S-400 Triumph WASHINGTON, Mar 20 US offers Turkey to hand over air defense systems -400 Russian-made missiles to Ukrainian troops, Reuters reported, citing three informed sources. U.S. authorities are now looking around the world for Russian-made or Soviet-made anti-aircraft missile systems that Ukraine could use to counter Russian aircraft and missiles. «U.S. officials voiced the idea over the past month in contacts with Turkish colleagues, but no specific or formal request was made,» the agency writes. The purchase of the S-400 has become one of the main irritants in relations between the United States and Turkey, where they refuse to decommission Russian systems, despite political pressure, sanctions and exclusion from the F-35 fifth-generation fighter production program. Slo may also become a supplier of air defense systems for Ukraine Wakiya, whose authorities recently announced their readiness to transfer S-300 systems to a neighboring country if the United States provides them with an adequate replacement. Similar systems are also in service with Greece.
