On July 20, a suicide bomber belonging to the Islamic State group\u00a0<span class=\"rte rte-comment\">of Iraq and Syria (ISIL) Islamic State, or IS)<\/span> killed 33 pro-Kurdish activists in a small Turkish town on the Syrian border.\u00a0Also in July, the Islamic State (IS),\u00a0firing from Syria, killed a<span class=\"rte rte-comment\">one<\/span> Turkish officer. And on Sept. 1, another IS\u00a0firing killed a\u00a0Turkish soldier in Kilis, southeastern Turkey.<br\/> \u00a0<br\/> &#8220;Border security primarily against IS infiltration has become a vital issue especially after we joined the coalition campaign against the [IS] terrorists,&#8221; <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">one<\/span>a senior military officer said.\u00a0<br\/> \u00a0<br\/> Late in August, Turkey formally joined the allied fighting against IS, using its own fighter aircraft to bomb IS strongholds in Syria.\u00a0<br\/> \u00a0<br\/> &#8220;That has exposed Turkey to the risk of IS terrorist attacks inside Turkey,&#8221; <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">said <\/span>one security analyst said. &#8220;Border security has now become essential to counter such a threat. IS, in case it decides to hit Turkey, must coordinate any attack between its cells inside Turkey and militants in Syria. Such potential coordination must be cut off before established.&#8221;<br\/> \u00a0<br\/> Border security is not only a Turkish issue.\u00a0US Defense Secretary\u00a0Ash Carter said on Aug. 20 that Turkey must &#8220;do more&#8221; to help in the fight against the IS.\u00a0Carter welcomed Turkey\u2019s decision to join the allied campaign against IS but specifically called out the need for Turkey to secure its border with Syria <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">in order<\/span> to stop the trafficking of logistical supplies and terrorists.<br\/> \u00a0<br\/> Turkish Finance Minister Mehmet Simsek has said that an initial 203 million liras (US $68.7 million) would be immediately appropriated to augment the plan. That will be used mainly to build concrete walls along designated zones on the border<span class=\"rte rte-comment\">, as well as<\/span> and install barbed wire. But the Turkish shopping list is broader than that.<br\/> \u00a0<br\/> &#8220;We may have to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on this in the next few years,&#8221; a procurement official familiar with the plan said. <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">\u2026<\/span> &#8220;There will be several different components that will eventually be integrated.&#8221; <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">said one procurement official familiar with the plan.<\/span><br\/> \u00a0<br\/> He said the shopping list would include &#8220;any equipment or system the s<span class=\"rte rte-comment\">S<\/span>pecial f<span class=\"rte rte-comment\">F<\/span>orces would be in need of for this asymmetrical warfare.&#8221;\u00a0<br\/> \u00a0<br\/> In addition, systems that would locate and track terrorists and their border crossings would be prioritized.<br\/> \u00a0<br\/> Other potential acquisitions would include mine detection systems, anti-IED equipment, surveillance aircraft, cameras, sensors and drones.<br\/> \u00a0<br\/> As part of the plan, Turkey plans to arm its first indigenous drone, the Anka, with a homemade\u00a0laser-guided missile with a six-kilometer\u00a0range, the Bozok. The Anka, a medium-altitude long-endurance platform, <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">has been<\/span>\u00a0was developed and built by Tusas Turkish Aerospace Industries.\u00a0<br\/> \u00a0<br\/> The Bozok <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">has been<\/span> was developed by state scientific research institute TUBITAK\u2019s defense industry research and development unit, SAGE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
