Russia finalizes S-400 missile system deal with Turkey

[Old School]

Both Iran and Turkey are actual nation states with centuries-long imperial history and state tradition. Neither Iran nor Turkey can be divided and invaded like the fake Sykes-Picot "nations" of "Iraq" and "Syria".

In other words, these two countries still have imperialist ambitions just like the Arab imperialism which is now dyfunct.

According to the Hindustantime website, on December 28, 2017, India has test-fired its new local-made Advanced Air Defense (AAD)/Ashvin Advanced Defense interceptor missile on Abdul Kalam Island. The Advanced Air Defence (AAD) is an anti-ballistic missile designed to intercept incoming ballistic missiles in the earth’s atmosphere at an altitude of 30 km.

On 28th Dec 2017, DRDO (Defence Research and Development Organisation) of India successfully carried out AAD missile test in which an incoming modified Prithvi ballistic missile was intercepted and destroyed with a direct hit.

This was the third supersonic interceptor test carried out in 2017. Other tests were conducted on March 1 and February 11. The last successful AAD interception test took place in May 2016.

The AAD is a single-stage, solid-fuelled missile. Guidance is similar to that of PAD: it has an inertial navigation system, midcourse updates from ground based radar and active radar homing in the terminal phase. It is 7.5 m tall, weighs around 1.2 t and a diameter of less than 0.5 m.

The interceptor missile has its own mobile launcher, secure data link for interception, independent tracking and homing capabilities and sophisticated radars.

Great air defense system no doubt. But Turkey probably won't get the 400 km range 40N6 missile as treaty regarding range beyond 300 km however even 250KM range anti air/missile system too will improve Turkish air defense.

According to @cabatli_53 the longest range missile we will get will be 380km

In Turkey's case the S-400 is mainly for anti-ballistic missile defense. It poses no danger whatsoever to neighboring countries' air forces. Wink wink.

MTCR only regulates missiles with over 500 kg warheads and mainly concerns ballistic missiles. It doesn't apply to the S-400. Also, MTCR is not a treaty and does not impose any legally binding obligations on its signatories. It's basically a joke.

Congrats to both Turkey and Russia on Safe guarding peace and freedom

Poland got Cruise missiles with 900 km range. Nobody knows actual range. Turkish President mentioned also S500 which are going in production in Russia.

Does Turkish S-400 Deal Hint At New Pact With Moscow?

  Turkey’s purchase of a Russian air defense system looks set to frustrate the relationship between Ankara and its NATO partners. While other NATO countries are investing to free themselves of dependence on Russian defense equipment, it is unclear whether the purchase of the much-feared S-400 Triumf (SA-21 Growler) will simply be a one-off buy or the beginning of a new defense relationship between Ankara and Moscow. Under the $2.5 billion deal, signed on Dec. 29, Turkey will purchase ...

Love to listen to the Westerners cry and whine about this. Sweet music to my ears.

My premonition that it is a regiment was not wrong.

"S-400 sistemi “alay komutanlığı” - S-400 Regiment

Alay = Regiment

So each system will be equiped with 144 missiles ready to fire, we will have 288 missiles ready to fire. Each squadron will have 72 missile, and we can put this squadron every wher we want to something in a cirkel of 30 km if i am not wrong.

Hopefully we will be able to position four independent battery. We cannot even cover all critical areas with two batteries. Lets say we will get only two, and they would be positioned in;

> İstanbul and Marmara region
> İzmir and aegean region

What about Ankara? Eastern Med. sea (and airspace of TRNC)? Let alone putting them in southeastern borders
