ANKARA - Turkish Defense Minister Noureddine Ganikli said on Wednesday that his country had made offers to procure US "Patriot" missile defense system.
This came during his answer to the questions of MPs in a meeting to discuss the budget of the Ministry of Defense in Parliament.
The Turkish minister added that Ankara had agreed to "buy the S-400 (Russian) missile system. On the other hand, we started working with Eurosam (a French-Italian company) to develop systems with the same characteristics, and in parallel we made offers to procure Patriot."
Ganikli pointed out that there are efforts to make Turkey and the rest of the countries of the region up for grabs, and added: "This situation put Turkey in front of significant security risks." In this regard, he stressed the importance of increasing the resources allocated to the defense, stressing that it is inevitable.
Control of the S-400 missile defense system would be entirely in Turkey's hands.
In response to a question about the deployment of the S-400, the Turkish minister said, "We will deploy it wherever we need it." He pointed out that the system "S 400" will not meet all the needs of Turkey, because of the length of the border and the expansion of areas threatened. Earlier in the day, Ganikli explained that his country plans to receive the first "S 400"system, in 2019.
He said, "the deal signed with Russia to supply the S-400 missile system will be under the contract to provide two systems."
It is noteworthy that the ministries of defense of Turkey, France and Italy signed, on the eighth of this month, a "declaration of intent" on strengthening cooperation in the manufacture of missile defense systems between the three countries. Under the agreement, Eurosam and Turkish companies will begin work on a system based on the European Air Defense System (SAMP-T) to identify common needs among the three countries.
The agreement also aims to cooperate in the field of military electronic systems, software and communication equipment, and to enhance cooperation in the field of air defense systems and missile technology cooperation.

If US attacks we use S-400 and if Russia attacks we use Patriot.
Then we use Eurosam.
I think they negotiate with US about patriot for fak them shut up probably we wont buy that rubbish system.
Turkey might purchase second-hand patriots from Spain, lets see what happens..
Americans are crazy if they think we would buy patriot. Look what Poland have to pay, freaky 10 billion dollars for patriot not Thaad or SM3. To expensive we are not petrol rich country.
I got curious so I tried googling and got this article.

hm... all I can say is that the polish seem to be more aware of what they want compared to Turkey. Who goes for different systems in a stand-alone concept. It's either because we're going to build our own IBCS system, or we haven't gotten there yet.
All i can say is you are not aware what Turkey wants. 10 billion for a SAM system is over kill, and that beside you are in the mercy of another country. We want do wtf we want to do with that, they can ambargo you when they decide. Americans are expensive beside that they don't want to give ToT. We want ToT and we are not stupid to pay a high price for patriot.
There are discounts for Poland. Poland is the US castle in Europe and USAs Trojan Horse in EU. In WW2 Poland proofed its loyalty with Anglosaxon axis. Many pilots and SpecOps were fighting for the TommiesIt says 8 Patriot batteries in the article for 10 billion. I thought the patriot went for around 2 billion a battery.
Russian missiles intercepted 3 of 5 missiles fired from Israeli fighter planes.
That's a great success and proof of effectivity.
You think 60% Hit rate is a great success?
