Ankara may buy more S-400 missiles

Turkey may buy a second batch of the Russian-made S-400 missile defense system if the United States refuses to provide Patriot missiles, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said on Wednesday. "If the US does not want to sell the Patriot, tomorrow we could buy a second S-400 or another defense system," he said during an interview with NTV broadcaster. Meanwhile, the Kremlin said on Wednesday that Russia is interested in expanding its military technical cooperation with Ankara and is ready to consider supplying more S-400 air defense missiles to Turkey.
