Turkey accuses Greece of ‘hostile action’ against jets

ISTANBUL, 29 August 2022, (TON): Turkey alleged fellow NATO member Greece has used a Russian-made air defense system to harass Turkish jets on a reconnaissance mission, calling it a hostile action.

Turkish defense ministry sources said “the incident took place on August 23 when Greece’s S-300 missile system deployed on the island of Crete put a lock on Turkish F-16 jets flying at 10,000 feet west of Rhodes.”

The sources added “that was incompatible with the spirit of alliance and amounted to hostile acts under the NATO rules of engagement.”

“Despite this hostile action, jets completed their planned missions and returned to their base safely.”
