The Turkish president targets and threatens Greece with the Tayfun missile
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is escalating his aggressive rhetoric against Greece on the way to the polls.
Speaking on TRT yesterday, he launched a new attack with baseless claims, saying that “Greece is taking hostile actions against Turkey, violating the airspace and militarizing the islands near the Turkish coast”.
As SKAI correspondent Manolis Kostidis reports from Istanbul, the Turkish president said: “The Greek side is resorting to absurd claims. claims. First, there is no basis on which Greece can base its allegations of air violations. In reality, Greece is increasing the tension by violating our airspace, by harassing our planes, and by harassing fishermen.
Our air force and coast guard, of course, do not and will not let these hostile actions go unanswered. It continues to militarize the islands, which are very close to our coasts and large settlements, in violation of international treaties.”
In addition, the Turkish president continues to threaten Greece with Tayfun missile: “With Tayfun we are making preparations! We will not sit with our hands tied in the actions aimed at our security”.
Besides, Erdogan wondered “why are the Greeks panicking?” Let them make a Tayfun too’: ‘Of course, then they panic when we say Tayfun. Why are you panicking bro? So we won’t make our own preparations? We did Tayfun. Okay. Right now it has a range of 560 km. But I also told our defense industry, ‘560 km is not enough. You will reach it at 1000 km.
Make it too. Make it yourself, have it too. This is the step we took. Why does this bother them? It is not possible to sit with our hands tied in the face of actions aimed at the security of our country. We will continue to answer them both legally and in the field».
Concern about F-16s
Meanwhile, Turkish analysts report that “we are fighting to get the fighters that the Greeks already have.”
“If Congress and Biden approve the F-16s we will get them in five years at the earliest”
Journalist Metehan Demir reported: “Our Air Force is in immediate need of fighters. We have F-16 Block 50. We don’t have Block 60 and 70, while Greece has them and has had them for years. We too are now fighting to get the fighters that Greece already has. We also need to know that the day Joe Biden signs the F-16 deal, assuming a miracle happens and it is approved by Congress, these fighters will arrive in 5 years at the earliest! 5 years as other countries wait before us”.
