A Turkish Air Force general and football fan attempted to use F16 fighter jets to intimidate the opposing team.

An interesting incident occurred on April 21 of this year during the Turkish Cup quarterfinal match between Konyaspor and Fenerbahçe. Turkish Air Force Major General Mete Kuş, an ardent Konyaspor fan, launched fighter jets and helicopters over the stadium during the match. Apparently, he wanted to put pressure on the Fenerbahçe players.

The fighter jets and helicopters did indeed fly over the stadium, and the sound of their engines was even heard live on television. Furthermore, one fan filmed the helicopters flying over the stadium on his mobile phone.

It is unclear whether the general succeeded in intimidating the opposing players, but Konyaspor, the team Mete Kuş supported, won the match 1-0. However, the incident did not go unnoticed by the command; The general was removed from his post as commander of the Konya airbase and transferred to the Air Force Headquarters in Ankara. They say it was a punishment.

Fenerbahçe was lucky the general wasn't an artillery commander. 🙂
