He also slammed a reaction from NATO allies over Ankara’s recent decision to purchase S-400 missile systems from Russia, stating that there had “gone crazy” over the deal.

“They went crazy just because we made the S-400 deal. What were we supposed to do? Wait for you? We are taking care of ourselves. We are taking security measures and will continue to do so,” Erdoğan said.

“America and Israel were always very reluctant to give their unmanned air vehicle products.“
