Ankara provokes beyond measure – Air chief marshal Ozturk violates the Greek FIR on footage, flying an F-16 himself.

What we know about the daily Turkish violations in the Aegean so far, was the number of Turkish aircraft invade Greek airspace, whether they are armed and the areas that are moving.

However, the identity of the Turkish pilots was kept as a completely secret by the Turks and so did the warfare fate of the aircrafts.

All this changed today, with the Turkish state very carefully and in a very formal way admitting that violations are not a task by young pilots, but the main choice of the Turkish leadership.
