Turkey continues preparations for activating Russian-made S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems, Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar announced on Thursday. This reported by TASS.

"We continue checking and preparing the [S-400] systems in accordance with our plans," the Anadolu news agency quoted him as saying.

‘We will use S-400s the way some NATO members are using S-300s," the Turkish defense minister said.

Turkey’s proposal to set up a technical taskforce with the United States to study the compatibility of S-400s and US F-35 fifth-generation fighters remains in force, Akar said.
