All NATO Awacs currently fly out of Germany, and canpatrol as necessary from there.

This move is designed to give Turkish bases protection by stationing German NATO troops/aircraft there.

Turkey is not our friend. They scr**** us during the Gulf War and no longer have a secular government.

Nato dispatches Awacs planes and troops to protect Turkish airspace over Russia spat

And by the way to collect hundreds of terabytes of ELINT about the radar, radar defense, and communications systems used by both sides.

This is bad. Turkey would love to provoke something and drag us into a conflict with Russia.
Islam is what matters.

Maybe it’s to protect from a Kurdish airstrike. /sarc

NATO surely realizes Turkey is also one to be watched, not just Russia.
What goes on in the air as well as what’s going on on the ground .. Like ISIS oil tanker destinations, weapons and troop movements.

Turkey has no business being in NATO. And neither does the USA.

Anyone ordered to shoot at a Russian plane should refuse.

Our government runs in such a Byzantine manner at this point, I have no doubt we will end in the same way.

Isn’t Turkey putting ISIS oil on the market? Aren’t they supplying arms and sanctuary to those vicious, murderous junkies? Didn’t Kerry make a deal with Putin to leave Assad in power?

I can’t keep track of this disaster. It’s very confusing.

Or, is this a deal NATO made with Turkey? They will stop the Islamic migration from their shores to Europe, if we threaten Russia with our presence.

Russia has threatened only economic sanctions on Turkey, or retaliation IF TURKEY VIOLATES SYRIAN AIRSPACE or a Russian aircraft in SYRIA

Now how is AWACS going to “prevent” an incident? By controlling Erdogan?

TURKEY IS THE AGGRESSOR HERE
and Erdogan is nuts

In other news, President Kennedy has sent military advisers to South Vietnam to help the freedom loving people of that great nation.

It’s also possible that this is being done simply to referee the he-said/she-said BS between Turkey and Russia: neither one is particularly credible. Not to mention, now that someone is looking that knows what they are actually looking at, probably neither side will be playing these kinds of games again.
