Turkey to establish anti-missile system

Turkey will establish eight long-range anti-missile systems, a defense industry undersecratary told on Sunday the state-run Anatolian Agency.


Turkish officials are having talks with four candidate countries including, Russia, the United States, China and Israel, for the purchase of the necessary batteries, Murad Bayar told the agency.

In the first package, Turkey plans to purchase four batteries, he added.

Two of the systems would be deployed in Istanbul and Ankara, while two others would be positioned according to any possible threat, under the project which is planned to come into force in 2010, Bayar said.

Turkey currently has only short and middle-range anti missile systems.

Wonder who is threatening Turkey with an airstrike? Or is it just that they're trying to extend their "reach"

The Turks are probably afraid of the mighty Kurdish airforce and obviously need these missiles to protect their peace-loving country...

They are peace-seeking long range missiles ....

Hmm, I wonder what objections the UK and the US have made about this??

Because when the RoC wanted the SS300 missiles to DEFEND itself, the british government most vehemently objected as did the US.

Just goes to show, double standards, hypocricy, and down right support for Turkey.

Maybe the Turks have been hearing all this GR war talk and have decided to re-arm ithemselves just in case. A country of 70m+ population where 67m+ are starving, homeless, uneducated, lacking all infrastructure, the pathetic Turks spend their money on useless weapons instead of taking care of their people.

Can someone tell me how much 200m YTL equates to? Bacause this is the amount they won't give to the puppet state, but will willingly spend 100 times this for missiles, god bless them.

God help humanity if these criminals get their hands on these weapons, and certain people here are worried about Iran. jesus Christ!

I think Pantheman is right , Gr's talk about deep penetration of Southern Turkey has had its effect. !!

[humanist]

I completely agree ... I think the Turks get their ideas from this Forum .... I have seen many quotes now directly related to discussions on here, and after we have brought them up and pulled the connections together!
