Mert Ozdemir: Amazing! Perhaps, for the first time, Turkey has not bought an expensive and bad product when there is a good one and at a reasonable price.

Adnan Köroğlu: We have been through times when our "allies" left us unarmed in our airspace. But in the end, the S-400 was delivered. In every sense, this is an important event for our country. God grant there will come the time when we create our own air defence system.
Müttefik’ ülkelerin bizi hava sahamızda savunmasız bıraktığı bir süreç yaşadık.

Sonunda S-400’ler geldi.
Ülkemiz için her açıdan önemli bir gelişme.

Semra Colak: Praise Be to Allah, the S-400 has arrived. As you can see, this is no model, no figure, not a picture, not a fake.
This is the S-400 air defence system, acquired thanks to the decisive position of our leader.
Congratulations to the homeland and the people on the delivery of the S-400. I am proud of my Turkey!

Hamza Bayraktar: Congratulations to our motherland and nation! Such events strengthen our country. We’ve talked about this all the time, we need to look at things in a broader sense, and it’s time to stop wasting time on trifles.
Congratulations on the S-400 delivery. Let them burst with anger CHP, America, Merkel, secularists. Someone said that we couldn’t get them? Recep Tayyip Erdogan pounded the table and got it. And this is just the beginning. Let the USA and Europe tremble. RTE is a great president!

Some people think that pipes that go to Kıyıköy for the Turkish Stream gas pipeline are S-400. Allah! Grant these people a mind.

Additionally, users have published items related to cooking and put the S-400 hashtag because some traditional Turkish dishes resemble the shape of the Russian air defence system.
