Turkey Knows 'where All Syria Missiles Located'
2012-12-06
[An Nahar] Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said in remarks published Wednesday that Ankara knows the "exact location" of hundreds of ground missiles belonging to the regime of Syrian Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad
Despoiler of Deraa...

"Assad has about 700 missiles... Now we know the exact location of all of them, how they are stored and who holds them," Davutoglu was quoted as saying by the Sabah newspaper.

The comments emerged the day after NATO
...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It's headquartered in Belgium. That sez it all....
ministers approved Turkey's request for deployment of Patriot missiles along its volatile border with Syria, a move that has angered Damascus
...The City of Jasmin is the oldest continuously-inhabited city in the world. It has not always been inhabited by the same set of fascisti...
and its allies.

Davutoglu said the international community feared possible attacks from Damascus against countries such as Turkey which were pushing for the toppling of the regime, if it felt the end was near.

"We say to anyone who would want to attack Turkey -- don't even think about it," NATO head Anders Fogh Rasmussen said in announcing the alliance's decision on the Patriots, a U.S.-made ground to air system.

The number of missile batteries and their precise location have yet to be decided and will be determined after a site survey in Turkey and consultations within NATO.

Syria reportedly has several types of ballistic missiles, including Russian-made Scuds.

#3  Yah, the Israelis really need a sale, too bad Erdogan's worked his way onto the "If he were on fire I wouldn't be in a hurry to take a diuretic" list.

#2  Most of the Syrian surf to surface stuff are cheap Russian rockets with zero or near zero guidance. However, launch/rocket package is fairly easy to tow on trucks.

The defense against these is to kill the vehicle while it is moving.

the Patriot really isn't suited for point defense against anything that gets launched. The Rafael (iron dome) is.
