According to his sources, the S-400's radars surpassed Turkey's expectations. He said Turkey's 1st S-400 regiment has a Russian-made ground-based interrogator and Turkish crypto to work with the NATO Mark XII IFF system, but this would be replaced by one made by ASELSAN

The 2nd S-400 regiment was also supposed to receive a Turkish-made ground-based interrogator by ASELSAN, but Khodarenok says that Turkey's specialists thought the Russian-made system worked so well that they might be happy with it instead of a Turkish-made version

Turkey Nears Russia Missile-Production Deal After NATO Warnings

Turkey’s set to sign an agreement with Russia to jointly produce missiles and receive know-how to develop its own defense systems, a step that could boost criticism from its NATO partners that Ankara is moving away from the bloc.

“We will sign a deal after agreeing over final details regarding joint production or production of some parts in Turkey, and technology sharing,” said Ismail Demir, head of Turkey’s top defense procurement body, known as SSB.

The talks are part of Turkey’s deal to purchase a second S-400 missile-defense system from Russia and have reached a “quite ripe” stage, Demir said on Friday in Ankara. “The signing of a deal is just around the corner,” he said.

So I made a thing...

Radar range for the #S400 located at Mürted Akinci AB, in #Turkey.

The S-400 is an impressive system, significantly bolstering Ankara's Air Defense capabilities. Costly though, both politically and financially.

I dont know what Coronavirus has anything to do with this since production at MiC plants havent stopped. Actually, production has increased especially for the civil sector.

First confirmation I have see that Turkey has the whole system including missiles. That was said in mid March.

Moscow. April 21. INTERFAX-Russia and Turkey, despite the situation with coronavirus, continue consultations on the delivery of an additional batch of S-400 air defense systems, an informed Russian source told Interfax on Tuesday.
"We continue this work despite the coronavirus," he said.
On March 16, in an interview with Interfax, the Director of the Federal service for military-technical cooperation (FSMTC) Russia's Dmitry Shugaev said that Russia expects to agree to supply Turkey with an additional batch of S-400s in the foreseeable future.
"The issue of an additional batch of S-400s from Turkey is on the agenda, it has not gone anywhere. We agree on the composition of the system, delivery terms and other conditions, " he said.
"Today, the negotiation process is underway, and we hope that in the foreseeable future we will come to a common denominator. This is the foreseeable future. Once again, no one has removed this issue. There is no reason to say that the topic is "covered up" or it is not on the agenda, " the head of the Federal customs service of Russia said on March 16.
As reported, Turkey bought four s-400 divisions from Russia. on October 23, 2019, Rosoboronexport reported that Russia fulfilled this contract ahead of schedule, supplying Turkey with all elements of the S-400 systems, including missiles.
S-400-long-range anti-aircraft missile system (JSC "concern of East Kazakhstan region "Almaz-Antey").

Turkey defends from the sanctions up to a point by argument that it will buy any other in performance similar system if the price is competent and places no restriction on geography

so it basically takes the argument away from free market lobbiest countries. Because Turkey chose the path of the independent policy maker it will not rely on only one supply source

because in such case that same source retainers position from which can put Turkey back in the line according to its own and not Turkey will as it pleases. That is why we may see

gradual transition of Turkey towards other sources one of which is Russia. Turkey aviation can now be prone to sanctions and as US is the sole

supplier of Turkey fighters and as Trump presidency is not guaranteed Turkey fear of democrats who previously tried to assassinate its leadership will mean Su-35 also or perhaps China

design.

Unlikely to happen, because it does not seem that Turkey will have any money left to buy these with. They will likely aim for an IMF loan to get them out of the current disastrous situation and it will come with certain demands from the United States.
