November 8, 201213 yr Several of the wire services are carrying a report that Turkey may be in the process of requesting NATO long-range PATRIOT surface-to-air missile batteries to be deployed in its border areas to enforce Turkish air sovereignty, guarantee the refugee camps, and possibly to create a undeclared no-fly-zone in Syrian airspace. It would be interesting to see if it was a European deployment of PATRIOT, which I think would be a first; or if the US would deploy units. http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/11/08/syria-crisis-turkey-border-idUSL5E8M8BWP20121108
