Russia and Turkey signed a contract for the supply of the second regiment of S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems (SAM). This was announced on Sunday, August 23, by the general director of Rosoboronexport, Alexander Mikheev , during the Army-2020 forum, RIA Novosti reports .

“We are currently discussing the financial model for the execution of this contract with our partners,” Mikheev said.

Earlier it became known that the US Congress went berserk over the joint tests of the S-400 Triumph, purchased from Russia, and the fourth-generation fighter F-16 Fighting Falcon of American production, carried out by Turkey in November 2019.

As noted by Defense News, Turkey's purchase of the S-400 Triumph from Russia suspended work on the modernization of the Turkish F-16 Fighting Falcon, which is to be carried out by the American company Lockheed Martin, and threatened a deal between Turkey and Pakistan worth about $ 1.5 billion ...

In July, the head of the secretariat of the Turkish defense industry Ismail Demir said that the costs of the F-35 Lightning II program after the exclusion of Turkish contractors from it, caused by Ankara's purchase of the S-400 Triumph from Moscow, would increase by $ 600 million and lead to an increase in the price of each such aircraft is worth $ 7-9 million.
