News Turkish UAV flies over Greek islet

[Pantelis]

A Turkish Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) entered Athens FIR without submitting a flight plan and violated Greek airspace, the Hellenic National Defense General Staff (GEETHA) said Thursday.

The drone flew over the islets of Trianisia, located southeast of Astypalaia, at 11.43 a.m. at a height of 19,000 feet.

The drone was identified and intercepted by Greek fighter planes in accordance with international rules of engagement.

This particular cluster of islets has been declared a Natural 2000 site to protect several species of birds, including Scopoli’s shearwater (a seabird), Mavropetritis (Eleonora’s falcon) and Mychos (the yelkouan shearwater).

This is a small step, I accept that its performance is lower than turkish uavs, but this is open to improvement. We do not live in a problematic geography like turks. Our geography is very civilized and full of peace. We can get unlimited technical support from Europe and the United States and Israel.

Problematic geography thats why the Balkans is the next powder keg.

Also if Greece was next to the middle east and caucasus you guys would not even survive a second.

Also greece has been irrelevant for centuries in the geopolitical arena. Still continues.

Delusions if you believe Europe, Israel and USA would sacrifice their interests for entitled Greeks.

Surely the writing they added is ironic. There's no way they can be serious.

So, Greeks get unlimited support yet, Turkiye put them in shame when it comes to defense industry.
Apparently, there is a big problem defense solutions you have to provided support ratio.

What makes a tb2 special is not a flying drone but how it works under harsh conditions.
Tb2 flied over gulf desert in in a sandstorm for more than 24 hours. When greeks succeed to do it than we have something to worry about.
Also, there are subsystems like munitions, electronics, avionics, ew device that makes a drone lethal.
When you look at neuron drone, the shape intimidates. Many european countries get together to Come up with a high tech lethal drone. However, there is not any progress.
When it comes to drone warface, iranian ones looks much promising than greek ones.

Greece surely lacks a lot to have a formidable drone indistry yet but so was Turkey in the beginning.
I personally dont worry about drones anytime soon but Airforce might get a headache in the future.

The whole different between us is, not our technology advantage over Greece. Its the necessary condition we have to have, to survive in our region.

I am sorry to disappoint you but you can forget the "unlimited support". No company is going to give you technology transfer without tens of billions of $. Greek Gdp is roughly 200 billion $ and the defence budget 6 billion(3%), just to pay wages and running the machinery,planes etc. Greece spent 10+ billions since Mitsotakis took office and a lot is in the pipeline. Thus,the defence budget is 4~5% of gdp. Those money are syphoned from health care, education, retirement etc. Defence is important, but this is not sustainable even 8n the medium term.
