Washington says the Russian missile system is a threat to the F-35s and Turkey can't have both.The Turkish leader previously said he does not believe Washington will impose sanctions since the two countries are "strategic allies".It's unclear when and where the S-400s will be fully installed, but Turkey will be the first NATO member to operate the Russian surface-to-air defence system, which can hit targets as far as 400km away.The ninth Russian plane carrying S-400 parts landed at the Murted military base in Ankara on Monday, the defence ministry said.Formerly known as the Akinci base, it was renamed after the July 15, 2016 coup attempt by a faction of the military.
