Создаваемая в Турции система противоракетной обороны не будет интегрирована в систему НАТО. Об этом, как передает Reuters, заявил министр обороны страны Исмет Йылмаз. Разработка турецкой ПРО ведется при содействии Китая, который в 2013 году выиграл тендер T-LORAMIDS (Turkish Long Range Air And Missile Defence System) на поставку Турции зенитно-ракетных систем средней и большой дальности.
Отвечая на парламентский запрос, турецкий министр обороны отметил, что китайская заявка оказалась лучшей. По сведениям из других источников, ключевым преимуществом HQ-9 оказалась меньшая цена при приемлемых характеристиках. Под давлением партнеров по НАТО Турция продлевала тендер, однако решение о выборе китайской системы в итоге осталось неизменным.
Сообщалось, что по итогам тендера Турция приобретет не менее 12 комплектов (дивизионов) зенитно-ракетной системы (ЗРС) HQ-9, разработанной и производимой так называемой «Второй Академией» китайской государственной корпорации China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC). HQ-9 является китайским аналогом советского/российского семейства ЗРС С-300П. Ряд источников, в том числе российский военный блог bmpd, отмечает, что разработка HQ-9 могла стать плодом сотрудничества китайских и российских предприятий.
Другими претендентами в тендере T-LORAMIDS на заключительных этапах выступали представленная альянсом Raytheon и Lockheed Martin ЗРС Patriot (комбинация РАС-2 GMT и РАС-3), представленная европейским консорциумом Eurosam ЗРС SAMP/T (с ЗУР Aster 30 Block 1) и представленная ОАО "Рособоронэкспорт" ЗРС С-300ВМ «Антей-2500». Ранее "Рособоронэкспорт" отказался от продвижения Турции ЗРС С-400, предлагавшейся на ранних этапах тендера.
Представители НАТО неоднократно открыто предостерегали Турцию от выбора российского или китайского предложений, мотивируя это возможными проблемами интеграции «незападных» комплексов в объединенную систему ПВО НАТО.

On attend la confirmation officielle. Quoiqu'il en soit, la Turquie a déjà cédé une fois à la pression de l'OTAN et a rouvert l'appel d'offre après avoir annoncé le choix sur le système chinois, si malgré cela le choix final est toujours chinois, ce sera tout de même une belle gifle. Il n'est pas exclut que ce deal de 3,4 Md de dollar soit également un moyen de pression politique sur l'Occident suite au bordel laissé par ce dernier...Published time: February 19, 2015 14:49

The Turkish military is determined to buy long-range anti-missile systems from China, even though they wouldn’t be compatible with NATO weapons. Security concerns have been raised by other members of the alliance.
Defense Minister Ismet Yilmaz, in a written statement to the parliament, gave an assurance that the contract would go ahead.
"The project will be financed with foreign financing. Work on assessing the bids has been completed and no new official bid was received," the minister said.
"The system in question will be integrated with the national system for Turkey's defense and will be used without integrating with NATO," he added.
However, later an official for Turkey's Defense Industries told Reuters that Turkey had not taken a final decision on the contract and talks with China were continuing.
An arms procurement committee in Turkey chose the bid from China's Precision Machinery Import and Export Corp in 2013. The state-owned firm requested $3.4 billion for its FD-2000 system, the export derivative of HQ-9. Turkey needs the system for its national long-range air defense project, which Ankara first announced in 2006.
Competing bids for the Turkish contract were placed by US defense contractor Raytheon, the producer of the Patriot missile system, and Franko-Italian firm Eurosam with its SAMP/T system.
The tender is expected to be finalized later this year. Some Turkish media suggest that the announcement will come on April 24, the date of the commemoration of the 1915 genocide of Armenians by the Ottoman Empire.
Ankara doesn’t consider it genocide, merely calling it the “1915 incidents.” There have been ongoing diplomatic battles for years to make other countries share Turkey’s point of view. The lucrative air defense contract may serve as Ankara’s bargaining chip with the US and France, whereby they might reconsider their choice of antimissile system suppler in exchange for concessions on the genocide issue, reports suggest.
Earlier the media said that the Turkish government was in consultations with Paris over the deal, which some defense experts think is a hint that the selections of the Chinese product may be overturned.

China carried out a flight test of its new JL-2 submarine-launched ballistic missile last month, highlighting Beijing’s nuclear buildup of missile submarines. The JL-2 flight test took place Jan. 23, according to defense officials familiar with details of the test.
No details of the test were available. China in the past has conducted JL-2 flight tests from the Bohai Sea.
Pentagon spokesman Lt. Col. Jeff Pool declined to comment on the test. But Lt. Col. Pool said the JL-2 was discussed in the Pentagon’s most recent annual report on the Chinese military as one part of the People’s Liberation Army Navy’s “first credible long-range sea-based nuclear deterrent.”
The JL-2 test took place, coincidentally, on the same day that North Korea conducted what Pentagon officials said was the first flight test of a developmental submarine-launched ballistic missile called the KN-11. Officials said there did not appear to be any linkage between the two tests.
The congressional U.S.-China Economic Security and Review Commission stated in its latest annual report that the JL-2 is part of China’s expanding strategic nuclear forces and appears to have reached initial operating capability.
“The JL-2’s range of approximately 4,598 miles gives China the ability to conduct nuclear strikes against Alaska if launched from waters near China; against Alaska and Hawaii if launched from waters south of Japan; against Alaska, Hawaii and the western portion of the continental United States if launched from waters west of Hawaii; and against all 50 U.S. states if launched from waters east of Hawaii,” the report said.
