What is Turkey's play? The S-400 Russian Missile or the American made F-35? There are many talking points for both systems such as cost, management and military functionality for the nation but it appears Turkey has drawn the short straw for its military position by buying the S-400 missile instead of the F-35.
That tells me the complexity of the US system is much more affecting the Turkey's defense strategy from the costs, training and maintaining of the Lockheed F-35 system than the S-400 Russian system. It seems Turkey went the cheaper route when stumbling NATO over its own S-400 purchase. It will be soon where Turkey's S-400 buy-in will be nullified by a combination of drone, special forces and various aviation tools including the F-35 for disabling those same Russian made Turkish systems. Turkey is taking a big risk on the missile system doing by what is reported about it. It can and will be neutralized by NATO assets and Turkey will find itself well beyond the political intrigue Erdogan is now levering against its allies in NATO by buying military weapons from Russia. The current solution is to cut the cancer out today by blocking any sales, then chemo the political will Erdogan holds over Turkey before eradicating the region with radiation before the patient is pronounced dead.
Turkey is drawing the short straw on bad advice at this time in history and its people are unaware of what is happening to its home.
