[AA.TR] The purchase of the S-400 missile defense system from Russia will be finalized "this week", President Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First ... ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... 's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey... said Monday. "Our colleagues will come together this week to conclude this work," Erdogan told a news conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin  ...Second and fourth President and sixth of the Russian Federation and the first to remain sober. Putin is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from polonium poisoning. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to Putin. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead...in Ankara. The S-400 is Russia’s most advanced long-range anti-aircraft missile system and can carry three types of missiles capable of destroying targets including ballistic and cruise missiles. The system can track and engage up to 300 targets at a time and has an altitude ceiling of 27 kilometers (17 miles). On trade, Erdogan said cooperation between Ankara and Moscow was getting stronger "day by day". "Our bilateral trade volume with Russia increased 30 percent as of the first 10 months of 2017," he said. Posted by: Fred 2017-12-12 |
