Turks about testing the S-400 on the F-16: Now we understand why we need the Russian air defense system so much

54

In July 2020, the Turkish military conducted exercises at the Myrted air base near Ankara, during which they aimed their S-400 air defense systems at American F-16 fighters. This was regarded by the White House as a provocation, especially since the tests were carried out the day after negotiations between the presidents of Turkey and the United States. This is reported by the Turkish edition Haber7.

Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Jim Rush, in an interview with Defense News, stressed the decline in the level of cooperation between Washington and Ankara in recent years. This cooling was influenced by Turkey's purchase of S-400 complexes from Russia - according to Rush, this deal is beneficial to Putin and threatens the integrity of the North Atlantic Alliance.



This is how some Turkish readers reacted to this news:

The US itself threatens NATO - they must be removed from there

- says the user with the nickname "blue homeland".

Athens has the same missile systems, but they do not undermine the Alliance system. But we have better. We will also buy the S-500

- remarks Selami Uchar.

You only care about NATO interests, and who will handle Turkish affairs?

- Avshar is indignant.

And what else should we test air defense systems on - do we have other aircraft?

- the user with the nickname "humanity" asks logically.

What other planes should have been targeted (Greece has an F-16)? Now we understand why we need a Russian air defense system. We can declare the entire Mediterranean as an unmanned zone. The Russian Federation is not our friend, but threats come from the West as well. We don't have our own air defense systems yet - we have to buy from others

- such a comment is given by Akhmet.

I will not forget that the Russians made our 34 soldiers martyrs. It's better to be friends with the USA than with Moscow

- the user assumes "citizen".

Turkey is in NATO, but the main threat to us comes precisely from the countries of the Alliance. Look at Greece, Syria, Democratic Union. The threat is not Russia, but the United States. It is because of Washington that our country has lost more than 34 thousand people in the fight against terrorism

- this is the opinion of the user with the nickname "Chechen".

Well, have those who talk about the inactivation of the S-400 systems "eaten"?

- the user "alp" asks maliciously.

The United States sponsors terrorism and kills civilians. Don't worry, we'll test it on the F-35 too

- “calms down” Kirkdokuzelli.

Or maybe "by mistake" we take and shoot down an American plane? They can "accidentally" do it, and why can't we?

- makes a proposal from Afk.

Great news, I liked it

- the user "Iz Tokata" expresses his attitude to the tests of the S-400 on American aircraft.

        We are approaching a turbulent zone, a new redivision of the world, as soon as the United States is blown away or the showdown with China ends - who is more important; and there are rows of states with a bunch of grievances and problems unresolved and crushed by the United States.

          But the question begs itself - will the Russians have something to stock up on? Really, until now, you have not understood a simple, like 2 kopecks, truth - if the United States becomes bad, then Russia will become much worse.

            The Russians will have something to stock up on. Russia has a resource base of 3 world wars that will easily survive. Americans are weak. Some show-off. They will lose.
            But you would rather worry about yourself more.
            When the Russians start hitting the Americans, they (the Americans) will have no time for you. They will save the most precious thing they have - their asses. And then you will be left without a "dad behind your back." And you, your enemies (the Arabs are there, or whoever else - you've already got everyone there) will simply be ground to dust. And even if you survive, you will eat stones and seize them with sand. You have nothing else in your desert.

                I don't see any connection. You, apparently, are narrow-minded if you do not understand the difference between fraternal relations, where delicacy is needed, and the attitude of Russians towards the enemy, where there will be no more room for sentimentality. The Russians will flatten America as they flattened the Swedes, French and Germans.
                A war against Russia for destruction, my stupid interlocutor, this is not to show you figurines to sparrows.

Where people groan under the yoke of the Westerners, deprived of the opportunity to even speak their native language, in areas where the Zaporozhets' horse has never been lying for three hundred years ?!

                        Nonsense) Benchmarking is equally applicable both in production and absolutely in all other areas.

                        This is just a comparative analysis of any results for a certain measure (scale) of measurement.

                        In the same production, for example, when identifying the KTU of each employee of the group, a number of indicators are taken into account, from the direct productivity of the employee, for example, the amount of products produced for a certain time, as well as (but to an even greater extent) the social qualities of the employee: his , so to speak, compatibility with the team, which is very important, since well-coordinated teamwork automatically increases overall productivity.

                        It's the same here. Arranging the pros or cons, each actually expresses his opinion about the "necessity" of finding this or that "user" here.

                        Your disadvantages are a signal reflecting the attitude of other users towards you and your opinion. This is an objective indicator of the rejection of an element unnecessary to society.

                    All America swam with feces, choke. The collapse of the hegemon is obvious, the dollar has already collapsed

                    All - not all, but there were problems with the provision. 321 is definitely right.
                    The collapse of the hegemon is obvious - a matter of time.
                    The dollar is inside the United States - yes, you can say that. Its purchasing power within the country has declined greatly.
                    On the outside, it is clearly overrated.

                And before that, the citizens of the USSR, at the cost of their lives, saved your lives (worthless - as it turned out), freed you from Nazi concentration camps.
                Remind me how you, heroic soldiers, ended up in these concentration camps?
                The Nazis just stupidly walked through your houses, and sewed your six-pointed stars on each sleeve of your jacket, and then they gathered you according to these stars, and, like obedient rams, seated you in the heating houses, and took you to the barracks of concentration camps.

                  Jewish warriors fought on the fronts, and women, children and old people fell into concentration camps. And Russian neighbors handed them over to the Germans, the Nazis themselves did not know who was a Jew in the occupied city and who was not.

      The Turks have most likely tested the glazing from the F-35 for a long time already, even before the Russian systems. I'm just interested to ask the Israeli "partners": yours are still flying with lenses, disguising themselves as F-15s and civilian aircraft, or how? How do you answer yourself, stop worrying much about the American military-industrial complex, soon he will push the last contracts for the "penguin" and this "secret" will become uninteresting even to Aunt Fima with the laundry.

      The question is utterly stupid, why not ask yourself before asking: why the hell do that ?? Why would the F-35 disguise itself as the F-15, increasing its stealth by 1000 times, and then climb into the thick of the enemy's air defense with such an EPR ?! There are no such madmen and cannot be. And why disguise a stealth plane as a civilian plane? He will come from any direction, throw winged bombs and quietly go home unnoticed.

      As you answer yourself, stop worrying much about the American military-industrial complex, soon he will push the last contracts for the "penguin" and this "secret" will become uninteresting even to Aunt Fima with the laundry.

      Even if you don’t give Aunt Fima from the laundry the F-35 aircraft, but give it to the Sukhoi Design Bureau, it will still not be able to reproduce it at the level of the original. After all, it was 40 years for Soviet and then Russian intelligence officers to illegally familiarize themselves with all American stealth, to "scratch" all the necessary technologies - but why couldn’t reproduce anything like this and close ?? Because the necessary technological chains are absent in modern Russia. And when (and if) they will appear is unknown.
