Nato members agreed to a Ballistic Missile Defence system over Europe to protect against future Iranian ballistic missiles. A compromise not to pinpoint Iran was reached with Turkey, which had threatened to block the deal if its neighbour was named as a threat.
Under NATO plans, a system of US SM-3 missile interceptors and radars already planned for Europe – to include interceptors in Romania and Poland as well as the radar in Turkey – would be linked to expanded European-owned missile defences. That would create a broad system that protected every NATO country against med-range missile attacks.
Turkey agreed to host the AN/TPY-2 X-band radar and later on the phased array AN/SPY-1D combined E-band, F-band, S-band and X-band radar in the framework of NATO missile defence architecture. The site is located at a military installation in Kürecik which was used in the past for similar purposes. The radar system was activated in January 2012.
