Russia’s S-400 air defense systems will be delivered to Turkey within the next 10 days, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said after the G20 summit in Osaka.
Erdogan was also certain that Turkey would be able to resolve disagreements with the US caused by the S-400 deal.
The Turkish president said that he expects the U.S. president to protect Ankara from sanctions over the purchase of Russia’s S-400 systems and also recalled that they are awaiting the delivery of 100 fifth-generation F-35 fighter jets.
The S-400 deal has worsened relations between Turkey and the USA.
Washington earlier warned that the US could refuse to sell F-35 jets to Turkey if it purchased Russia’s air defense systems.
