*MONDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2014Salon crawls to AlterNet:* For many years,

Will Turkey stick with Chinese missile defense deal?
[image: HQ-9 (FD-2000) long range sam]After Turkey decided in 2006 to
procure a long-range air and anti-missile defense system known as
T-Loramids, a long and a hot contest pitched the US PAC-3 Patriot, Russian
S-400, French/Italian SAMP/T and Chinese HQ-9 models. Raytheon-Lockheed
Martin of the US and European Eurosam companies made particular efforts to
win Ankara’s favor.
While everyone was expecting one of these two companies to win the
contract, in September 2013 a bombshell hit the agenda when Turkey decided
