If you use it with AWACS you can scan low flying fighters or cruise missiles from above, it will definitly put Greece in a shit position. It is like we have Greece in our pocket.

Greeks wouldn't shoot at our big and huge AWACS above the egean sea)) that's why greek f16s and S300 are waiting for

I agree. But I'm pretty sure S-400 isn't inter-operable with our Boeing 737 AEW&C E-7 Wedgetails. It's been stated many times by RTE and others that they will operate in stand alone mode because of US/NATO objections.

No, our awacs have 600 km radar range if you look to a single sector. What i remember they can scan a coverage of 370km 360 degree.

Well the operators can talk to each others.

Greeks would try attacking on them from f16s. Here comes the big air to air battle above Turkey.

But what's the use of that if the S-400 can't engage what the guys on the AWACS are seeing? In order for that to actually work the airplane and the S-400 need to be networked.

Using S-400 with stand alone radar without connecting to AWACS and other radars is such a waste.

In stand alone it makes more sense to deploy them in TRNC and Izmir, why in Ankara nobody in the region can enter our airspace that far.

1. To keep the US/NATO from attempting another coup d'etat in Turkey.
2. To provide some ABM defense and protect our capital.
3. They're mobile and can be moved elsewhere depending on circumstances.

Istanbul and the Marmara region seems way more strategic than Ankara to me

Or covering whole Israel airspace and detecting every F-35 flight. Maybe you know what I am talking about.

does anyone enters your air space

you would need an over the horizon radar for that or an 24/7 AWACS

You think S-400 cant?

 

[ÇölKaplanı]

You think S-400 cant?

Actually TuAF bought multiple 91N6E Big Bird and 96L6E Cheese Board radars to cover all of Turkey's airspace since S-400s will work as standalone.

96L6 Radar

In peace times, no. Does anyone enters your airspace?

Actually the Greeks do that sometimes, but they get their answers right away.
