The Aegean must be monitored not only on the surface but also under the sea, where underwater sensors, our special immediate intervention forces, as well as deterrent materials, such as sound generators, will now play a dominant role.
It is a fact that Turkey is constantly including offensive weapon systems within its capabilities in order to act aggressively against us in the Aegean, which due to their technical characteristics, shape new doctrines of operations from its side regarding “attacking and occupying our rocky islands and micro-islands”. .
So we would say that Turkey’s targeted weapons systems are perfectly aligned with the implementation of its President’s threat to occupy our islands in the Aegean, when the latter is saying more and more often his favorite expression addressing Greece, threatening it that, “we will we come one night suddenly”.
Recently at an International Defense Exhibition the Turks presented the STM500 mini underwater vehicle that can be used by special forces and can carry up to 6 people. It was developed specifically for conducting business in certain regions. The idea is not limited to this, since they are also working on unmanned underwater vehicles along with the STM500.
We remind you that a year earlier, in the exercise “Deniz kurdu 2021, SAT teams, hit the targets on the island of the hypothetical enemy, both from sea and from land with men who “dropped” by parachute, successfully fulfilling the mission assigned to them.
After the exercise, Turkey’s YPAM Akar was briefed on the underwater diver propulsion device, which is used by very few of the teams performing the same task in the world.
The Diver Propulsion Device (DPD), which is one of the important tools used by SAT teams, can be used for long-term underwater transport.
The device, which has high-precision navigation systems, also participates in the provision of additional material and ammunition support as well as the underwater transport of the teams as part of the SAT mission.
The device with a maximum speed of 3.2 knots can operate at a depth of 35 meters.
From the above, our point is now fully verified that the Turkish SATs have the ability and means to carry out underwater penetration of rocky islets-islets-intermediate and main islands in the Aegean, which is a mortal danger for us.
It is now imperative that the Aegean is monitored not only on the surface but also under the sea, where underwater sensors, our special forces of immediate intervention will now play a dominant role, as well as deterrent materials, such as sound generators destructive to divers, making the approach prohibited of the coast.
In any case, such a thing requires the corresponding purchase of a multitude of equipment systems
Finally, we estimate that priority should be given to the acquisition and placement in STRONGYLI-RO-KASTELLORIZO, of the above systems as well as on our islets-islets in front of Guluk Bay, on the coast of Asia Minor, which is an area that hosts according to open sources Special forces of the Turkish GEETHA (Bordo Bereli) but also SAT.
