Turkey has paid Russia in full for the supply of S-400 air defense systems and the contract is closed, said Sergei Chemezov the head of Russian state corporation "Rostec" which is responsible for the sale to Ankara.

“We have fulfilled the contract in full, it is closed, which means that we have shipped and received all the funds,” Chemezov told reporters in Moscow today, Interfax reported.

The price of the S-400 systems is $ 2.5 billion, part of the contract was issued on credit, Chemezov had said earlier. The first contract provides an option to supply Turkey with an additional batch of S-400.

This contract was unique because it was implemented in a NATO country. We are negotiating with Turkish partners on other equipment, there are prospects," Chemezov said.

"The ball is now in Turkey’s court, we are waiting for our partners to make decisions. Rosoboronexport maintains contact with Turkey, discussions on future cooperation are underway. We are also discussing the possibilities of producing components there," Chemezov said.

He pointed out that the S-400 systems involved complex technologies and it was impossible to start producing them from scratch. At the same time, there are prospects for Russian-Turkish defense cooperation in other areas.
