In a sign that Turkey and the United States have kissed and made up, the US state department has approved a sale to Turkey of 80 Patriot MIM-104E Guidance Enhanced (GEM-T) missiles and 60 PAC-3 Missile Segment Enhancement (MSE) missiles for $3.5 billion.



The Patriot missile sale means that Turkey could be re-considering its purchase of the S-400 air defence system from Russia. Ankara had bought the S-400 after Washington had refused permission to sell Patriot missile defence system.
