Turkey Patriot Missiles To Be Operational In Feb, Says NATO
Turkey-based Patriot missile system will be deployed before February, NATO announced on Monday. The deployment will help protect Turkey from any kind of conflict spill over from neighboring Syria.
According to NATO, troop and material transportation, which commenced in early January, will continue over the next couple of weeks.
Turkey requested the missile system in November 2012 after several villagers along the Syrian border died as a result of short-range, scud-style ballistic missile assaults by the Syrian Government forces.
The Patriot SAM-D system is one of the most advanced, long-range, high-altitude, all-weather defense systems used by countries worldwide, including NATO and its allies.
Its reliability and lethality, enables advanced threat defeats of aircraft, tactical ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and UAVs. The missile also enables existing systems architecture integration.
