NATO is set to deploy an air defence system in Türkiye’s Konya province as part of efforts to strengthen the security of the country’s airspace, according to Turkish broadcaster TRT Haber. The report said the decision was made in coordination with NATO allies amid continuing regional tensions. The deployment is expected to enhance Türkiye’s ability to monitor and respond to potential threats. No details have been released regarding the type of system to be deployed or the timeline for its installation. Earlier, Türkiye’s Ministry of National Defence said it had intensified measures to protect the country’s airspace and had held consultations with NATO on the regional security situation. In March, a Patriot air defence missile system was deployed in Türkiye’s Malatya province to support the country’s air and missile defence capabilities.
