Athens: Turkey’s fiercest rival Greece is now equipped with Rafale fighter jets. The Hellenic Air Force has officially completed the acquisition of 24 Rafale fighter jets. Greece received the last Rafale aircraft at Tanagra Air Base on 9 January.

Aren't both Turkey and Greece in NATO?

[dfwgator]

Turkey should have been kicked out when they invaded Cyprus in 1974.

[DIRTYSECRET]

French planes. I doubt if they consulted their allies.

[riverrunner]

Should have spent the money on drones.

Turkey of 1964 or so was NATO. The wanna-be Ottoman Empire of 2025 does not deserve membership, but membership is a good way to keep half a handle on the madman who currently runs it.

Make Istanbul Constantinople Again

[dfwgator]

Even Old New York was once New Amsterdam.

The Greece of today is not the Greece of Marathon and Thermopylae.

I feel funny in my cockpit

Seems to me that ottoman viper drivers would not be too afraid of rafales, depending on training they are pretty similar IIRC.

Tanagra?

“Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra.”
“Temba, his arms wide.”

Pretty, but not as pretty as our resident very female FR pilot...

True, but why did Constantinople get the works?

Aren't both Turkey and Greece in NATO?

Yup, however Turkey should have been expelled as they are not (by my observation, corrections invited) an much of an ally.

[dead]

That’s nobody’s business but the Turks.

Au contraire, they are a very good and consistent ally - of islam.

[dfwgator]

When Turkey makes their move to conquer Europe, every Muslim living in Europe will support them.

This is what ultimately makes them much more dangerous than the Russians could ever dream of being.

[null and void]

Yup!

[dfwgator]

That’s why all Slavic peoples need to get their act together and stop fighting each other.
