Turkey can leave Russia without money for the C-400, and without the air defense systems themselves.

Amid Russian intervention in the Syrian-Turkish conflict, analysts speculate that in the event of opposition from the Russian military to the Turkish army, Ankara may refuse to pay a loan for the Russian S-400 air defense systems and refuse to return these air defense systems to Russia.

“The Russians could“ control ”Erdogan until the C-400 ended up in Turkey. There are serious assumptions that Ankara may refuse to repay the previously issued loan and retain C-400 as compensation ”, - an analyst from the USA expresses his opinion.

It should be clarified that to date, Russia has completed the supply of S-400 air defense systems to Turkey, however, at the moment, air defense systems are only being prepared for deployment and cannot be used.

It should be noted that the Russian military has already occupied Manbij and created a no-fly zone within a radius of 50 kilometers from the city, which in turn puts an end to Turkish air strikes in the northern regions of Syria.
