During this period, the Russian army successively used advanced weapons such as the "dagger" hypersonic missile system to carry out various precision strikes on the Ukrainian logistics base in Ukraine, not only killing a large number of Western mercenaries, but also destroying all the weapons and ammunition supplied by the United States to Ukraine. NATO found that Ukraine had no air superiority at all, so it tried to seek help Ukraine obtain the S-300 air defense missile system, but Russia made it clear that if NATO gave Ukraine the S-300 air defense missile system, then the Russian military would still regard it as a target.
S-400 anti-aircraft missile system
No way, some people in the United States began to pour ecstasy soup into Turkey, asking Turkey to provide the Russian S-400 air defense missile system that had just been installed to Ukraine for use. It is said that the United States has repeatedly made this "proposal" to Turkey in the past month or so, and some experts from American think tanks who have worked at the CIA have even proposed that the F-35 stealth fighter could be considered as a quid pro quo. As we all know, Turkey lost its qualification to obtain the U.S. fifth-generation F-35 because it bought the S-400 air defense missile system, which also led to Turkey not being equipped with stealth fighters so far. If the United States uses a fifth-generation machine as a chip, it seems to make Turkey "heartwarming".
The S-400 anti-aircraft missile system was delivered to Turkey
However, the fact may make the United States angry, Turkey may have been pressured by the United States for a while, so it has already made a statement on the issue of the S-400 air defense missile system and the F-35 fighter jet in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. Ismail Demir, head of turkey's Defense Industry Agency, publicly declared a few days ago that there is no problem with Russian-Turkish cooperation on the S-400, and he further said that the F-35 fighter jet has been turned over, and Turkey will focus on other projects. Demir also stressed that the Turkish side also has no interest in the "Patriot" anti-missile equipment of the same kind in the United States.
F-35 fighter
Turkey's repeated statements have actually poured several basins of cold water on the United States, and now Turkey has long lost its expectations for the F-35 fighter jet, and it is unlikely to easily hand over the S-400 equipment. At the current level of Russian-Turkish relations, Turkey is unlikely to publicly offend Russia. Moreover, even if Ukraine obtains Turkey's S-400, Russia still has a countermeasure, after all, the S-400 is originally Russia's weapon, and if Russia destroys these S-400 equipment, Turkey will not be compensated. What, the United States will provide F-35 fighter jets? Don't make jokes, even if the United States does offer the F-35, Turkey will have to pay for it. Besides, Turkey has spent so much effort on the S-400 over the years, is it necessary to give it all up now? The United States has been sanctioning and intimidating Turkey, but it wants Turkey to offend Russia, and Turkey is certainly not willing to do this kind of thing.
