Russia in talks to sell Turkey air defense systems, company confirms

MOSCOW - Russia is in talks with NATO member Turkey about selling Ankara state-of-the-art S-400 air defense systems, Russian state arms export firm Rosoboronexport said Wednesday.

"The discussions were about arms cooperation and S-400 systems in particular," Rosoboronexport spokesman Vyacheslav Davydenko told AFP, confirming a report about the talks.
The S-400 is Russia’s most advanced air defense system and has previously not been exported, according to Rosoboronexport.
It has a longer range than U.S.-built Patriot missiles and a previous Russian system, the S-300.
Moscow has a contract to supply S-300s to Iran, but the deal is on hold, reflecting tension around the Islamic Republic and objections from Israel and the United States.
The RIA-Novosti news agency reported earlier that Turkish and Russian defense officials discussed the possible sale of S-400s at the International Defense Industry Fair in Istanbul.
Sources in the Russian delegation said the sale would depend on the resolution of a dispute between Moscow and the West over a planned U.S. missile shield in Eastern Europe, RIA-Novosti reported.
The S-400 has a range of 400 kilometers (250 miles) and is capable of taking out radar-resistant Stealth aircraft and other advanced targets, according to the Web site of its manufacturer, Almaz-Antey.
Turkey, a traditional rival of Russia, has long bought many of its weapons from the United States.

Do you really think Russia will ever give S-400 to you?

 

[Neptune]

Do you really think Russia will ever give S-400 to you?

In current crisis between Russia and West yes. Do you really think we give a crap about it. No.

 

[[TR]AHMET]

We should select S-400 then focus on Hisar U for remaining needs. Better if we getting close with Russia.

 

[Vatoz]

I will pick alternative #2

There is to much risk with the Chinese system.

[xenon54 out]

They withdraw their S-300 offer just to come up with something better.

Well, i say if a non NATO equipment then only with ToT which would be Chinese system in this case.

good new for turkey

 

[Zhukov]

S400 in NATO????!!!!!!
Capitalism is funny

 

[HariPrasad]

S 400 is really a deadly system. Nothing can come close.

 

[usernameless]

Seems Turkey shows the finger to Nato (US) and is serious about a possible non-Nato system, be it the Chinese or the Russian one. however there is no mention of ToT while this was a crucial criteria, meaning Turkey uses such talks to put pressure on western counterparts to improve their offer or they are seriously interested to buy s-400 as a short/medium term solution while working on its own indigenous system. we shall see what will come of it.

 

[Some1LikeU]

If I am not wrong S-500 will be operational in 2016 that why Russia accepts the selling of S-400 system. I think it will be S-400 export version ; )

 

[Hasbara Buster]

If I were Russia, I would sell S-400 to all the enemies of Washington.

 

[ANMDT]

Capitalism is funny

Greece has S-300 already and in NATO
