Aren't the Russians a bit short sighted to be supplying their latest and greatest systems to the one NATO member state they're most likely to have a beef with?

Or are they hoping that sultan Erdogan is going to realign his country closer to Russia?

>>33715923
They more than likely gave them some rigged ones where they can easily bypass if needed.

What, so russian planes can be shot down with their own missiles?

Well, their allies basically cancelled every weapons deal with them (Germans even declined to sell them ammunition) and have borderline broken military ties with them at this point, so only Ivan is crazy enough to sell them anything.

If you want an up do date strategic SAM system who else can you go to, bar China?

NATO doesn't have a parallel system because they don't see a need for it.

>>33716165
There are 13 countries who use Patriot. More who have US systems deployed in thier countries. There are 3 countries who have THAAD with more that have US systems deployed in their countries.

>>33715938
Very allegedly, but this is what the UK did when they sold Turkey Rapier systems.

>>33715895
NATO BTFO!

Geopolitical restructuring is on the horizon.

>>33715895
>russia selling their best and latest to a NATO country that has military cooperation with both USA and Israel
Desperate for cash?
Retarded beyond human comprehension?
Injected krokodil into the skull?
With russia all three are possible.

>>33715895

They need money to repaint their carrier

>NATO country buys S-400
>US spooks crawl up its butthole to see how it works
>S-400 now useless against American planes
>Russia is now selling countries SAMs only useful against its own planes, chinkshit, and legacy arsenals like the Greeks

They lost the cold war for a reason

I know some posters like to joke about Russia but their SAMs are the best in the business. It's an obvious no brainer.

The Joint Chiefs of Staff hate Erdogan and have done everything to sabotage him, but the civilian government in the White House sucks Turkish dick for some reason.

The military probably blocked any attempts Turkey made to acquire the THAAD.

>>33717043
Not anymore, now that they sold it to a NATO country, that thing is gonna be picked apart to learn its secrets. Expect a real big drop in russian SAM kills

>>33715923
the pros of controlling airspace of a nato member outweighs the cons of selling equipment to potential adversary. if the radars come with hidden backdoors the russians will be able to gather intel on RCS signatures of all aircraft deep wihin foreign airspace, far from their own territory.

besides, anything that makes turkey more dependant on russian tech makes it less dependant on the u.s. its a form political leverage on your client and a mean of asserting yourself as a go-to in the region. russia supplied both sides of nagorno-karabach conflict and has now established itself as a guarantor of peace on caucasus by mediating ceasefires between the two

>>33715923
Russia is so strapped for cash they'll probably sell to anyone.

>>33715895
>Turkey to buy S-400

Well now we know it definitely dies not work.

>>33716914

Despite that spat, Turkey has every reason to be friendly with Putin.

Turkey is essentially on both sides of the NATO-Russia confrontations.

Turkey is like house Frey.

>>33716932
>turkey
>about to buy F-35
>leave NATO
Vatnik stupidity at its finest.
All that will happen is that the US will squeeze every secret out of the radars and missiles, tailor ECM to deal with them and prepare for another two decades of vatniks squealing about "monkey models" as they shit all over russias best defenses.

>>33715909
I do not understand this actually. How does US mess it up so much? Look at Iraq, the government US put in place hates US with passion.

>>33716165
How is S400 significantly better than medium long range air defense US has?

>>33717886
The US already has the full specs of the S-400 because it started as a joint South Korean/Russian project. No doubt they already have it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KM-SAM

looks like the s-400 is outdated according to russia

Western sanctions crippled Russia so hard that they selling their top missile systems to NATO country.

US didn't even need guns or nukes to take them down.

>>33717026
Sorry to break it to you anon, but the USAF have owned multiple S-400 systems for quite a while specifically to take them apart. We've literally had our jets training against real S-400s before.

>>33715895
This piece of junk doesn't even work. Why are they doing this?

>>33720336
Russia already has the S-500. S-400 is Jurassic in comparison.

>Russia's face when they sell Turkey spiked S-400 suites that intentionally self destruct when targeting Russian squawking aircraft.

>>33720540

lolno

>>33721532
Vatniks are so delusional.

>>33721532
>squawking during a conflict
Have fun dying.

>>33721654
>Your enemy uses your known spiked system as air defense.
>Catch lock, bawk bawk.
>Not die.

>>33721569
Not a Vatnik you shitposting nigger, just theorizing.

>>33721670
You theorize like a 12 year old.
The Rooks probably know the channels, modes, pseudorandom patterns and the radiated power. That's how they counter it

>>33721681
Radiated power and modes available are on the sales pamphlet you holier than thou turbofaggot.

Why would we sell rigged Anti-Air systems to the country that shot down two pilots of our country recently?

>>33721670
>The enemy can't have more than one system or CAP aircraft
It's not like Russian aircraft are stealthy, so giving away your position to everyone is a pretty bad idea.

>>33721708
Turblow-Fagget? Takes one to say it knows one!

>>33720540

eh, s-300 systems, and mid-early ones at that

>>33721529
The S-500 is worse than the S-400 for anti-air; S-500 is mainly for anti-ICBM

>>33721752
geopolitics changed

>>33716970
Is that thing powered by coal? Jesus
