Russian S-400 missile defence system arrives in Turkey

The first shipment of a Russian missile defence system has arrived in Turkey, the country's defence ministry says, a development that could move the country closer to US sanctions. The ministry said the first delivery of the S-400 air defence systems arrived on Friday at an air base near the capital, Ankara.

The delivery of parts of the system will continue in the coming days and authorities will decide "how it will be used" once the system is made operational, Turkey's defence industry authority said in a statement.
