Military activities are expressed with the concept of defense today. Air defense systems provide deterrence against air attacks against a country, reduce, limit, delay and prevent the effects of attacks. As the name suggests, it is for defense, not for attack. The system has no possibility to attack another country. Since it is designed to be used in the event of a counter-attack, any country that does not intend to attack need not worry as it will not be harmed. Therefore, they serve peace, not war. In this respect, it is not possible to understand the reactions regarding the S-400 Air Defense Systems to be purchased from Russia.

Moreover, a NATO member Greece, just like us, bought S-300 from Russia and placed it in Crete against another NATO member Turkey. Now they are trying to upgrade it to the S-400s. It is known that there are Russian air defense missiles in the Greek Cypriot Administration. Bulgaria and Slovakia have S-300 missile systems. Syria has S-200 and S-300 missiles. Russia has deployed S-400 in Latakia. Israel has the ‘Arrow anti-ballistic missile systems’ developed with the help of the USA. While there are so many air defense systems in our immediate surroundings, the reactions shown to Turkey's S-400 purchase to strengthen its air defense are very interesting.
