According to Der Spiegel, German authorities plan to allocate almost 30 million euros for the construction of a German airstrip and accommodations for its soldiers on the territory of the Incirlik Air Base.
The project is scheduled to be implemented before the end of 2017, Der Spiegel reported.
In the next six months, Germany is due to earmark 10 million euros for the construction of an airfield for its Tornado fighter jets as well as fueling planes. Also, the German Defense Ministry plans to allot another 15 million euros for the construction of barracks for 400 soldiers, plus another 4.5 million euros for the construction of a recreation site in the area.
Several Tornado reconnaissance combat aircraft are involved in the mission, as well as a frigate to support the French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle in the Mediterranean Sea.
On November 25, German Chancellor Angela Merkel pledged to support France's anti-Daesh campaign following the deadly Paris attacks that claimed the lives of 130 people earlier that month.
