Defence sources revealed yesterday that on 15 August, Turkish spy planes violated Greek airspace but were soon chased out by fighter jets.
According to the revelations published by Kathimerini, Turkey sent two CN-235 surveillance aircrafts which flew over the north-eastern, central and south-eastern Aegean on the day that Greece celebrated the Dormition of Our Lady, with many seeing it as a cynical and calculated move on Turkey’s behalf.
The Turkish aircraft carried out 33 violations of Greece’s national airspace and three violations of air traffic rules in Athens’ Flight Information Region (FIR) according to the media report. They were both identified by the Greek Air Force which sent fighter jets to chase them away.
