MOSCOW: The Kremlin said Friday it was discussing whether to let Turkiye sell off its Russian-made S-400 missile systems, amid reports Ankara planned to offload them in exchange for Washington granting access to US-made F-35 fighter jets.
NATO member Turkiye has been blocked from Washington’s F-35 program since 2019, when Ankara received its first deliveries of Russian-made S-400 air defense batteries — a weapons system the United States had explicitly warned it against purchasing.
