Ships carrying Patriot missile systems from Germany and the Netherlands to be deployed in Turkey arrived on Monday according to media reports.
A Denmark-flagged Suecia Seaways ship has already started to unload military vehicles sent from Germany in the port of İskenderun in the southern province of Hatay.
Along with military vehicles, there are 130 containers of military equipment.
The Gibraltar-flagged ship the Louise Russ, carrying Patriots sent from Germany docked in İskenderun on Sunday night but has not started to unload its shipment.
The Patriot missile batteries will be deployed in Turkey as part of a NATO decision to support Turkey's air defense against a missile threat from Syria.
Nearly 250 Dutch troops and army officers left Eindhoven airport for Adana to be stationed for one year as part of NATO's decision to deploy Patriot missile systems on the Turkish-Syrian border. Dutch Land Forces Commander Mart de Kruif also attended the farewell ceremony for troops. Two Dutch Patriot missile batteries already in Turkey are expected to be operational on Jan. 26.
