Strait Talk: Russia’s sale of S-400 to Turkey is making the US uncomfortable. Why?

For a year now, Ankara has been negotiating with Moscow to the S-400 surface-to-air missile defense system. A deal that’s raising eyebrows among its allies, Aishe Jamal explains.

Turkey is located in a dangerous neighborhood with danger spilling over into its borders. That’s why Turkey needs its most capable defenses. Despite being the second largest army in the #NATO, Turkey doesn’t have its own #AirDefense system.

For a year now, Ankara has been negotiating with Moscow to the $S400 surface-to-air missile defense system.

Greece has S300 system..why not bothering U.S?...

Thank you for summarizing this issue so clearly. Such that even the biggest bigot would justify Turkey's choice. An "ally" not sharing know-how, while the "enemy" shares, makes me wonder who is the real ally and the real enemy.

[Rebellerz]

I love both Turkey and Russia, Indonesia support you

[edward-summers]

Us is not happy Turkey is abandoning its traditional friends. We all see what's going on here. But anyway.
Turkey has experienced how its traditional friends treated itself, now Usa should learn how to treat its friends first before asking for a certain treatment of friendship.

Stop crying US your days are over, you are falling into pieces all over.

The good news is, Turkey has already committed to building it's own military armaments without depending on others, this is called smart boy.

[videomaniac]

If the S-400 is such a super-duper air defense system then why did Ergodan recently make a request to the US for permission to buy two Patriot air defense batteries to be used on its southern border with Syria?

[tnix]

They don't have a capable equivalent of the S400. Patriot has a terrible track record.

[azmolrafi]

Turkey is doing the right thing... protecting motherland comes first.
Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩

[Bobby-lvkr]

Because Turkey will be able to test F-35 against S-400 and that will further expose the vulnerabilities of F-35 not good for USA

[TheYavy]

Turkey gets the technology and fills every city with S400s lol nice job
