Fifteenth plane with S-400 components arrives in Turkey

The fifteenth Russian aircraft with components for S-400 missile systems has arrived in Ankara, the Turkish Ministry of National Defense reported.

"The deliveries of S-400 air defense systems continue," RIA Novosti cited the ministry as saying.

It is reported that the plane landed in the Murted Air Base.

Deliveries of Russia’s S-400 missile systems to Turkey began on July 12. 

The U.S. confirmed that Turkey would be excluded from the F-35 stealth fighter jet program after it purchased the Russian S-400 air defense missile system. Turkey will lose its production work on the jet by March 2020.
