Turkey says NATO deploying more defenses to guard southern base

(Reuters/Al Arabiya) NATO is deploying another US Patriot missile defense system to the southern Turkish province of Adana, where personnel from the United States and other countries are located in the Incirlik Air Base, Turkey’s Defense Ministry said on Wednesday. Turkey, which has NATO’s second-largest army and neighbors Iran, said last week the alliance had deployed a Patriot system to its southeastern Malatya province, near a NATO radar base, as part of steps to boost air defenses against missile threats from the Iran war. – Turkey says NATO deploying more defenses to guard southern base
