Turkey has signed a deal with Russia to arm its forces with Russian S-400 anti-aircraft missiles.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Turkey has signed a deal with Russia to buy S-400 missile defence systems in its first major weapons purchase from Moscow,\u00a0Turkish president confirmed.<\/p>\n

Turkey has already paid a deposit to Moscow to buy Russian S-400 missile systems, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said after his visit to Kazakhstan, the Hurriyet daily reported.<\/p>\n

“Our friends have already signed [a deal on] S-400s. A deposit has also been paid, as far as I know. The process will continue by the transfer of a credit from Russia to us. Both Mr. [Russian President Vladimir] Putin and myself, we are determined on this issue,” Erdogan told journalists.<\/p>\n

Russian President Vladimir Putin is personally interested in the supply of S-400 Triumph system to Turkey, Erdogan said, adding that Turkey has every right to ensure its own safety.<\/p>\n

It was earlier reported that Turkey would buy two S-400 Triumph systems for $2.5 billion.<\/p>\n

Vladimir Putin had said Moscow was ready to sell Ankara the S-400 Triumph system, but the issue of localization of the production in Turkey would depend on the readiness of the country\u2019s industry.<\/p>\n

Later, on July 25, Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that the two countries have already signed an agreement on the purchase of the S-400 Triumph system.<\/p>\n

Russia\u2019s S-400 Triumf is the latest long-range anti-aircraft missile system that went into service in 2007. It is designed to destroy aircraft, cruise and ballistic missiles, including medium-range missiles, and can also be used against ground objectives.<\/p>\n

Russia says the S-400 system has a range of 400km (248 miles) and can shoot down up to 80 targets simultaneously, aiming two missiles at each one.<\/p>\n
