Ankara, Washington in talks over PATRIOT Missile System

[MMM-E]

Turkey and the United States are in talks over the procurement of the Patriot missile system, a Turkish official said. A senior U.S. official is expected to pay a visit to Ankara on March 31 to discuss the issue

Our work on Patriot missiles and other systems compatible with NATO will continue,” Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım told reporters on March 23

Ankara “looks positively towards all kinds of joint work” that will guarantee the security of the southern borders of the country, said Yıldırım, adding that Turkey is a NATO member and the alliance’s borders are Turkey’s southern borders.

“The U.S. is still our ally despite its mistakes in the region of Syria,” he said





He added that this work would not be an alternative to the Russian S-400 anti-missile defense systems that Ankara had decided to purchase

In December 2017 Turkey and Russia signed an accord 4 of S-400 surface-to-air missile batteries ( 48 launchers and 192 missiles ) for $2,5 billion

The system we are buying from Russia cannot be integrated into NATO systems, but we are maintaining our target to develop a system that is compatible with NATO






In January 2018 , Turkey awarded EUROSAM an 18-month contract for a study into the development and production of a long-range air and missile defense system
The study will define Turkish requirements and architecture of the weapon system which will be based on the Aster Block 1 New Technology missile with a weapon delivered around 2025
in a move towards closer defense cooperation with France and Italy

Aselsan has formed a business partnership with Roketsan and defense industry research development institute TUBITAK SAGE to develop a national long-range defense system for Turkey


HISAR-U high altitude Air Defense System

-- Range: 120km and Altitude: 30km ..... Hit to Kill Missile
-- Guidance: Ka Band RF/IIR Hybrid Guidance
-- Search Radar: Aselsan EIRS 600+km range

The missile is intended to hit ballistic and cruise missiles, stealth aircraft, and UAVs

HISAR-O Medium Altitude Air Defense System

-- Range : 35+ km and Altitude : 18 km
-- Guidance/Seeker : IIR Seeker / Ku Band RF Seeker
-- Search Radar: 120 km Aselsan Kalkan2

We are not buying Patriot.

Americans wanted to show their product catalog, and we say "sure". That's it.

Wish you get s400, don't let USA make choices for you

Erdogan is not a two faced serpent. The S-400 purchase is final.

The patriot failed many times in Saudi Arabia and Israeil. It especially is poor at knocking out smaller targets such as smaller drones which is becoming major threat in Iraq and Syria.

There is one very proven medium to short range air defense system that has shot down dozens of smaller drones, large military drones, aircraft and improvised mortars and it’s not a patriot.

Patriot PAC-III always intercepts Ballistic Missiles from Yemen to S Arabia

Patriot PACIII is for Ballistic Missiles , not for Drones and Mortars

I thought the Germans(or was it US) withdrew their Patriot missiles based in Turkey bcuz some agreement(under NATO) had expired...and they didn't wanna renew it for some reason. After that whole thing Turkey started pushing harder for its own SAMs and S400. So why the change of heart now with this Patriot missile offer?

@Oublious
See buddy?
Having incerlik and F 35 will not allow you to have S 400. Americans know that if S 400 comes then F 35 and incerlik will become a joke.

Bully offers inferior system, stops delivery of one of the best SAMs in the world. Our friend Berkant is assuming the best to happen but we know the truth.

No, I mean how Saudi Arabia is begging for the S-400

Remember failure of patriot junk when Saddam attacked KSA with his outdated scud missiles. Patriot had a significant failure in its calculating process. The same junk even if updated, makes it updated junk Patriot pack 1000 lol
