ABSTRACT
This study aims to explain the reasons for Turkey to purchase Russian S-400 missiles which have reached payment transactions in 2019, amidst Turkey's existence as a member of NATO and an American ally. Turkey's decision to purchase Russian S-400 ballistic missile weapons has been classified as a unilateral move that violates the alliance agreement with the United States. Meanwhile, on the other hand, Turkey's decision to join in the purchase of Russian S-400 missile weapons is needed to make a good impact in relation to Turkey and Russia's future relations. This study is using several theories, such as: Geopolitics, International Politics, National Interests, and Balance of Threat. This research tries to explain the existence of several engagements from Russia that made Turkey decide to buy S-400 weapons. Turkey views cooperation with Russia as a way to prevent and minimize conflicts with Russia in the future.
