Turkey is seeking Russia’s consent to transfer air defense systems it bought from Moscow to a third country, an effort aimed at clearing the way for the purchase of US-made F-35 fighter jets.
Ankara made the approach in recent weeks, just months after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan proposed returning the S-400 missile systems to Russia — an idea that gained little traction, said Turkish officials, who asked not to be identified because the discussions are private.
Maybe Moscow wants to consider buying those air defense systems back.
Nah, they already know that they don’t work.
Ukraine can’t bomb their oil refineries if Russia’s own missiles destroy them first.
