They are doing everything possible to instead of the Russian s-400 Ankara purchased in the United States air defense missile system “patriot”. The course was launched and persuasion, and blackmail. But Turkey firmly keeps hitting and their position on the “chetyrehsot” does not change.

Along with the destruction of planes and helicopters, it can also detect and shoot down cruise missiles and operational-tactical missiles up to 400 kilometers. Unique computer complex “chetyrehsot” without human intervention to determine the type and nature of the goals, to allocate from them the most dangerous. And use multiple types of ammunition makes it indispensable in creating a layered defense. But most importantly, that “Triumph” is equally suitable for solving problems of air defense and missile defense.
