Counterpart on the phone to discuss his nations controversial purchase of the russian s. 400 Missile Defense system who see acker reportedly told mark esper that the deal does not mean that turkey is changing its Strategic Direction the 1st delivery was flown into the mooted air base near the capital ankara with several more jewels over the next few days the u. S. Is ready to impose sanctions its also threatening to stop supplying turkey with its f. 35 fighter jets wanted to take a closer look at the russian s. 400 Missile Defense system and that f. 35 fighter jet the s 400 will give turkey a significant advantage over its neighbors in terms of air cover the systems missiles can simultaneously track and destroy incoming targets up to 400 kilometers away the u. S. Is concerned that turkeys s 400 purchase will compromise the security of its f. 35. 00 jets that Stealth Fighter is the backbone of the u. S. And nato is future air power turkeys already bought for and wants another 116. 00 but the u. S. Believes russia may use the f. 400 system to collect Sensitive Data about the f. 35 is out and fisher has more on the u. S. Reaction from washington. Donald trump said at the g. 20 in or sacca that he didnt think the u. S. Would impose sanctions on turkey if they went ahead with the part just the understood why present the one was looking at the russian system he blamed president obama for not doing enough to help out a need to ally but the reality is he cant stop the sanctions its no american law that if turkey went ahead with this part just on the actually switch on the machine then sanctions start and theres a list of 12 sanctions that can be imposed all financial donald trump picks 5 from the list no you might be able to perspire in imposing the sanctions for 180 days but after that period they come in and there are a number of congressional leaders who say look if turkey goes ahead with this we will punish them through sanctions so where are we know it looks as of both sides have taken this to the absolute brink but at least they are no talking the u. S. About selling a new system to the turks which is the petri system which the turks of wanted for a long time and the turks are talking about not switching on the russian system which is just bought for hundreds of millions of dollars well earlier we spoke to richard invites his defense analyst at the global Risk Consultancy wiki straps and he says that countries wanted to buy the s 400 wont be deterred by threats of u. S. Sanctions. About a decade ago the turks excited they needed a better air Defense System and they realize they didnt have a Strong Enough National Defense industry to build their own so they started initially looking at a chinese system but the u. S. And nato managed to sway them from doing that now though theyve gone ahead with the russian system seems to me plausible that if the turks had such a system and also had the f. 35. 00 that over time being able to watch the f. 35 very closely very frequently would give the russians still control the software 1st and some insight into how to use the f. How to attack the f. 35 and that plane is really where the u. S. And nato has put its bets for the future there have been a vast amount of money for it in and so you want to pose those theres also as you mention a general concern about nato and its ties with turkey and her fees drifting away towards russia or at least away from nato and there is a some hope that by putting a firm stance now that could avert that and finally theres a big concern that not only turkey but many other countries might purchase the system now President Trump says raids aimed at deporting undocumented immigrants will begin in 10 u.
