Turkish Fighter Jets Violate Greek Airspace Again!

The number of violations in Greek airspace in 2013 from Turkish jets are indeed staggering. They frequently cross into Greek air space with the aim of baiting Greek pilots, who follow them until they leave.

On Tuesday four Turkish fighter jets violated Greek air space once again and conducted a low level over several small islets between Chios and Samos.

According to the Hellenic National Defense General Staff, a formation of four Turkish fighter jets, consisting of two F-4 and two F-16, entered the Athens FIR between Chios and Samos at 10:53, and then operated a flight above the island group of Fourni, at 11:06, at an altitude of 1000 and 3000 respectively.

The Turkish planes remained in the Aegean airspace for about 15 minutes before being intercepted by Greek fighter jets.
