There are rumors that Turkey will send its S400 systems to #Ukraine. 🇺🇦
The political issue here is huge. Erdogan was playing hard with the US when he bought the S400 system from Russia. It caused serious tensions between the countries. #US
If Erdogan sends his S400 systems to Ukraine, which is in conflict with Russia, it will be as close to a declaration of war as you can get.
It is a betrayal to Putin's Russia and relations between the countries will break down completely. #Turkey
I think Erdogan has received an offer he cannot refuse.
ERDOGAN WILL GET ACCESS TO THE F-35 LIGHTNING

IMHO, Erdogan could not stand that Greece is getting F-35s and he is not.
As a show of good faith, Erdogan should immediately send 1 or 2 S-400 batteries with missiles to Ukraine.

Any enemy aircraft, cruise missile, or drone that passes within 5500 meters (3.4 miles) of a Gepard will be shot down.
Apparently, Russia has threatened Greece there will be repercussions for sending Ukraine their S-300 systems, so Russia would lose their mind if Turkey sent their S-400. Bulgaria is also sending S-300, but the number of missiles available won’t last. The west really needs to ramp up production of missiles.
I’m not sure Turkey can really afford the F-35, and I don’t trust them with the technology. They will probably want Patriot too, to replace the S-400. There is a long wait for both.
Turkey was booted out of the F-35 program for buying S-400s from Russia.
The probably have to send them all to Ukraine, to get back in.
