The United States & Turkey are now at loggerhead as first components of the Russian S-400 missile defense system have started reaching Turkey from 12 July.
The delivery is taking place as planned and will see more consignments reaching Turkey in the coming days.

Turkey’s defense ministry tweeted a photo of the Russian transport plane carrying the air defense hardware at the airbase on the outskirts of Ankara and stated: “The 12th plane landed at the Mürted Airbase.”

Viewers may note that Turkey’s President Erdogan had said on July 15 that all S-400 defense missiles will be deployed by April 2020.



It is reported that the U.S. acting defense secretary, Mark Esper, spoke had a discussion with his Turkish counterpart, Hulusi Akar, by phone.
The details of the conversation have not been divulged by the Pentagon.

However, Turkish Defense Ministry said that “[He] told his U.S. counterpart that Turkey remains under a serious air and missile threat and that purchase of S-400 defense systems was not an option but rather a necessity."


The U.S. House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee stated that Turkey’s President Erdogan "was given a very clear choice. Unfortunately, he has clearly made the wrong one," referring to the U.S. offer to sell Turkey the U.S.-made Patriot missile system instead.



US President Donald Trump indicated on Tuesday the US will not sell Turkey F-35 fighter jets.
Trump told reporters during a Cabinet meeting at the White House, "It's a very tough situation that they're in. And it's a very tough situation that we've been placed in the United States,"
It is not clear as of now if the U.S will impose sanctions on Turkey.

Let’s get into the details.
