The United States has officially lifted its objections to Turkey's deployment of the S-400 air defense system, as confirmed by the Turkish Defense Minister. This decision allows Turkey to place the Russia-made S-400 'Triumf' systems on combat duty, which can be operational within 12 hours. The announcement marks a significant shift in U.S.-Turkey relations regarding defense systems, particularly following Turkey's acquisition of the S-400 from Russia, which had previously led to tensions between the two nations.
