US Patriot missile battery crews arrive in Turkey

A group of 27 US troops has arrived in Turkey to operate NATO Patriot surface-to-air (SAM) missile batteries. At least six of those will be deployed along the country’s border with Syria.
The troops arrived in the southeastern province of Gaziantep on Thursday and were taken to a local hotel by Turkish security forces, local media reported.
Their first task will be to survey the sites where the Patriot missiles are to be deployed, after they are fully delivered.
