The high degree of readiness of the armed forces and especially of the air force, was recorded by SKAI, with its envoy in Lemnos, Stavros Ioannidis. The images betray the fighting spirit, the deterrent power and the professionalism of the executives guarding the Aegean.
In the squadron it sounded an alarm and the pilots run to the fighters in order to be in the air in a few minutes.
The pilot runs to climb the F16. Technicians follow him to help him.
The movements are lightning fast.
The cover closes and the pilot is ready to fly to defend the country’s sovereignty. Every day on the front line …
“Being on the front line is something we have chosen. It is the reason we chose to do this profession. To offer to the homeland!” states o F-16 pilot -Episminagos, Sgouras Christos.
At all times, whenever they are called, they declare the “present”. Their base is the 130th Battle Squadron in Lemnos.
Loaded with anti-aircraft missiles, the f16 is ready to take off and intercept Turkish aircraft if they try to violate Greek airspace.
“As soon as we receive the take-off order, we should be on the aircraft as soon as possible to take off, to carry out our mission, which is reconnaissance, interception and from there onwards to follow the orders from the headquarters”says Mr. Sgouras.
“We are ready and able to face any threat!”stresses Commander of the 130th Battle Squadron, Squadron Leader Thomas Papadimitriou.
Pilots know the degree of difficulty and danger. But they remain focused on their mission.
“When we lose a colleague, no matter how tragic and difficult it may be, we seek and find the strength within us to continue because the task is always there …”points out Mr. Sgouras.
“Training and modern aircraft result in the level of our air force today.”states Mr. Papadimitriou
Every time the fighters take off for interceptions the Super Puma is on standby if needed. But every day it is on standby in the Aegean.
“The conditions we are attempting are not always favorable. Some days are good and some are quite difficult. Storms, strong winds, snowfall”reports ο Super Puma governor, Stylianos Tsakiris.
Guards of the Aegean … With professionalism and self-denial … Ready to face any eventuality.
