A couple air bases inside the country as at times a limited deployment of some air defenses turkey hasnt got much but when you look at what turkey has given nato whether it be supporting the afghanistan operation whether it be supporting kosovo or bosnia and when you look at the Turkish Military nato 2nd largest army you see a army with a very high operational capacity and a heavy experience when it comes to hot conflicts geopolitically turkey is the long arm of nato that extends deep into these hot conflict zones and gives need to a border where it can operate militarily in these areas very very comfortably but what does turkey gotten out of it were seeing that turkey has been isolated right now especially in syria when it has a Serious National Security threat most namely the presence of the syrian arm of the u.
