America's Big Fear: Turkey Mixing F-35s and Russia's S-400 Air Defense System It's no secret that relations between Washington and Ankara have been on a downward trajectory for years. A recent consequence of, and contributor to, this deterioration has been Ankara's announcement in 2017 that it would purchase S-400 Triumf surface-to-air missile systems from Russia rather than a Western air defense missile such as the Patriot. Turkey has also reportedly paid a deposit for a $2.5 billion contract with Russia, with delivery to follow in October 2019. At the same time, Turkey is set to receive at least thirty F-35A stealth fighters from the United States through 2022 and would like to acquire 120 ultimately. A ceremony held on June 21—which involved an interpretive dance by a man in a leather wing suit—officially transferred the first four F-35s to the Turkish Air Force, though the aircraft remain on U.S. soil while crew undergoes training.
