Negotiations on possible deliveries of the Russian S-400 air defense system to Turkey have taken place since 2016. In March, Sergey Chemezov, the chief executive officer of Russia's state corporation Rostec, said that Turkey was ready to buy the S-400 missile systems from Russia with a loan granted by Moscow, while on Thursday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Russian and Turkish leaders might discuss the deliveries during talks in May.
