"Shipments for the supply of the second battery, transport activities will begin from tomorrow," said National Defense Minister Hulusi Akar.
 
The first batch of the S-400 air defense system, which Turkey acquired from Russia and began delivery on 12 July, had been completed.
 
Turkey will receive the second batch of the Russian S-400 missile system on Tuesday, Minister of Defence Hulusi Akar has said.
 
Ankara received its first supply of S-400 missiles in July, despite a warning by the United States about possible sanctions.
 
The acquisition of the highly-advanced air defence system has led to a standoff between Turkey and its NATO allies, especially the US.
 
Deliveries of the system are set to continue until April 2020.
 
The modular S-400 is seen as one of the most advanced missile systems in the world, capable of tracking several targets simultaneously and ready to be fired within minutes.
