Ankara: Turkey on Tuesday received the second batch of the equipment of Russian made S-400 defence system.
The country's Defence Ministry said, "The second batch of components of S-400 missile defence system has arrived at Murted Air Base near Ankara."
"The delivery process will continue for around one month," it added.
The first batch of the S-400 defence system was delivered from Russia to Turkey in July and completed on July 25.
Ankara signed a contract with Moscow in April 2017 to purchase the advanced S-400 systems.
Tensions between the US and Turkey have escalated ever since over the deal as Washington claims that the S-400 system would be incompatible with the NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) system and may expose its confidential military information to Russia.
Washington has repeatedly threatened to halt Turkey's purchase of F-35 fighters if Ankara goes ahead with the delivery of the S-400s.
