According to information provided by two allied officers, it has been revealed that the United States has been planning to send two Patriot missile batteries as well as 400 military personals Turkey. All this is being planned to make sure that Turkey has back up support if Syria announces missile attack.

America is not alone, which has been providing Patriot batteries to Turkey. It has been found that four other batteries will be provided to Syria, two will be from Germany and other two will from the Netherlands.

It shall be noted that all six batteries being sent by three nations will remain under control of NATO. Turkey was quite upset as it believes that it does not have strong missile support. Things got even more intense when news was revealed about activities taking place at Syria's chemical sites.

It was in last week when NATO ministers said that it has been decided by them that Patriot batteries will be sent to Turkey. For now, deployment preparations are going on for surveys of potential sites. In total, 10 sites have been surveyed, majority of them are in southeastern Turkey. Final decision is still to be taken.
