Turkey has agreed to pay $2.5 billion to acquire Russia\u2019s most advanced missile defense system,\u00a0a senior Turkish official said, in a deal that signals a turn away from the NATO military alliance that has anchored Turkey to the West for more than six decades.<\/p>\n

The preliminary agreement sees Turkey receiving two S-400 missile batteries from Russia within the next year, and then producing another two inside Turkey, according to the Turkish official, who asked not to be named because of the sensitivity of the matter. A spokesman for Russia\u2019s arms-export company Rosoboronexport OJSC<\/a> said he couldn\u2019t immediately comment on details of a deal with Turkey.<\/p>\n

Turkey has reached the point of an agreement on a missile defense system before, only to scupper the deal later amid protests and condemnation from NATO. Under pressure from the U.S., Turkey gave up an earlier plan to buy a similar missile-defense system from a state-run Chinese company, which had been sanctioned by the U.S. for alleged missile sales to Iran.<\/p>\n
