The S400 are ready to be used if needed, Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar said on Tuesday in response to questions from deputies in the parliament's budget committee. "If there is a threat, we will use them," the Turkish minister said specifically."
On the issue of the purchase of F-16 by the US, Akar said that "we are in talks with the US between the military delegations. Good results have been achieved. Four meetings were held on the F-16s, three in Turkey and one in the US. If it doesn't happen, we have other things in mind."
On Operation Fucking Sword, the Turkish PMO said: "We don't need an artificial reason to act. Our fight against terrorism will continue until the last terrorist is eliminated."
Houloussi Akar also categorically denied any connection between the government and the SADAT mercenary organization. "It is something outside of us," he said."
