The Pentagon warned Friday that there would be"grave consequences" for Turkey if it goes ahead with the purchase of the Russian-made S-400 missile system.
"If Turkey takes the S-400s there will be grave consequences," acting chief Pentagon spokesperson Charles Summers told reporters Friday, saying it would undermine America's military relationship with Ankara.Summers said those consequences would include the US not allowing Turkey to acquire the F-35 jet and the Patriot missile defense system.
