Begin are to leak the first details of the new NATO mission "to help increase the capacity of the air defense of Turkey against potential Russian threats". What is technically called "air defense package" includes AWACS systems, armed hunters, Patriot missiles and increased naval presence.

Just at this time the organization is working on ways, runtimes and appliances. What are countermeasures to deter possible Russian aggression, now it seems out of the question due to the crisis between Ankara and Moscow, culminating in the overthrow of the Russian Su-24.

The Kremlin, it should be remembered, commenting the episode has repeatedly spoken of "revenge." The latter, according to the Russians, not merely to trade sanctions. Germany has already announced the deployment of an AWACS platform. Boeing E-3 Sentry was transferred from Geilenkirchen in a Turkish air base in the central province of Anatolia, the Konya Air Base. Since last October, the US Patriot in Turkey were removed from the US for maintenance. Missile systems that the Pentagon would not rischierato, authorizing NATO to defend the airspace turkish.

Missile batteries from Germany and the Netherlands had been deployed in the province of Kahramanmaras, in the south of Turkey, 100 km north of the border with Syria, in early 2013. The redeployment was needed after Ankara asked the Alliance more air protection and assistance. Earlier this year, the government in Berlin said it would not renew the mandate Patriot in Turkey.

Currently turkish airspace is defended under the aegis of NATO Patriot missiles supplied by Spain stationed in the southern province of Adana, near the military base in Incirlik (home of the US fighter-bombers deployed against the Isis). Whereas every NATO country must do its part to protect the ally turkish, we already assumed the role of Italy. The Italian Government, in fact, might be "called" to provide hunting armed function Air Policing. The decision of the Organization was adopted on December 18 last. Still expects the operating plan.

Currently, this effort of NATO to protect Turkey. Spain: Patriot missiles. Germany: AWACS systems and surface vessels currently deployed in the Eastern Mediterranean. Denmark: naval patrol in the eastern Mediterranean. Italy: Air Policing?
