Greek Defense Ministry: Turks shot down Su-24 over Syria

December 2 2015 53

The Russian Su-24 was shot down over Syria, otherwise NATO would have activated Art. 5 of its charter (Washington Treaty) on joint defense, transmits RIA News statement by the Minister of Defense of Greece Panos Kammenos.

“This fact is also recognized by Turkey, which, if everything was different, would have asked to activate Article 5 of the NATO Charter as an attacked member state of the alliance,” the minister said on the air of Mega channel.

Kammenos said that he would not take responsibility and claim that "whether the Russian Su-24 was shot down intentionally or accidentally," because "the decision to shoot down planes takes command on the ground."

"But even more serious was the fact that the Russian pilot was killed by the Gray Wolves," he said.

According to the minister, at the recent NATO Permanent Representatives Council, some countries - “especially former communist” - stated “about problems on the northern wing of NATO, fearing a rocket attack,” while “Greece said that problems are on the southern wing of the alliance.”

Returning to the plane incident, he added: "If Russia violated Turkish airspace, we would have taken a position for Turkey."

“Greece is a member of NATO and the EU. We would not take the side of Russia in case of a violation, ”said Kammenos.

He called on the international community to condemn the violation of Greek airspace by Turkish aircraft. “It would be nice if the Turks were sitting, not violating ...”, said the minister.

According to him, Turkey will not participate in the fight against IS, as the country is increasingly “Islamized”.

      I note that this applies to almost the entire European Union, which is not surprising. Therefore, Turkey, although a NATO country, will never join the EU, the possible reason is the incredible Islamization of Turkey.

      However, the Greeks do not fly to Turkey on military aircraft. But the Turks believe it is clear that the Greeks do not have a decree, garbage. And the Greeks consider the Turks garbage apparently around the house, behind closed doors.

      Greeks are weak.
      
      They have modernized, both have become, drunk .... But before there were precedents.
      In 1985-1986, interceptions and maneuvers took place between the Greek F-4E and Turkish F-104G, according to unconfirmed information, two Turkish Starfighters crashed during these intercepts.
      Both Turkish and Greek F-16s have repeatedly participated in air incidents between the air forces of the two countries. Almost always, such incidents occurred without firing, but on October 8, 1996 this rule was violated: a Turkish F-2000 was shot down by a Greek Mirage 16 fighter, one of whose crew members died. Information about this case was hidden by both parties and was recognized by the Turkish representative only in 2003.
      On June 18, 1992, during the interception of two Turkish F-16s, the Greek Mirage F1 crashed.
      On July 15, 1993, during a training flight, the Greek F-16 crashed; according to one version, it could be intercepted by the Turkish F-16.
      On September 2, 1994, the Greek F-4E, over the Aegean Sea, mistakenly shot down another Greek F-4E.
      On February 8, 1995, a Turkish F-16, flying into Greek airspace, was intercepted by two Greek Mirage F1s and crashed while maneuvering the F-16.
      On October 20, 1995, the Turkish reconnaissance RF-4E was intercepted by an unknown Greek fighter. During the maneuver, the Turkish plane crashed.
      On December 28, 1995, the Greek F-16C entered into an air battle with the Turkish F-4E. During the maneuver, a Turkish plane crashed into the sea.
      On October 8, 1996, a Greek Mirage 2000 shot down a Turkish F-16 Fighting Falcon fighter in an aerial battle over the Aegean Sea.
      
      November 5, 1997, Turkish F-4E crashed after an air battle with an unknown Greek fighter.
      On May 23 on 2006, the Greek F-16 and Turkish F-16, which carried out reconnaissance flight, collided. Both planes crashed.
      The Turkish-Greek conflict is the only one where the F-16 fighter suffered sustained losses in air battles, all three Turkish F-16s and three Greek F-16s (1 possible) were lost.
      
      Apparently really weaklings, since they dare not continue good traditions.

    And nafua, I apologize for my French, the Greeks S-400. Do they already have an S-300 and what's the point? Turks fly in the Greek sky as in their own, for example, on the same site today: http://topwar.ru/87176-gsh-vs-grecii-samolety-vvs-turcii-nahodilis-v-grecheskom-
    vozdushnom-prostranstve-okolo-poluchasa.html # comment-id-5303132. And what measures did the Greeks take - absolutely nothing, so they watched the flights of Turkish fighters and then raised a cry about what the Turks were bad. Apparently Tsipras hopes that the EU and NATO will plug his throat with another cash donation. The Greeks and the Turks had a centuries-old enmity and huge accounts for each other. But Greece is a NATO member and will never go against the alliance's demands. Maximum - they will tear their throats, all the time looking back at Brussels and Washington - haven't they gone too far with screams? And now, the Greeks, taking advantage of the current situation, are trying to sit on two chairs at once - to make kaku to their "beloved" Turkish neighbors, weighing curtsies to Russia and at the same time not going too far in this matter so as not to receive a formidable hail from the headquarters - NATO apartments.
    What will come of all this - we will see.
    I have the honor.

      Alexander Grigorievich, plus for "Nafua S-400". They really have a lot of land and sea air defense systems of different types, fighters with V-V missiles. And then there are many MANPADS and anti-aircraft guns. And at the same time they only squeak. Apparently because of the money.
      But before that, until 2006 there were precedents when the Turks were stopped despite membership in NATO.

  But on the basis of this speech, we need to do
  a definite conclusion! Well, the Greeks, it remains to complain about historical
  memory and that little Turks violate your air
  space. You need sobriety to assess the situation,
  so that they still by "mistake" a couple of missiles in your crotch, launched. Then look the Greeks will begin to act adequately!

  Unfortunately, the opinion of the Greeks is published only in Russia, but we already know the truth. Words mean little nowadays - some lie, they don’t hear others. The arguments were threats, blackmail, and downed planes. But you need to be prepared to respond forcefully to force, because political scumbags only understand this.
