Ankara will turn toward Russian aircraft if Washington imposes sanctions against Turkey for purchasing the S-400. Previously, the U.S. threatened to refuse to sell the F-35 fighter jet to Ankara due to the purchase of the Russian AA-defense systems. In his turn, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan stated that S-400s would be delivered to Turkey within ten days.
