I do not see what the purchase of the S-400 systems by Turkey has to do with what we are talking about?
There is no requirement in the NATO charter that a NATO member cannot purchase equipment from Russia. The only law/regulation violated by Turkey due to the purchase is a US law "Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act" which was passed by the US in December 2020. This is not a NATO regulation, although various NATO nations have gone along with it since. If NATO was actually at war with Russia this would be very different.

Incidentally, Turkey signed the S-400 purchase agreement in 2017.

Another super weapon. This will also be interesting to watch, and see how long it remains almost 'impossible to shoot down'.
