Greece-Turkey arms race continues

The green light given by the United States to Greece's acquisition of the F-35 multi-role fighter and to the sale of F-16 fighters and upgrade kits to Turkey highlights the fact that the two nominal NATO allies are actually facing each other, vying for supremacy in the air, land and sea.

Incident: Americans targeted Russian fighters

This was stated by the Deputy Head of the Russian Center for Reconciliation of the Warring Parties, Rear Admiral Oleg Gurinov.
"At 07:34 on July 26, at an altitude of 6,200 meters in the El-Bab area, the MQ-9 drone of the 'coalition' again came dangerously close to a pair of Su-35 and Su-34 aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces," Gurinov said.

Greece marks Independence Day with student, military parades

The annual student parade commemorating the start of Greece's independence struggle from Ottoman rule took place in the center of Athens on Friday. Similar celebrations were held across the country. The armed forces will hold a parade on Saturday around Syntagma Square. It will be almost impossible to drive into the city center from 6 a.m.

Greece seeking ways to counter Turkish drones

The Greek government is looking for ways to counter Turkish drones, seeking anti-drone technologies from Israel as well as mulling diplomatic efforts.

Even though, it recently received six Rafale fighter jets from France, the acquisition of those airplanes did not ease Greece's concerns over Turkey's unmanned aerial vehicles and armed drones, according to the Greek media outlets.
