Turkey tested Russian-made S-400 air defense systems on US-made F-16 fighter jets in November 2019, a source close to the Turkish defense industry told TASS on Tuesday.

Earlier in the day, several media reported with reference to the Fighter Jets World portal that the Russian-made missile systems had been tested on US aircraft. The portal published a video footage by Turkey’s TRT channel, featuring Russia’s S-400 systems and US-made F-16 and F-4 aircraft, which was released via its official Youtube account on November 29, 2019.

"Yes, such trials have indeed taken place last November," the source told TASS when asked to comment on those media reports.
