Turkey is concerned over the development of missiles by Iran that can reach most of Turkey, and is believed to favor a two-tier defense system. The first layer would be provided by the US Army Theater High-Altitude Area Defense system and/or the Navy Theater Wide system. The second layer would be provided by Army Patriot missiles or the Navy Area Wide system. Israel is known to be pushing hard to sell its Arrow anti-missile to Istanbul.--Stephen V Cole
