Turkey announced the successful "destruction" of three American F-35s purchased from Russia S-400.

The Turkish military reports that the S-400 air defense systems previously acquired from Russia were able to successfully detect and conditionally destroy at least three American fifth-generation F-35 fighters. The latter, allegedly, flew at a distance of several hundred kilometers from the Turkish border, however, this did not prevent the discovery of stealth fighters.

“It turned out that the Turkish S-400 anti-aircraft missile system deployed in the Mediterranean Sea repeatedly detected signals from NATO F-35 fighters. ... the final result of the confrontation was three out of three successful interceptions of the S-400. Analysts noted that the ability of the S-400 air defense system to detect traces of the F-35 fighter has always been the subject of discussion by military experts from different countries. In the future, if the F-35 stealth fighter succeeds in detecting the S-400, then NATO strategies must be adjusted so as not to be exposed. ", - the media reported, citing the Turkish military.

In fact, Turkey has confirmed the ability of the Russian S-400s to counter fifth-generation American fighters, which will force the US to abandon the use of these combat aircraft in the S-400 deployment areas, not to mention the fact that the Russian Triumphs will seriously damage the reputation of the fighter and the Pentagon.
