ANKARA (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 16th October, 2019) The last stage of Russia's deliveries of S-400 air defense systems to Turkey is expected to be completed in November-December, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has announced.
"We have purchased the S-400s ... Deliveries are already being carried out. The last stage will be in December, or maybe even in November. We are no longer in a hopeless situation. Everything we need, we'll buy wherever we want," Erdogan told journalists on Tuesday, as broadcast on Turkish national television.
Turkey's agreement with Russia on the purchase of S-400 air defense systems has been strongly criticized by NATO and the United States, which have cited security concerns over the S-400's incompatibility with NATO's air defense systems.
Washington announced in July its decision to suspend Turkey's participation in the F-35 international program over its purchase of the S-400s, adding that the country would be completely removed from the project by late March 2020.
