The presence of 15 American F-15 fighters in Larissa, for their participation in the Castle Forge exercise, is strongly projected in the Turkish media with conspiracy theories, as the neighbors have been accustomed to lately. “Why did 15 F-15s land in Greece?” CNN Turk reports that although the multinational exercise will take place in the context of the US defense strategy in the Black Sea region, information from Greece has made it known that “American aircraft are for more than exercise”.

“Greece, which has entered into an alliance with France against Turkey, is preparing to sign a defense cooperation agreement with the United States. “Before the agreement, 15 F-15 fighter jets came to Greece for exercises and joint training activities,” Haber 3 comments.
