It's very difficult for Turkey and India to align with US dictate on S-400 issue, US concerns on F-35 don't hold water – Pakistan, Indian military experts
A launching vehicle of the S-400 Triumf anti-aircraft weapon system makes its way during a dress rehearsal of a 2018 military parade in Moscow.
A US government official on Monday warned against purchase of the Russian equipment while speaking to Indian journalists in Washington ahead of an expected visit by US Secretary of State Michael Pompeo to New Delhi as part of preparations to arrange a meeting between US President Donald Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the sidelines of the G-20 summit in Japan later this week.
"My back up on calculation is that S-400 is superior than any other system, be that the American Patriot. It also depends on Patriot derivate that is on offer. For S-400, we know exactly what it means. We are not sure when Americans talk to us about Patriots. It has been used in the Gulf war and upgraded subsequently. But as far as the configuration, we know, it is not superior to S-400.
He reminded that as NATO allies, Turkey and the US are already committed to the Communications Compatibility and Security Agreement , which secures the US military equipment. India also signed this agreement last September after the conclusion of a meeting between the foreign and defense ministers of both countries in New Delhi.
