deliveries had begun. we say this each time this is a done deal and the process continues. this russian sources say p s 400 anti-aircraft system can reach targets at an altitude of up to 30 kilometers and has a range of 400 kilometers turkey is a member of the western nato alliance the u.s. has warned it will not allow turkey to participate in the f. 35 joint strike fighter program if it acquires the s 400 the us has also threatened other sanctions. what we have heard so far from the white house is that sanctions would target individuals or specific arms manufacturers i feel the most important thing about these sanctions is their symbolic effect could have far reaching consequences if a fragile turkish economy. russian media say deliveries of the s.

$400.00 system will be completed by the end of the summer this purchase of russian equipment is said to intensify tensions between turkey and its nato partners. earlier we asked our correspondent dorian jones and if at all to explain why turkey is so keen to buy this missile defense system here's what he had to say. well firstly turkey argues it's an independent sovereign country and it can buy whatever it wants from whoever it wants sand but on top of that turkish officials also stress turkey is in a very tough neighborhood it borders or brand iraq and syria so there is a need for us to sophisticated missile system and it said it 1st turned to the united states to buy its patriot missile system but that was blocked by the then u.s. president barack obama and the congress to turkey said we have to turn to moscow and the 400 russian system is widely considered as one of the best in the world although i have spoken to a former senior military officer who makes a point he said that turkey

a nato member says that these missile system is incompatible with all of turkey's our nato military systems and he said that their defense is particularly dependent on interoperability so there is big question mark what other factors are driving this and another key factor is tokyo deepening relationship with russia 2 countries have been markedly improving ties president reject type heard one has built up a very close relationship with the russian president vladimir putin and this is 400 missile deal he's seen a solidifying those deepening ties and adding to only further concerns among take turkey's nato allies turkey is of course and nato member as you just said just how much damage has this contentious done to their relations with a bloc as a whole and the u.s. may be in particular. well nato has issued a statement voicing concern over the delivery of these missiles stressing concerns over compatibility and what it says are the consequences of this deal but beyond

that it's not just a compatibility issue the russian missile system has a very advanced some powerful radar system and the fear among nato allies is that their defense systems could be compromised by this powerful system a backdoor into turkey into nato systems and the u.s. have said one of the reasons is that this deal goes through that they will not allow the sending of its latest effort he fired military jet fighter jet which is heavily reliant on stealth technology which he says the russian system could compromise on top of that turkey has been frozen out of the consortium building this jet if this deal goes through but but also it is seen that the most boring fact is further sanctions from congress over this me sad to see if they could devastate turkey's a commie but turkey is looking to its turkish president's relationship with the u.s. president donald trump to so stop any of those sanctions being introduced remains to be seen by the trunk will invest heavy political capital standing up to congress
