Erdogan Started Criticizing Russian Air Defense Systems526.06.2025, 16:05 7,300 Recep Tayyip ErdoganThe S-400s have shown their helplessness in Iran.Russia's S-400 missile systems cannot fully meet Turkey's need for air defense (air defense), the country's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said."Our society has realized this clearly in recent days [in connection with the war between Israel and Iran]. We need to create a multi-level air defense system," Erdogan said. He recalled the Steel Dome project, which combines multi-altitude air defense systems, sensors and electronic warfare. However, he emphasized that Turkey's progress so far remains "insufficient."Erdogan also noted the development of its own anti-aircraft missile systems - Siper, Korkut, Hisar and Sungur - which he said would not have been created if the country had been sitting "in its corner" and expecting to "buy weapons from someone else." In 2017, Turkey bought four S-400 divisions from Russia for $2.5 billion. At the time, Washington demanded that Ankara give up the Russian systems in favor of the US Patriot, but the latter did not agree. In response, the U.S. excluded Turkey from the program for the delivery of the latest F-35 fighter jets. In September 2021, Erdogan said that Ankara intended to purchase a second batch of S-400s. Ankara later clarified that it was ready to purchase missile systems from other countries if they were similar to Russian missile systems in terms of their characteristics.PATREONSupport the website Write your comment 5 You can support the website Charter97.orgMULTI-CURRENCY ACCOUNT FOR ASSISTANCE:Bank's name: Bank Millennium S.A.Address: ul.
