Negotiations for the sale of an additional battery of Russian S-400 Air Defense System (ADS) to Turkey are in the final stages.
Discussions between Russia’s arms export agency, Rosoboronexport and Turkey on the S-400 were held during the recent IDEF exhibition where the negotiations were brought to fruition, the head of Rosoboronexport Alexander Mikheev told reporters during the ARMY-2021 event.
“As for the S-400 complex, consultations are continuing. I think that it is already at the final stage, and in the near future we will begin with partners to formalize and sign a contract, “Mikheev told militarynews when enquired on the topic of a contract for the supply of an additional batch of S-400 air defense systems to Turkey.
In April, The U.S. State Department has notified Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act of 2017 (CAATSA) sanctions against Turkey’s Presidency of Defense Industries (SSB) and its senior leadership for Ankara’s purchase of Russian S-400 air defence systems.
