FN: Turkey could provide Americans with access to S-400 complexes

5

A year ago, Russia sold Turkey anti-missile systems S-400, which caused US discontent. There is evidence that the United States has gained access to Russian air defense systems. This writes the correspondent of the American edition Freenews.

Donald Trump paid a visit to Ankara to convince Erdogan to abandon the deal with Russia, but in vain. After that, the United States stopped supplying F-35 fighters to Turkey, which was a very painful decision for the republic: the F-35 was supposed to be used on a new aircraft carrier (helicopter carrier), which was to become the flagship of the Turkish fleet.



Although Erdogan did not give up Russian weapons, there is evidence that Turkey provided Americans with access to S-400 elements. This, as FreeNews point out, is not entirely honest with partners from Russia. American experts can study the anti-aircraft missile system in detail, which will allow them to counter Russian systems in the future, if necessary.

However, the Russians will soon have an even more advanced air defense system, which received the name S-500. Now, even if US military experts are researching the Russian S-400, it will not hit Russia’s defense.

      It’s crazy to trade weapons, all the more modern. Weapons should only stand guard over the homeland and period. And to sell only decommissioned junk, not even prior to the generation, but still old. And to trade with countries that are potential enemies, they have been throughout the well-known historical period, countries whose leaders easily change their shoes in the air are not even madness, but stupidly greed, mediocrity, and possibly betrayal.

        I completely agree with this, but I want to note that effective managers, for whom there is nothing sacred, have entrenched in our defense industry complex. For them, the concept of homeland is just an empty phrase, they are ready to sell their mother for money, not to mention our latest weapons and our national interests. It is necessary to drive them to the neck from the defense industry complex before it is too late !!!

      FN: Turkey could provide Americans with access to S-400 complexes

      It would be necessary to edit, or rather it would be:

      Turkey could not give Americans access to the complexes ....
