Russia says the US threats to Egypt for the possible purchase of Russian Su-35 fighter jets are an example of aggressive behavior.

In a statement, Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said the United States is promoting its geopolitical interests by imposing ready-made solutions on other countries rather than by using the principles of free competition.

She said that Turkey which is a NATO member has made its choice in favor of Russian S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems, despite US intimidation.
