A messy multibillion-dollar weapon sale between Turkey, Russia and the US just got more complicated
Turkey wants Russia's S-400 missile system, America's Patriot missile system and the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter jet.
Russia's S-400, a mobile long-range surface-to-air missile system, cannot be operated alongside the Patriot system or the F-35.
The Kremlin says it will press ahead with delivering the S-400 to Ankara despite the possible sale of the Patriot system.

US also gave Turkey locations of all its bases in Syria for advance warning of invasion. US, France, and Iran have all signaled their intentions to remove their armed forces from Syria within a few months. Perhaps, a trade of Deir Ezzor for Idlib is in the offing. Syria and Russia move on the terrorists in Idlib at last. Turkey has massed 15,000 jihadists against the SDF.

Perhaps he understands that in 20 years China will be number 1 on the planet by a wide margin. And NATO and Russia will become allies.

Turkey had been threatening to leave NATO. That's why the Pentagon is lobbying Congress not to stop the sale and why Trump decided to leave Syria.

Lol, sounds pretty hypocritical given all the hype over NATO encroachment and threat to Russia.

But hey, an arms sale is an arms sale...

Reports are that the Russians have been doing the same in Syria by building bases in close proximity to the Americans' in Raqqa and al-Taanf and installing S-300's to make it uncomfortable to do air support for terrorist staging hit-and-run raids from US-occupied territories.

Good question. I fail to see the point in it. I wouldn't trust the Turks with a dead cat. If those things are delivered you can bet they won't be top of the line when it comes to the capabilities side of things.

Here's the official site for the Sherp. What's wrong with where the gauges are? When I drive I don't keep my eyes on the gauges, I keep them on the road. I also drive by "feel" and sound. Doesn't seem like a big deal to me.

It is interesting. I have not heard of this before. This all-terrain vehicle can swim. Low pressure tires allow you to have comfort when driving, and tires are also connected into a single air inflation system. The all-terrain vehicle has a Japanese diesel engine.Good car for rescue intelligence services.

Price is quite high for individual use (6,500,000 rubles = $92,000) and all-terrain vehicle requires transportation on a trailer for ordinary roads.

I think that these devices will be viewed only when engine starts to smoke. ))
