Turkish officials are considering whether to deploy Patriot missiles along its southern border with Syria. Turkey's foreign minister Ahmet Davutoglu was quoted by Turkish media as saying the country may look for Patriot missiles to install along its border with Syria in order to protect Syrian insurgents. Placing missile batteries by the border could create a no-fly zone as Patriot missiles have a range of at least 40 miles.
