President Tayyip Erdoğan said on Aug. 27 that Turkey wants to continue defense industry cooperation with Russia, including on warplanes, following talks in Moscow with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin.
Erdoğan spoke after the leaders visited an air show outside the Russian capital where Sukhoi Su-57 stealth fighter jets performed demonstration flights and the Turkish leader inspected aircraft.
In another step that could further strain ties with NATO ally the United States, Turkey took delivery on Aug. 27 of a second batch of Russian S-400 air defense equipment.
