Report: Turkey's S-400s to be loaded on planes Sunday in Russia

None

The first of the Russian S-400 defense systems that Ankara has purchased will be loaded on to cargo planes on Sunday and arrive in Turkey some time next week, privately-held broadcaster Haberturk reported.

 

Washington has said that U.S. sanctions would be triggered when the missile batteries arrive in NATO ally Turkey.

 

The initial S-400 delivery will be sent on two cargo planes from a Russian military air base, Haberturk said without citing a source. It also reported that a Russian technical team that would oversee its installation is expected to arrive in Turkey by Monday.
