This is a DAILY event.

Turkish incursions are a regular.

There are oil reserves in the Aegean and creating a dispute is an effort for turkey to lay claim to oil reserve access.

That is the EU's future member....

Technically, both of these countries have just sullied the F-16s PERFECT air-to-air record. Prior to this, no F-16 has lost a live air-to-air engagement.

Now for the $64K question; Which side will claim credit for the kill?

Greeks' fault

Not likely.

Turks are constantly harrassing coastal waters and those in ships and intruding on Greek airspace. It's a wonder and a credit to them that the Greeks have not demanded more forceful action against the Muslim Turks.

"muslim turks",
There you go, having to throw in religion.
These is no reason you need to bring up the fact that these backstabbing worthless turdlike turks are mooselimbs.

Just because they turned their backs on American soldiers during the invasion of Iraq for lucre. For money, for a larger bribe, for a shakedown, filthy pigs.

Technically - they both get a kill
the record stands.

Guess they need to buy some F-35's to replace them.

Lockheed's stock rises again.
