As Turkish threats escalate with neighbors openly targeting the Greek islands of the Aegean, the Fleet Staff is preparing.
They know every Aegean island like their home. They have also mapped the last rock of the Archipelago. It will be one of the hundreds of “nests” where they will hide their small but armed like “lobster” boats in order to surprise the enemy fleet by launching their deadly missiles at the critical moment. They are the crews of the missiles of the Fleet spearheaded by the powerful “ROUSSEN” class Super Vita, which now become seven with the naming and joining of the force of the Fleet and the Command of Fast Vessels of the missile “VLACHAKOS” next Thursday , as Newpost had already announced.
They sail by the rocks. They search to locate new “nests”. Where the wild waves dig the stone in the small and large islands of the Aegean. To “hook” their ships to a different hideout every time and set up a magazine on the enemy ships. To “lock” them without being detected even at distances of up to 200 km, which is the range of the most powerful missile available to the Fleet, the Exocet block 3. The reconnaissance missions of the coasts, i.e. the mapping of every rock and recess where can hide a missile launcher is one of the most crucial activities for the crews of the Fast Boats.
As Turkish threats escalate with neighbors openly targeting the Greek islands of the Aegean, the Fleet Staff is preparing. With fire drills and participation in Allied training activities such as those currently underway with the French FS “Tonnere” and the Spanish “HuanCarlos”. At the same time some of the “pirates” of the Fleet as the missile boats and reveals the shield in both Squadrons of Fast Boats they are looking in the Aegean for new drums. To locate the “warships” that will hide their ships in a possible next crisis. The Chief of the Fleet, Vice-Admiral Panagiotis Lymberis, is also present at the meeting of the Archipelago with the Navy Executives, as he is often used to do.
The missile boats are without a doubt together with the submarines “214” the biggest nightmare of the Turkish fleet. And they proved it in the summer of 2020 when they “locked” with the powerful killer Exocet missiles all of the large surface units of the neighbors in every part of the Aegean and the Eastern Mediterranean. It was then that they came out to the Archipelago and developed in every corner of it before the Turkish ships even “disembarked” in the Aegean. As a result, from the first moment they lock them on their radars and trap them in their weapons. With the “pirates” of the Fleet sailing and “clipping” between rocks. And as the PN Executives typically say “the Aegean for the missile forces is like the forest for the commandos”. Everywhere there is a “nest” where they will hide and surprise.
Seven Roussenne-class missiles such as the VLACHAKOS, which is being delivered to the Fleet next week, and the KARATHANASIS, which was integrated into the Fast Ship Command last year, translate into 56 Exocet block 2 and block 3 missiles. Along with the missiles Harpoons carried by the older Combattante set up a powerful shield and turn the Aegean into a “no access zone” for the Turkish fleet.
