Reports on the purchase of a second S-400 array from Russia – Ankara downplays the issue

by

A major upset was caused earlier when Moscow also announced that there was movement from Ankara regarding the s400 as the Istanbul Stock Exchange index plummeted by 2.5%.

The news about the supply of the second s400 array seems to have caused a greater disturbance in Turkey than in the West, with the first side effects already manifesting in the Turkish Stock Exchange.

In particular, a big disturbance was caused earlier when Moscow also announced that there is movement from Ankara regarding the s400 as the index of the Istanbul stock market fell by 2.5%.

This image was maintained for a long time until there was the announcement of a Turkish official from the Ministry of Defense and the Turkish defense industry, according to which the existence of a second signing of the contract is denied, however, a very large possibility is left open for it as it is emphasized that the negotiations with the Russia, as far as the existing contract is concerned, continue.

In any case, it is understood that Turkey is essentially passing on the prospect of purchasing a second array as a “pressure lever” for upgrading the F-16s from America.
