATO's air defense systems, Turkey may face certain restrictions - especially against the background of the deterioration of its relations with Israel. In the event of a conflict with it, NATO can remotely block access to its air defense missile systems. Therefore, Ankara chose the air defense system, which can be used in accordance with its own notions of security and does not depend on anyone.

- In the West, Ankara’s reaction was extremely negative. Is it fraught with problems for Turkey?

“Problems can arise if the United States and NATO insist on the incompatibility of“ Huntsi-9 ”with NATO’s collective defense systems. But it is easy to overcome by developing the necessary software. Another problem is that the Chinese exporter is under US sanctions for cooperating with Iran and North Korea. But these sanctions are one-sided, there are no provisions in international law that would prevent Turkey from purchasing Chinese air defense systems.

- Is Ankara's decision to make a deal with Beijing final?

- No, until the parties have moved to the deal itself. The Turkish authorities may reconsider China’s proposal.

Erdogan lives on the dream of recreating the Ottoman Empire, it shows through all of his projects to localize military production in Turkish territory. And I must admit he succeeds well.

[mirag2]

It’s not bad to dream. What does he manage to do? He didn’t expand the territory, he didn’t connect peoples, even with Kurds he began to establish relations, and then back ...
Erdogan’s soup is a bit tough.
And the military production, so from the First World War, the Turks were Germanophiles, and the Germans arranged for them to manufacture their Mercedes, and so on.

What for? Erdogan himself is trying to do this ...

[domokl]

Dreams are not to expand and increase, but to prevent some kind of spring out of the blue. But the main thing in the article is not this, just read it again. The main thing is that for Americans, oh for Europeans in NATO ( ) Little Israel is much more important than a member in the form of Turkey. Erdogan just realized that membership does not so much give advantages as it puts the decisions of the government and the president under the control of third countries. And that means there are no democratic values ​​and other democratic values ​​in the future.
It seems to me that this is just a way to somehow conduct an independent foreign policy.

[matross]

Quote: domokl

Erdogan just realized that membership is not so much

Quote: domokl

how much does

That's so true!
Erdogan, in contrast to the Euro-dwarfs huddling under the hem of Germany, France and Britain, can and with the nat and integrate, if that. And start your game in alliance with the Chinese, at least even with Russia. Or try to become the new Ottoman Empire (although who will allow him, an eccentric). Turkey is now the trump card that literally everyone wants to play ... Hence the unrest in Istanbul and the Chinese missiles and flirting with the Kurds.

[Nitup]

Quote: matRoss

Apparently, in the West, Erdogan is promised to be allowed to do this in exchange for certain actions by Turkey. They will deceive, of course, but maybe Erdogan will outplay them. Politics is like that.

[Ezhaak]

Quote: domokl

for Americans, oh for Europeans in NATO () is much more important small Israel than a member in the form of Turkey

And this is a very true remark. Americans and other NATO members are completely unaware of where Turkey’s head will turn tomorrow, but little Israel, though smelly, is always on the side of the Amers. The reason is well known.

[duke]

a curious phrase about a possible conflict with Israel ... and on whose side will NATO be if Turkey is part of this organization? It seems not so simple. In addition, they do not have a common border, so what is Erdogan going to eat Syria and go to the borders of Israel ??? Otherwise, they can act against Israel only from the sea and from the air. It is clear that all these lands were once part of Ottoman Empire 1, but so frankly ... If so, then the new Ottomans will not stop in Syria, who is next ??? If a conflict arises, even powerful Israel will have a tough time, the Americans will have to call and recognize the independence of Kurdistan, and possibly support the soul of Assad ... Now it’s clear why Babama began to flirt with Iran - it seems to be looking for balances. The development of events is also interesting, given the fact that the Saudis are building a caliphate, the Turks will not fall under them, because they also consider their lands to be their own, once they were part of Osmania 1, which means that conflict is inevitable, because no one will yield - price - domination in the Sunni world ...

[Aryan]

but the topic of why they did not take the s-300, the author of the article did not disclose ...

[ayyildiz]

Turkey chose the Chinese-designed HQ-9 anti-aircraft missile systems following the T-Loramids tender for several reasons. This, according to Jane's, said the head of the Secretariat of the Defense Industry (SSM) of Turkey, Murad Bayar. According to him, the most important of them was the lowest cost - the Chinese company CPMIEC offered to supply 12 divisions of anti-aircraft systems for $ 3,044 billion.
In addition, according to the Chinese proposal, the degree of localization of production of HQ-9, which is an altered copy of Russian C-300P, in Turkey will exceed 50 percent. The Chinese side also promised to start production and supply of anti-aircraft systems in the shortest possible time. At the same time, there will be no difficulties with integrating the systems into the Turkish air defense system and interfacing them with the NATO air defense system.
According to Bayar, Turkey’s air defense system complies with NATO standards and is closely integrated with the North Atlantic Alliance air defense system. Chinese systems can be connected to the Turkish air defense system and through it interact with NATO air defense, meeting all the necessary requirements. The leak of secret information, which the United States and the NATO leadership fear, will not happen.

Bayard did not disclose the reasons for excluding the S-300 from the competition. Sources in the Turkish military-industrial complex told Jane's that the reason for the exclusion of Rosoboroneskport from the tender was the high cost of the proposal ($ 4,5 billion) and the absence of significant investment and offset proposals. Such proposals were considered joint production and development, as well as investments in the Turkish economy.

