Greek-Turkish: Why Turkey is shaking Crete – The plan that will boost the Turkish air defense

Greek-Turkish: Why Turkey is shaking Crete and the plan to create an F-35 base and large UAVs on the island.

The publication of Kathimerini, about the plan to create a base for Greek F-35s in Crete, as well as a base for large UAVs, has been widely spread in Turkey.

The largest Turkish defense sites are particularly concerned with this particular plan, since it is expected to… embolden Turkish air defenses, forcing the Turks to disrupt Turkish air defense systems over a large area of ​​Turkish territory.

Turkish air defense is oriented to control threats from the Aegean to the coasts of Asia Minor and the interior of Turkey.

With the danger of stealth F-35s in Crete, Ankara will be forced to protect its “soft underbelly”.

A typical example is the SOK of the Turks, when two summers ago, Greek F-16s suddenly appeared at the Pafos base.

This move then caused frenzy and panic among the Turks, after they realized that the Greek wings have the ability to pass unnoticed through the Eastern Mediterranean, exposing Turkey’s weak point to danger.

It should be noted that at that time the movements of the Greek Air Force concerned F-16s. Now the French Rafales have been added to the HAF force and the F-35s will also be added.

Let’s not forget that in a year or so, when the mini Turkish aircraft carrier Anadolu will be operational, it will have its main area of ​​action in the Eastern Mediterranean, as any other course in the Aegean will be pointless, without operational benefit.

The result of the above will probably be the reinforcement of the Turkish bases in the Occupied, with repositioning of Turkish UAVs and Turkish F-16s, with of course the risk of their destruction, since all these bases are close to the artillery range of the National Guard.

This publication came just a few days after the news of the lifting of the American arms embargo on Cyprus, which means that Cyprus is not only free to acquire new and used American defense equipment, but will now be able to move to acquire weapons as well. systems from other Western – NATO countries.

Before this development, due to the American embargo, Nicosia could not have access to Western defense armaments because of the American infrastructures contained in them.
