Ankara is deeply concerned about the arrival of the first 6 Rafale in Greece, with the Turkish media hosting extensive coverage of the French aircraft that were added to the Air Force fleet yesterday.
Indicatively, the Hurriyet newspaper talks about “Greece’s show with Rafale”, noting that Kyriakos Mitsotakis in his statements during the acceptance ceremony sent an indirect message to Turkey. He adds that the cost for fighter jets reached 3.3 billion euros. At the same time, he refers to the reactions of the opposition which say that all this is done to avoid the real problems of the government.
In a smaller article, the opposition newspaper Cumhuriyet writes that the first batch of Rafale has arrived in Greece, while it makes special reference to the sanctification of aircraft, even hosting a corresponding photo.
At the same time, Sabah in a bitter comment points out “Greece’s joy for second-hand aircraft” trying to degrade their market and the power they provide in shielding the country.
The Haber Global television network reports that Greece had ordered these aircraft at the height of the tension in the Eastern Mediterranean, in order to strengthen its air defense. He adds that Greece will receive an additional 18 fighters from France. “The cost of the whole agreement reaches 3.3 billion euros. “The Greek government in 2021, increased its defense spending by 41% and reached 5.5 billion euros.”
