Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan confirmed on Friday that Turkey had been testing the S-400 air defence systems that it bought from Russia and said U.S. objections on the issue did not matter.

Washington says Ankara’s purchase of the Russian systems compromises NATO defences, and has threatened sanctions. An apparent firing test of S-400s test last week prompted a furious response from the U.S. State Department and the Pentagon.

The two NATO allies have long been at odds over the S-400s and Washington reacted last year by suspending Turkey from its F-35 jet programme. Turkish officials have said the systems will not be integrated into NATO’s defence infrastructure. Erdogan said Turkey will continue testing military equipment including light, medium and heavy weapons, including many bought from the United States.

Turkey has right to own any system it wants. The Pentagon should halt its support to PKK/YPG [SDF] terror organization who has a goal to create a terror state against Turkey.

Nobody but Reuters/our Western corporate press propagandists care about the US whining. The first buyer of US weapons is the nauseating dictatorship of Saudi Arabia, with this said they should STFU because they certainly don't have any moral high ground on this (or anything rly)

Somebody desperately needs a pretext IOT to cover up entire economic mismanagement and persuade voters in the country that “foreign powers” causes usdtry presumably to worsen in the next few months..😉

Imagine a world where the European Union allowed Turkey to join many many years ago.

Turkiye tested S400 , greece has been USING S300 for years?!!

ABD ikiyüzlü politika izliyor Yunanistan da S 300 var

What's wrong with the world? What's wrong with America? After all we have done for the world, these countries are betraying us!

Turkey has the strength to always look for the right

StopErdoganaggression

Turkey did not give the cause when the US air defense system or ask other NATO countries? Why Greece will defend the right is doing .Türki waywardness and I invite everyone to the understanding of justice

This is the side effect a bad decision by US

Weren’t we supposed to get tired of winning all the time with Trump?

Why are they still part of NATO? Turkey has no allegiance to Nato or USA. The day it suits them they will stab us in the back. They already are. SanctionAzerbaijan

Imagine the possibility of NATO having to target a fellow member's air defense system.

Under Trump, the U.S. has no respect, no credibility on the global stage.

FUCK THE EU SANCTIONS, GREET THE LEADER OF ISLAMIC AREAS

Greece is using the S300 before Turkey and we haven't seen any criticism from NATO

Oeps.

How rich! Turkey says🖕🏾to trump. Wouldn’t have happened if a certain woman had been elected. But you didn’t hear that shit from me.

Turkey should never have the F-35, following the purchase of Russia's S-400.

And he added that they have no obligation to inform US for this kind of procedures.

The results of their actions, I’m anticipating actions from NATO and sanctions from the US , further devalue the currency.

Why Russia helps Erdogan monster !!!

🇹🇷

And NOTHING from trump. PutinsPuppet

I remember a time not so long ago that we kept nuclear weapons in Turkey. Christ.
