What fantasy land do you live in?

Russia is transferring its own S-400s to Turkey? Any proof aside of this nonsense? Why would Russia grab its own, non-export modified AD backbone and give it to Turkey so they can establish a no fly-zone over a country Russia supports?

This is the latest out of Russia. They are decided on the contract in general, but the credit question remains. That is right, Turkey wants a credit like (right now, lol,) to buy the system.
Needless to say no massive ToT is on the table either.

TR1, I said “some Turkish media” and specified that the information was not yet confirmed. Before jumping up and down and speculating as to it being rubbish wait for the Contract details to be released. You might be surprised.

P.S. Requesting a FMS type credit does not mean you do not have the funds to purchase a system. It means you spread out the cost of such system over several budgets.

With regards to ToT, had what you said been true Turkey would not have purchased the S400 and opted for the Chinese knockoff. Putin has clearly stated ToT.

Turkish media reporting that Russia and Turkey have reached agreement on Turkey’s acquisition of S-400 systems. Turkey has requested urgent delivery in light of the situation in Syria. Russia has allegedly agreed to transfer a few systems from its own inventory due to Turkey’s urgent requirements. The deal also involves technology transfer and the systems will be integrated into Turkey’s own Weapons Network independent of NATO.

This means that Turkey can now impose its own no-fly zone in Syria in Operation Euphrates Shield zones.

Haavarla, I am merely reproducing here what I have heard from reputable sources so that we can have near real-time updates on the situation in Syria and the broader Middle East. For me to be engaging in a nationalistic pissing contest I need to be making outlandish statements without citing reputable media sources. Unfortunately alliances are changing like quicksand now and the situation in Syria is very fluid.

Believe me Europe doesn’t. A Turkey closer to the Western camp can be controlled more easily than a Turkey in the Eastern camp.

All important oil and gas lines from the Middle East & Central Asia to Europe transverse or will transverse Turkish territory. Turkey determines whether Russia’s Black Sea Fleet enters the Mediterranean or not.

The good news is that Turkey and the United Kingdom signed a Defence pact independent of NATO back in 2010. Hence, the United Kingdom knew that Turkey was mulling a withdrawal from NATO.

And Turkey drops the “bombshell”….

Turkey announces that it is reviewing its membership in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in response to “one of its NATO “allies” arming a terrorist group that is waging a war in Turkey”. The Turkish President stated: “Those so-called friends don’t see any issue walking along with terror organisations who want to divide Turkey,”: See http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/06/26/turkeys-erdogan-calls-review-nato-us-arming-kurds-fighting-isil/

What implications if any would Turkey’s exit from NATO have on Europe in light of the fact that Turkey controls the Bosporus Strait (entry and exit into the Black Sea) and soon the Istanbul Canal (which is solely under Turkish Sovereignty- i.e. Montreux Convention Regarding the Regime of the Straits is a 1936 does not apply)???

Russia and Turkey are planning a massive assault on Idlib province. Both Turkish and Russian Armed Forces have been mobilizing near Idlib last night.

Reports on livemap that the US is moving soldiers to Manbij to counter Russian and Turkish moves. It looks like there is a very high risk of two NATO ‘allies’ engaging each other in Syria.

I think it is also prudent for me to mention that Turkey also produces single crustal superalloys for Turbofan engines as well.

Tubitak-MAM Materials Institute conducts research and development in this area which it then transfers to Turkish companies.

@Andraxxus whilst what you say may be correct with regards to production of the F110 for the Peace Onyx I, Peace Onyx II, Peace Onyx III programs this definitely was not the case for Peace Onyx IV. They were total licence builds.

But I do agree that it is a moot point because Turkey does indeed have turbo-fan technology. Development of the TEI TJ-90 turbojet engine proves this in any event. Does it have the technology? Yes, Is such technology at the level of its Western counterparts? No
