Have to get ready for work but here's what I found out and I hope it helps. Turkey DOES NOT have any Patriot batteries. They currently are using MIM-23 HAWK and MIM-14 NIKE HERCULES for air defence. Under Clinton a proposed sale of 2 batteries was made however it was -sorry- shotdown for political reasons. They were deployed by NATO twice for both Gulf Wars and have just recently been removed from Turkey. Turkey as of May-June is in talks with us for the sale of the Patriot w/PAC-3 loadout and Russians for the S-400 Trumf system. Because of the positive responce to Obama by the Turks and allilence to NATO the Patriot seems to be the front runner. The political cost to the current Russian government for buying the S-400 might be more then the Turks want to deal with.
Have a great day!
