When the system is deployed on Turkish soil, the country will become the first NATO member to operate the S-400. Turkish Defence Minister Hulusi Akar has said deployment of the S-400 will begin by October 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Erdogan\u2019s announcement comes as Aselsan and Roketsan are in talks with Franco-Italian company Eurosam for the co-production of its SAMP\/T system in Turkey. The talks are ongoing under a conceptual definition contract with the European producer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Scheduled to last 18 months, the definition study is meant to prepare a development and production contract for the future system, which is expected to meet operational requirements of the Turkish Air Force.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A
