Russia is to begin delivery of S-400 missile defence system to Turkey next year, the Interfax news agency cited Russia’s state arms exporter Rosoboronexport as saying on Tuesday.
The S-400 Triumf is considered the latest Russian long-range anti-aircraft missile system. The United States has expressed concern that NATO member Turkey’s planned deployment of the Russian-made S-400 could risk the security of several US-made weapons used by Turkey, including the F-35 jet.
Rosoboronexport also said it would switch to using local currencies in deals with foreign trade partners, instead of using the dollar, the RIA news agency reported.
