8 Greek airspace violations by 4 Turkish jets intercepted by Hellenic Air Force

In what could be considered a relatively quiet night in comparison to previous cases, four Turkish F-16 fighter jets violated Greek airspace 8 times on Wednesday.

According to the Hellenic National Defence General Staff’s report, two of the aircraft were armed, and the interception by Hellenic Air Force jets led to a dogfight.

Moreover, a CN-235 reconnaissance aircraft also infringed Greek airspace during the day.

The Turkish planes entered the south-east, north-east and central Aegean Sea but were all intercepted by Greek planes.

Tensions between the two countries have been going on for years but their cooperation has also been extensive enabling tourism to benefit significantly.
