Dutch Patriots to Turkey |
|
The Dutch start the transport of the Patriot missiles to Turkey for the NATO protection of the cities close to the border of Syria. The Turkish government asked for extra NATO protection because over the last months some missiles have landed in Turkey causing damage and even casualties. The Patriot system can detect a missile and shoot it out of the sky. On a Dutch army base the Patriot systems, soldiers and extra's leave for the Eems harbour in the north of the Netherlands to be shipped to Turkey. The Dutch general and responsible commander give a press conference to explain what the NATO mission, with the name Anatolian Protector, exactly means in practice. After the pressconference a Patriot system is demonstrated just besides the airstrip where the convoys are gathering and departing.