[Ezhaak]

Quote: Aryan

why didn’t they take s-300?

expensive and there will be no localization. And hedgehog understand!

[abrakadabre]

and there will be no localization
Gygs, that is, buttons and toggle switches will not be in Turkish

The Chinese are more flexible ... they even localize and adapt to the level of the buyer in Zulu - they will sell a shed in the form of C300 with slingshots on the shelves

[mirag2]

Strange. Something I did not notice anything about the conflict between Turkey and Israel.
Hypothetically, the deterioration of relations, I do not agree. Moreover, more recently, they have been getting closer and closer, albeit at a snail's pace.
Obviously, the last exacerbation after the Jews defeated the Turkish flotilla of aid for the Palestinians, they managed to resolve the dispute over a gas field near Cyprus.
And for the flotilla, Israel apologized not so long ago ...

Strange. Something I did not notice anything about the conflict between Turkey and Israel.

Nothing strange. The flotilla is only the visible part of the iceberg. The main thing is under water. Turkey imposes rather stringent conditions on Israel in case of military operations in Syria, Turkey does not agree to use its airfields, its territory, its soldiers.
It is extremely important for the Americans to have Turkey as their allies for Israel. There are no other large states in the region. Is Iran an ally?

[duke]

So Turkey is also that ally, as time has shown ...

[bomg.77]

The Turks also started kicking! I think in Turkey it is worth waiting for the continuation of the uprising in the square, the so-called "liberal" forces.

[mirag2]

So after all, they seemed to be hanging around all summer ...
And the Turks do not consider themselves Western vassals, and in politics they are quite independent and courageous.
They don’t take them to the EU, but how did they tear them up! They did everything for this. And also with these systems they didn’t sell what they wanted — well, hey with you — we’ll buy from the Chinese. Not so boldly (so that buy from us the S-300 gut thin-too obvious confrontation with NATO) -but still ...

[Andrey57]

So we didn’t buy C-300 for the same reason - ours can be blocked via satellite in the same way, but this isn’t for the Turks and the stories about the fact that Chinese systems stripped from ours see something that they don’t see three hundred are very funny

Maybe the Turks would be happy to buy our systems, but they understand that relations with the West are strained only while Putin is in power. If he is replaced by another liberal, then in the event of a conflict with Israel or even with the United States (who knows, today he’s friends and tomorrow ...) Russia may also block its systems. And in China, the political system is more stable and predictable, so the Turks decided to buy Chinese complexes

[abrakadabre]

the Thai systems, stripped from ours, see something that they don’t see three hundred - well, it’s very funny

When developing military equipment in China, advisers and design bureaus from Russia and Ukraine participate, plus many prototypes of the USSR leaked there - there is nothing to be surprised at; they themselves help them become more powerful and more technologically advanced.

A good article fully reflects the entire political aspect and ambitions of Turkey to create a great Ottoman Empire. But there is a fly in the ointment. Not for this, the United States dragged Turkey to Nato so that it would buy S-300 from China, it could dictate the conditions of the United States. I was struck one fact in the article where it says that China handed over documentation for the production of these complexes. That is, bypassing Russia, he sold Russian intellectual property as his own. And the second, taking advantage of the friendly attitude of Russia, he transferred these complexes to a potential enemy of the Russian Federation.
Well, what the states want or not is all behind the scenes games that are not intended for mortals for us. Why do I say members of the NATO countries included in the collective security treaty according to the rule should all be adjusted to the NATO standard, including weapons.

Apparently, the following is meant:

The Type-120 low-flying target detection radar is designed to detect and measure target coordinates at low altitudes in a complex jamming environment, including cruise missiles with small reflective surfaces.

Type-120 is part of the complex.
Of course, the Chinese greatly surprised everyone, apparently. However, given the fact that their development is a replica of our S-300PMU-1 and

Type 120 radar performs the same role as the low-altitude detector 76N6 of the S-300PMU-1 complex.

The winner of the Chinese complex is a clone of the Russian S-300 system, which makes the situation with this tender unpleasant for the Russian Federation. Need to draw conclusions! Now China is ready to purchase S-400. . They have new technological equipment and production discipline at their best.
By the way, Chinese complexes are limited in capabilities and depend on the supply of parts from Russia, they themselves do not hide it. The Chinese have problems with solid-fuel engines, which affects the speed of the HQ-9 missiles.
PS If the Russian proposal (Antey-2500) is chosen, the Russian side will undertake the obligations of joint production of a new generation anti-aircraft missile system for the needs of the Turkish armed forces ...

And on account of the "great" confrontation between Turkey and Israel, there is nothing to say, there are no common borders and are not foreseen.

This is not politics, but simple and reasonable pragmatism. Turkey during the conflict in Cyprus very toughly stepped on the rake of NATO. Therefore, the Turkish military is primarily concerned about technological independence and is buying military technology.
For almost 5 years, Turkey has announced a tender for the acquisition of a long-range air defense system with the condition of technology transfer. But neither the United States nor Russia agreed to this. Now China agreed. I think in 2-3 years the Turkish air defense systems will be no worse than the Chinese.
