Airspeed affects range for air-to-air missiles, F-16 and Rafale will be able to take out Akinci long before Akinci kills F-16 or Rafale. Cruise missiles could work, but it needs to be detected very early which even tier 1 and tier 2 airforces have a hard time doing.

If not Akinci fired an Akbaba missile beforeI don't think you understand what the role of a uav will be, they will not hunt fighters but shoot and go. Centric warfare will be game changer. AWACS, ship or a fighter will guide the missile. In a air battle fighter never turn ther radar on, when you open your radar everybody will see you. Akinci will be capable to fly more then 24 hours, a radar on the ground would be able to guide the missile.
First, GR. cant target a 1000km away position (east Turkey). Second, how will GR destroy all major airbases within 24h without any response by us? Third, what about smaller airbases, or other runways, which we can use? How will GR stop our ballistic missiles, SOM, or ATMACA which can target any GR position?Personally, if I was Greece I would invest in offensive weaponry and good intelligence. Take out all major Turkish airbases and their assets day 1 and you can gain a huge advantage militarily. You must not rely on defensive in a situation like this, you must take decisive action and in the case of Greece end the war quickly.
No airbases= no drones + no fighters= domination of the battlefield
Storm Shadow CM and long range MLRS are both great starts for this exactly.
Bro, sometimes I got that feeling that you know something which you would not tell us.Greeks know what would happen If they lost so called air superiority so they are investing on their airforce like there is no future and they think they can comfront Turks by using “better” aircrafts. Greeks are planning all procurements by considering the current systems Turkish forces were equipped. When they receive a new off the shelf model/apply an upgrade for their existing system, they put rationality aside and start assuming they have gained superiority against Turks thanks to new orders. This wierd mentality drove them to place an urgent order for a new fighter aircraft without testing them or opening a tender. This was happened when they feel the fear deep inside their hearts against Turkey in E.Med. Here, This is what Turkish officials want them to think. Sometimes, The nations fall victim to their assumptions. This is the reason Turkey need to hide some strategic programs. To achieve some secret capabilities, the nations must have a self sufficient industry that will produce any required system in acc to power projection of armed forces. Close-box secret systems will cause lots of surprises to enemy in crisis times and The sole people who knows the capabilities of them will be the people who use them.
