Turkey is set to receive the second batch of the Russian-made S-400 missile system despite the impeding US warning of possible sanctions. Ankara received its first supply of S-400 missiles in July.
The acquisition of the highly-advanced air defense system has led to a standoff between Turkey and its NATO allies especially the US and its delivery is expected to continue until April 2020. It has been raised that the Russian system is incompatible with NATO systems and is a threat to the hi-tech F-35 fighter jets.
The modular S-400 is seen as one of the most advanced missile systems in the world, capable of tracking several targets simultaneously and ready to be fired within minutes.
