Translated from Greek through Google: In standby mode is the Air Force Crete, F16 Block 52 aircraft which took two consecutive days restraining Turkish aircraft.
After the incident Monday night when two F16 from 115 CW rushed to make a restraining Turkish aerial vehicle (probably a helicopter) in the area of Kalymnos and 115 aircraft yesterday AM and from Skyros took restraining two Turkish helicopters and six fighter aircraft in the region between Rhodes and Kastelorizo.
There were in total 6 violations of IDPs and 3 breaches of FIR.
Meanwhile new dimensions seem to take the case of the approach and flyover territory by Turkish helicopter Sunday evening at 23:30 in the area of Kalymnos, and there are clear indications that attempted (or was ;) approach Greek soil.
In the area of the bay of Vathi Kalymnos, the night Sunday to Monday was very "hot" with full mobilization of military units.
The information converge on the fact that we might "rehearsal warm episode."
Other information speak for 2 helicopters, but the Defence disproved the existence of the second helicopter (even issued notice for the first, of course) - A reliable source from the General Staff stated that it was found "intention Ground Proximity" and yesterday two islands St Sideris, near Kalymnos and Gaioudouronisos near Kalolimno, which have not been kept under close observation.
The truth is that four radars (one in Kalymnos, Kos and two one on Leros, which is the largest in the area) can not give clear answers about the nature and direction of the threat.
The goal in any case not identified and not monitored throughout the course, which is particularly dangerous. Imia for a few minutes was lost sight of the island when inserted Turkish frigate "Yavuz" and there was bad ..
The above fact is considered as very important as it is the first time since the events of Imia 30ispros on January 31, 1996 found similar form Turkish mobility aiming national territory.
The national air defense system reacted instantaneously and F-16 were found in the readiness of Crete, but we understood that knowing the quality of the people who man the squadrons of the PA.
But it took just 13 'to reach the target area undetected and he had departed, as the Greek fighters were physically identified by Turkish radar and then inform the helicopter.
What we need perhaps the second and third reading is Turkish is "attempt" and that such an action ever is left there. Always be the precursor of a new aggressive nature Turkish initiative which-and knowing the "writing" of the Turkish General Staff - are sure to come.
