This week, Chinese defense firm CPMIEC beat out US, Russian, and European firms to supply Turkey with a new air defense system. The FD-2000 is a modern SAM system based on a Russian design and priced to make headway in defense markets. The US expressed serious concerns to Turkey about the sale since CPMIEC is under US sanctions for arms proliferation to Syria, North Korea, and Iran. A US State Department official said that talks with Turkey over the sale would continue.
