Greece: If Greek air defense shot down Turkish aircraft for all violations of Greek airspace, then the Turkish Air Force would no longer have airplanes

78
The strike inflicted by the Turkish Air Force on the Russian Su-24 bomber, whose crew acted within the framework of the anti-terrorist mission in Syria, is vigorously discussed in various countries around the world. A truly vivid reaction to what happened is observed in Greece. Despite the fact that the Greeks and Turks seem to represent one bloc - NATO - the Greek position is clearly far from being able to pat Erdogan in this situation. Frankly, the Greeks and previously could hardly be considered the clear allies of Turkey in NATO, although the statute of the North Atlantic military bloc theoretically suggests otherwise.

Greece: If Greek air defense shot down Turkish aircraft for all violations of Greek airspace, then the Turkish Air Force would no longer have airplanes


In the Greek edition Protothema actively discussing the question of why did the Turks suddenly become so fundamental in matters of flight aviation in border areas. From material:

Turkey for some reason never pays attention to subtleties when it systematically violates the airspace of Greece.


Moreover, not so long ago, the Greek Defense Minister proposed to build a NATO military base on one of the Greek islands during a meeting as part of NATO with the sole purpose: so that the military could record how many times Turkish military aircraft violated Greek airspace and report to Brussels.

In the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Greece, statistics are given on the truly astronomical number of violations of the Greek air lines by Turkish Air Force aircraft. So, according to the results of 10 months of the current year, Turkish aircraft violated the airspace of Greece (attention!) 1233 times (it turns out, several times a day)! Of these, 31 once Turkish aircraft allowed themselves to fly over the Greek land.

According to the apt expression of the Greek journalists, the Turkish Air Force would have reduced the number of planes to zero if Greek air defense forces shot down military planes every time they violated Greek airspace ...

The Greek Foreign Ministry sent a statement to the Foreign Ministry of the Russian Federation stating that it considers Turkey’s actions against the Russian aircraft "unfriendly and contrary to the principles of the fight against terrorism."

Recall that, according to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, Su-24 RF Aerospace Force was shot down over the territory of Syria.

          Turkey is also a (sexual) member of NATO and a couple of years ago they held a tender for the supply of air defense systems and our S-300 and Patriot participated in it. The Chinese counterpart S-300 won.

          Whether she is a member or not, I think Greece will figure it out herself, but the fact that the occupation of Cyprus by the Turkonoids is not recognized by either NATO or the UN is a fact! So the S-300 unloading at the port of the Cypriots is quite legitimate with the consent of Cyprus! negative

          The Turkish Air Force was still noted as epic friendly fire: an attack group of 44 aircraft attacked 3 of their own EMs, sinking one of them and seriously damaging the 2 remaining ones.

        By the way, "the request not to build up Greece's air defense with new complexes" was all from the same Erdogan, when the graters were going along the "Turkish stream" ...
        When will it reach us that no one should ever be trusted in this "rotten world of cash" !?
        Always we climb to all "with friendship and partnership", and "all and sundry" we are thrown like the last suckers! Then we whine that we were "stabbed in the back" ... And where did the presidential administration, our "eyes and ears" - SVR, Foreign Ministry, FSB, GRU MO and a bunch of analysts from institutes and research centers look ... "hell knows what "?
        They scratch their tongue on TV (Solovyov’s), and they do well, and then WHAT?
        "Very rich", however, is the country Russia, if with such "generosity" we lose "lards and lards" (Ukraine, the southern and Turkish streams, "food" for friend Gryrorych, etc.). "it would be necessary to learn, that's who will get an extra penny out of his pocket!"

        What nonsense! Greece has our S-300s.
        At one time, this complex was delivered to Cyprus by agreement,
        but because of Turkish protests, in order not to aggravate the situation, he was transferred to Greece.

        Unfortunately, this complex is also used in NATO air defense breakthrough exercises.

And Ukraine comes to mind, which happily "claps its hands." When their attack aircraft over our territory were deployed to "work" on the militias, we were silent, but we had to blame. My opinion is that if we let the brakes down now, we will get a "continuation". And what, "sorry", the mistake came out and all the deeds. Impunity gives rise to permissiveness.

    Greece! Don't, "IF"! Violated sovereign airspace (and many times) - KILL!

    Everyone is fixated on these words "unfriendly actions".
    This is a real attack, why be modest.

    This is mutual. Orthodoxy and Muslims.
    However, the Turks are sharper. They grabbed Cyprus, fly as they want, ours shot down.
    So think about whether to be friends here.
    Must have their own interests.
    Put the Greeks C300, c400 and c500 in addition! )))

    Whether she is a member or not, I think Greece will figure it out herself, but the fact that the occupation of Cyprus by the Turkonoids is not recognized by either NATO or the UN is a fact! So the S-300 unloading at the port of the Cypriots is quite legitimate with the consent of Cyprus! negative

    As far as I understand, the Turks occupied Greece and this part is now called Turkey?!?

    Probably that in response to the request of Greece to supply the S-300 complexes, Russia refused.

    You are wrong. Greece has long bought from us C-300, which were originally intended for delivery to Cyprus, but in connection with the decisive protests, these systems were given to Greece just by Turkey.

    compatriots look at it more and more widely in my opinion mattresses give us the sky over Syria but they just can’t leave and here it’s organized that Russia closes the sky over Syria and the mattresses seem to give us all the cards because there is a reason

    Well, this is my opinion drinks
