A step that had been long threatened and expected after Ankara began accepting delivery of an advanced Russian missile defense system last week. The first parts of the S-400 air defense system were flown to the Murted military air base northwest of Ankara on Friday, sealing Turkey’s deal with Russia, which Washington had struggled for months to prevent. The under secretary of defense for acquisition and sustainment, Ellen Lord said, “The US and other F-35 partners are aligned in this decision to suspend Turkey from the program and initiate the process to formally remove Turkey from the program.” “The United States is spending between $500 and $600 million in non-recurring engineering in order to shift the supply chain,” she said.
