Turkey to Activate S-400 Missile System, Send Home Russian Missile Experts
[ENGLISH.AAWSAT] The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...
said it will send home Russian missile experts overseeing the S-400 air defense technology that has strained ties with the United States, addressing one of Washington’s concerns with the system.

The remarks, which come ahead of a planned meeting between Ottoman Turkish President His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First
...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than there are in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really most important...
and his US counterpart Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. I'm not working for you. Don't be such a horse's ass....
on the sidelines of a NATO
...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A single organization with differing goals, equipment, language, doctrine, and structure....
summit in Brussels mid-June, signal Ankara’s readiness to compromise on one element of US concerns.

Ottoman Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said the system would be under Ottoman Turkish control when the experts leave.

However,
some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them...
he reiterated Ankara would not budge on Washington’s broader demand to abandon the missiles in order for related US sanctions to be lifted.

"The S-400s will be under our 100 percent control. We’ve sent many technicians for training. The Russian military experts won’t stay in Turkey," Cavusoglu said on a visit to Greece.

But he rejected US calls on Turkey not to activate the missiles. "It is not possible to accept calls from another country to not use them," he stressed.

Ankara had submitted a roadmap to Washington in order to resolve outstanding bilateral issues, he said, noting that it is currently being reviewed.

"There are outstanding issues between Washington and Ankara, topped by the Russian S-400 missiles, the US support for the Kurdish People’s Protection Units in Syria and Fethullah Gülen
... a Turkish preacher living in Pennsylvania whom the current govt of Turkey considers responsible for all the ills afflicting Turkey and possibly the entire world. Gülen and Erdogan used to be really good friends, but only one of them could be sultan, and Gülen lost...
’s Hizmet (Service) Movement, as well as Biden's recognition of the Armenian genocide."

The US administration is willing to establish good ties with Turkey through dialogue and joint cooperation, either under through NATO or bilaterally, Cavusoglu explained.

Two US delegations have visited Ankara, during which intelligence, military and political senior figures from both sides held talks.

Ankara and Washington have been at odds over issues including Syria policy, human rights
...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty...
and the S-400 air defense acquisition, over which the US has sanctioned Turkey and removed it from its F-35 fighter jet program.

In March, Cavusoglu and Antony Blinken held their first face-to-face meeting since the US State Secretary took office.

"We may discuss differences with Washington and what future steps to take on strategic topics by establishing a bilateral working group," he said back then. "We need to work on a roadmap."

#2 I've flown a F-16 in Microsoft Flight Simulator.

Doesn't mean that I'd actually try that for real.

#3 "Hello! Hello hello! Mojor Yuri?Hello!"

"Huhh."

"Please. The engagement radar is activated first or after the missile has fired?"

"что?"

"The engagement... the radar... Major can you hear me?! Hello?"

"Heh... Эти лохи снова."

"Major Yuri?!"

"нет послепродажного обслуживания."

"What is he sayi....?"

#5 in reality, Turkey needs neither the S-400 system nor F-35 jets because no country seriously threatens them;

and when it comes to supporting their militia in Syria or attacking some refugees, they don't need such fancy equipment
