? Why is Turkey so keen on getting Russian S-400
One-The problem of integrating the S-400 into the Turkish Air Force
Turkey has a military arsenal combining American and European weapons.
The Russian air defense system S-400 poses a major problem with regard to its harmony and integration with Western weapons, especially the Turkish Air Force.
Indeed, the S-400 air defense system specifically designed to shoot down ballistic missiles, American and Western European planes… This makes Turkish F-16 unknowable.
For your information, Russia refused to give the S-400 system codes to the Turkish army.

The reasons for this agreement are probably not for Turkey to protect its airspace as a whole, and to protect against Iranian missiles directed against US bases in Turkey, in any conflict or Iran-US war, but for the future state Turkey provides absolute protection for its strategic positions against Turkish aircraft themselves or future NATO plane for some reason.
American-Turkish Conflict:
American-Turkish Conflict:
On the whole, In any United States-Turkish dispute, the United States has repeatedly witnessed arms exports to Turkey:
- In 1974, the United States of America imposed sanctions on Turkey, which was involved in the export of arms to Turkey, for three full years, due to the invasion of northern Cyprus by Turkey after that the Greek majority in southern Cyprus had been exposed to the Turkish minority in the North
- In 1990, After the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War, the United States no longer cared for the security of their allies bordering Russia, such as Turkey, moreover, provided them with air cover adequate, its territory and its strategic locations without counting on the NATO countries and the United States.
- The creation of Turkey as a member and partner of the project "Euro-Sam" on the French and Italian air defense systems coincided with the beginning of the search for agreements with the main industrialized countries in this field and the offers received at the time by Turkey:
1- Russian system S-300
2. The Chinese HQ-9 system
3 - The American Patriot System
- When the United States refrained from exporting its most advanced Long and Medium-range air defense system, the Patriot Pac-3, Turkey reacted by changing its eastward orientation and began considering the Russian system S400, more efficient than its American counterpart begin.

From America did what it previously practiced against Turkey and witnessed the supply of the fifth-generation stealth aircraft F-35 despite Turkey's partnership with the project.
In 2016, the United States refrained from cooperating with Turkey and delivering the brain of the coup Fathallah Colin, a resident of Pennsylvania.
Joseph Votel, the Commander of US Central Command, has even strongly opposed Turkish detentions in the military during the three-year period from 2016 to 2019.

Compatibilité Turco-Russe :
After
the Turco-Russian crisis caused by the overthrow of the Russian fighter Su-24,
relations were increasingly tense and increasingly intense, which led Russia to
impose economic sanctions on Turkey and to impose air presence in Syrian
territory, deploying a complex network of advanced anti-aircraft defenses.
After
the failed coup against President Erdogan and Turkey's doubts about the
involvement of NATO and the US in this process, Turkey's foreign policy has
changed.
Erdogan
has become the enemy of Russia for a friend seeking to repair what the Syrian
crisis has corrupted, as well as a friend and ally of the West. He criticizes
American and European politics in the Middle East and Syria.
These
Turkish-Russian relations have been translated into:
-
Erdogan attends the first Astana summit in January 2017 to find a solution to
the Syrian crisis.
These
are the real reasons why Turkey has concluded a high-level agreement on arms
with Russia, turning away from America and Europe, indifferent to the economic
sanctions it will impose or even if they lead to its exit of NATO
Characteristics:
The
S400 firing missiles of different range, including 40, 120, 250 and 400 km.
The question ... is whether Turkey will be satisfied with the Russian
Advanced System S-400 or is it just the beginning of several big contracts to
come in the near future, like to consider replacing the F-35 Americans by Su-57
