Greece continues to arm itself and Turkey worries and provokes too much.
A very big discussion has started in Turkey, regarding the armament program that Greece has and its continuous reinforcement.
Specifically, Turkish analysts focus on the F-35 program, with which our country is preparing to change the balance in the Aegean.
All of this was reported on SKAI’s morning show, “Today” with the channel’s correspondent in Istanbul commenting on the events.
According to what he reports, in a Turkish broadcast by Haber Turk, experts make it clear that the F-35s will “make a big difference in the Aegean”.
In fact, Gürcel Tokmakoglou, former director of intelligence of the Turkish Air Force, compared the F-35s with the Turkish F-16s.
The results are certainly not what Turkey would like, since as the US also emphasizes, they will be able to support the aircraft, with the systems they have being of high technology.
“The F-35 is another thing. And with an F-35 aircraft in front of you comes the USA. A single F-35 uses the US network system. In the event that one of our F-16s engages in a dogfight with a Greek F-35, they will also support it with their own forces. That if you put it in wartime means a lot,” he initially said.
While then he intended: “The F-35 is like a robot, semi-autonomous the decisions are made by the aircraft itself through software. The F-16 is not like that, the pilot uses it, it’s just that the new aircraft will be able to take advantage of the F-35’s systems.”
The concern in Turkey is huge, as can be seen by the provocative reports from pro-government newspapers such as Sabah.
