Whoever in Turkey pushed hard for the S400 and argued (successfully) that being locked out of the F35 was worth the trade off, should be forced to walk around with a pointy hat with donkey ears for the rest of their life.

At the same time, the S400 sales reps did not get paid enough...

I'm just surprised that the Russian air defense across the board seems to be as ineffective as it is (even naval AA... The Moskva).

So, if you cannot question those in power.. you have to accept what they tell you. In the West companies had to prove stuff works ad nauseam. In the end ... War does not accept close enough... It either works or you end up on Oryx.
