With a very clever move by Ankara, now implicated in the claims of the eastern Mediterranean, especially in the area between Rhodes and Kastelorizo ​​where research has given licenses for hydrocarbons within the Greek continental shelf, the ... United Arab Emirates, which sent four Mirage 2000-9 fighter aircraft and synaskithikan with Turkish Airlines.

All this in an Aegean Sea in the morning "boiling" with a tremendous force of Turkish and Arab fighters (total 30 aircraft, 12 formations)) to go in and out in the national airspace violations and conducting a host of violations in the Aegean.

In particular formations consisting of 12 fighters and 28 helicopters 2 of which 6 have brought weapons, made 14 breaches and violations 9. The Turkish business has evolved in the northern Aegean Sea in the area south of Samothrace and southeast of Rhodes, just in the areas of illegal Turkish research.


The impressive thing is that exercise southeast of Rhodes had been approved by the CAA! Obviously not for us be rude towards the United Arab Emirates made the effort and sent the fighters so far away!

The striking feature is the scenario: The fighters from the UAE synaskithikan with Turkish fighters in missions subduction surface vessels. A total of four ships fighter 4 warships participated in the exercise.

Feature is that the UAE was asked through diplomatic channels to avoid participating in exercise, but the only thing achieved was not involved in a scenario envisaged action within the ERA.

To say that Turkey has achieved "with one stone two birds" diplomatically "Our cornered" as he put the Arabs to exercise-heat areas for Greek rights. Say "equalized" the walks of Israeli F-16 in Cyprus near Turkey. But operationally, as the Turkish Air Force has eaten enough "wood" in the Aegean from the Mirage 2000-5Mk2 the PA and now had the opportunity to see up close and was able to decipher what this aircraft-ponikefalo, since the UAE is Mirage almost the same as the Greek "5s".

H basis of Arab aircraft is in Konya. Intercepted by fighter F-16 Block 52 + of 115 AM.
