The first shipment of a Russian missile defense system has arrived in Turkey, the Turkish Defense Ministry said Friday, moving the country closer to possible U.S. sanctions and a new standoff with Washington.

A Defense Ministry statement said “the first group of equipment” of the S-400 air defense systems has reached the Murted Air Base near the capital, Ankara.

The delivery of parts of the system will continue in the coming days and authorities will decide “how it will be used” once the system is made operational, Turkey’s defense industry authority said in a statement.

The U.S. has strongly urged NATO member Turkey to pull back from the deal — reportedly costing more than $2 billion — warning the country that it will face economic sanctions under the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act if it goes ahead with the purchase. It has also said Turkey won’t be allowed to participate in the program to produce high-tech F-35 fighter jets.

…. Washington has repeatedly said that the Russian system is incompatible with NATO systems and is a threat to the F-35. (Excerpts from The Times of Israel article)

Lord thank You for everything. Thank You for Your protection. God our world is becoming more armed than ever before. May we spend time money and effort seeking peace and prosperity and not build this arms race. I pray this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
