Tsipras, Kammenos visits 135 Combat Group 'readiness' aircraft crews on Skyros

He was accompanied by Defence Minister Panos Kammenos, while the head of the Hellenic Air Force General  Staff Lieutenant General Christos Christodoulou was also present.
"We spoke with the pilots and technicians that are on constant standby to defend our sovereign rights," Tsipras posted in a tweet afterwards, noting that he had decided to take advantage of his presence on the island (where he is spending the last weekend of carnival with his family) in order to carry out the visit.

Με την ευκαιρία της παρουσίας μου στο νησί της Σκύρου, επισκέφθηκα σήμερα με τον Υπουργό Εθνικής Άμυνας την 135η Σμηναρχία Μάχης. Συνομιλήσαμε με τους πιλότους και τους τεχνικούς που βρίσκονται σε διαρκή επιφυλακή για την προστασία των κυριαρχικών μας δικαιωμάτων.
