Media: a shootout between planes of the Greek and Turkish Air Force

60
The AirNews portal reports that the day before there was an incident in the airspace of Greece over the Aegean Sea. According to the portal, six Turkish Air Force planes, two of which carried weapons, violated the borders of Greek airspace several times. The fighters of the Greek Air Force were raised to intercept. If you believe airnews, then there was a "skirmish" between Turkish and Greek planes. Who opened fire first is not reported.

Media: a shootout between planes of the Greek and Turkish Air Force


As a result, Turkish aircraft left the airspace of the Greek state.

It should be recalled that both Turkey and Greece are members of the North Atlantic military bloc (NATO), and according to the charter of the alliance itself must be allies to each other. However, the case of Greece and Turkey is one of those in which differences within the bloc have manifested themselves for several decades. For example, the problem of Northern Cyprus has not been settled between the Turks and Greeks, for example. In addition, Greece at one time began building a wall on the border with Turkey as a barrier for Turkish migrants.

      One thing I don’t understand is why Turkey is suddenly climbing into all the holes? Now to Syria, now to Greece. Does she think a lot about herself?

        I don’t understand one thing - why does Turkey suddenly climb into all the holes? Now to Syria, now to Greece

        A bit of history:
        The Lausanne Peace Treaty was signed between Turkey on the one hand and the allies and Greece on the other in 1923, according to which Greece and the Entente countries completely abandoned their claims to Western Anatolia and Eastern Thrace.
        About one and a half million Greeks were forcibly evicted from Turkey in exchange for the eviction (also forced) of 600 Muslims from Greece. The losses of the completely defeated Greek army exceeded 000 thousand killed and 40 thousand wounded. Hundreds of thousands of civilians were also killed. Material losses did not lend themselves to accounting at all. All this allowed the Greeks to call the events of the autumn of 50 the Asia Minor catastrophe.

        The Greeks, on the other hand, have the S-300, it was necessary not to send fighters to intercept (an hour of flight of one F-16 would cost $ 23000), but to wait until the Turkish fighters enter Greek airspace and shoot down the S-300.

      Erdogan has never grovelled before the United States, unlike the rest of the alliance. Perhaps he understands that NATO needs Turkey more than Turkey's NATO (primarily because of the geographical location of Turkey, the bulk of the alliance countries are in Europe and Scandinavia, in the southeast only Turkey).

    There, it happens all the time. There was an incident with the use of weapons in 1996, two Greek aircraft intercepted six Turkish F16s and one dropped at sea, in 2006. The Greek pilot rammed the Turk, both planes were killed, unfortunately, the Greek pilot was also killed. The Turks are constantly heating up the situation, although they should have remembered how little Greece in 1922 almost sent Turkey into history, unfortunately this did not correspond to the interests of the great powers.

    The Turks decided to check whether the Greek aviation still had money for kerosene. Obviously, the matter was not done without coordination with the NATO command. Greece will now be punished for a long time and demonstratively for "separatism in the EU." It turned out that the entrance to the EU is one euro cent and the exit is one hundred billion euros. But what prospects for a carefree life were promised for free! This is how to gamble with the IMF. The IMF is an international pharmaceutical company without its own funds. They take someone else's, place them at interest, so they live. In the vicinity of Greece, "violent" will still be found in the same former Yugoslavia there are. From there they will soon "tickle" so that hold on, Hellas!

      No, it's not about the empire. The current tension is the result of the last Greco-Turkish war of 1919-1922. It is called the War of Independence in Turkey. Then Greece won and grabbed all the islands from Turkey. The Turks remembered this and began to prepare for their return to Turkey. Therefore, World War II happened. After her, the countries (both) entered NATO, which did not allow them to fight. Now the US is weakening and Turkey has decided to defeat Greece and reclaim the islands in the Aegean. And at the same time a piece of the territory of Turkey that went to Greece as a result of the war of 2-1919.

    Turks dream of an empire. Just like the Russians. Sooner or later, these dreams will meet in the steppes of Central Asia. It will be an interesting meeting: Armata vs Altay

    Don't dream, the meeting will take place, but on the banks of the Rhine wink , will we fight?

    What's so surprising about that? if it were not for the mass media (mass media and the Internet), if not the history of a good part of the commentators, they would not have known about the centuries-old enmity and clashes of the neighboring "allies" of Greece and Turkey. Even during the existence of the USSR and the Internal Affairs Directorate, the military doctrines of these states were aimed against each other, the main forces of both armies and fleets were concentrated not against the neighboring NRB (People's Republic of Bulgaria), not against the Soviet Transcaucasia and on the Black Sea, the main theater of operations for them should were to become the water area of ​​the Aegean Sea with numerous islands, the northeastern part of the Mediterranean with the islands of Cyprus, Rhodes and Crete, and of course the European part of Turkey (including Istanbul), separated from most of the country by the Sea of ​​Marmara and the Bosphorus and Dardanelles straits.
