lol, US specifically told turkey that they will not allow sale of F-35 if S400 is bought. They even tried to persuade India to buy Patriot and THAAD as an alternative. Whether you like to admit it or not, S400 scared pentagon military planners more than anything else.

Because the US wants Russia punished and isolated due to its annexation of Crimea. That's the main purpose of the sanctions. This is not because of S-400 that Turkey cannot even use against Assad's old warplanes.

that’s not how it works. These are expensive systems. You can’t just use shortcuts to deploy them without the crew being comfortable enough to use it, that too if there is imminent threat of war.

Turkish forces on S-400 have been testing ghe system since last year. As I said, they even practiced already targetting F-16 using S-400 radar.

no, because they do not want F-35 to be sold to any country that operates S400. The pentagon has said this on numerous occasions

btw most countries in this world buy military equipment from Russia. Will Us sanction all of them? Again, come out of the delusions that these sanctions are being used against Russia due to annexation of Crimea. If that was the case, China would have been sanctioned long back.

US imposes sanctions on China for buying Russian weapons

China's Equipment Development Department (EDD) and its head, Li Shangfu, are sanctioned for completing "significant transactions" with Russia's state arms exporter, Rosoboronexport.

The EDD and Mr Li have been added to a Blocked Persons List , meaning any assets they hold in the US are frozen and Americans are "generally prohibited"

Furthermore, the EDD is denied export licences and excluded from the American financial system.

Guy's what do you make of this?
Turkey heading towards it's destruction?

They invaded Syria long ago and have been killing Syrians and Kurds for a while. This declaration is toilet paper that Erdogan can wipe his ass with.

As for Iran and Russia, Turkey would never declare war on either since both countries can demolish every Turkish soldier and outpost in Syria and hit any part of Turkey too. We are talking about hundreds of cruise missiles, armed drones and attack aircraft targeting the Turks not to mention thousands of well equipped and trained soldiers and tens of thoughts of well trained militias.

The Turks are having a hard time just dealing with Syrian, their lossless are staggering. The Turks are obviously hiding the true casualties, if 33 soldiers (which is probably a propaganda number) have recently been killed imagine how many are wounded and how many terrorists died. The Turks and their terrorists have suffered hundreds of losses in the past week. They are canon folders at this point.
