Turkey's President, Recep Tayip Erdogan, said his country, which has currently announced plans to purchase Russian type S-400's land-power rocket systems, is also interested in supply with new Russian missiles, which are under way.
In our talks with Russia's president, Vladimir Putin, we do not think to stop with S-400. We've had conversations for S-500, also”, Erdogan said, today Turkish media report.
Turkey's movement, a NATO member, to buy Russian-type missiles, S-400, from some in western capitals has been viewed as contempt of the alliance, in the period of tensions with Russia, due to Moscow's role in the wars in Syria and the eastern part of Ukraine.
The S-400 missile deal, announced last month, has also caused concern as Russian weapons cannot be integrated into defences of NATO member states. / REL/
