NATO expects to derive from Turkey missile Patriot
NATO expects to derive from Turkey the Patriot missiles. This decision is connected with the export of Syria's chemical weapons.
Germany, the United States and the Netherlands plan to withdraw anti-aircraft missile systems (SAMS) Patriot with Turkey by the end of 2014. It is supposed to see this issue at the next NATO summit, which will take place in England.

The decision to deploy to Turkey, near the border with Syria Patriot complexes was accepted to NATO in the beginning of December 2012. Missiles designed to reflect the probable air raids and missile attacks from areas of Syria. The complexes were deployed in Turkey in early January 2013, but before introduction it never came, informs Spiegel-Online.
The explanation for output ADMS from Turkey is the precedent that Syrian already taken chemical weapons. Therefore contain the terrain Turkey's system of air defense (PVO) excessively.
On other data, the primary cause of the collapse of the air defence systems on areas of Turkey lies in the lack of professionals at the service of the Patriot SAMS military contingents Germany and the Netherlands. This fact is imposed in addition to the need to maintain the material base complexes. Similar challenges make the accommodation programme on Turkish territory to-air missile Patriot highly unattractive for States to NATO.
Patriot is to protect the airspace of Turkey from possible invasion from the territory of Syria. The complexes were deployed in 2013, but before introduction it never came. Germany, the United States and the Netherlands expect to get rid of the burden of hosting data ZRK, because there are serious doubts as to their necessity. Also, there are obvious difficulties with servicing of the Patriot forces military contingent Germany and the Netherlands.
