PanARMENIAN.Net – Russia is installing an advanced anti-aircraft
missile system in its southern military region in reaction to Turkey’s
deployment of a NATO missile system, Press TV reported citing the
Turkish daily Hurriyet.Russian Col. Igor Gorbul said the army will
complete the installation of S-400 anti-aircraft missiles by the end
of this year.
Gorbul also stated that the new missiles can destroy
ultra-stratospheric and ballistic missiles and all types of airplanes.
NATO’s missile system has been established in Turkey’s East Anatolia
region.
The Hurriyet report comes several days after Turkish fighter jets
forced a Syrian passenger plane heading to Damascus from Moscow to
land in the capital Ankara.
The aircraft carried a group of Russian nationals among the passengers.
Considering the lack of Russia’s land frontier with Turkey, it cannot
be ruled out that the missiles will be deployed in the territory of
Armenia, where Russia’s 102nd military base is stationed.
