Turkey says US missile deal does not affect S-400 purchase from Russia

Ankara’s purchase of US missiles worth $3.5 billion will not affect a deal to acquire rival S-400 missiles from Russia, the Turkish presidential spokesman says.

“The US Patriot sale process does not affect the S-400 process. We don’t see one as an alternative for the other,” Ibrahim Kalin says. Turkey’s plans to buy the Russian S-400s has drawn rebuke from its NATO allies.
