Hellenic Air Force fighters scrambled early Friday morning since within the Greek FIR a plane bound for Israel, was suspected of being hijacked or having a bomb on board.

The multinational interdisciplinary exercise "ΙNIOCHOS 21" is in full swing, which takes place throughout the Athens FIR range with the participation of Rafale and Mirage 2000D fighters from France, F-16 from the United Arab Emirates, F / A 18 Hornet from Spain, and F-15s and F-16s from Israel.

The United States has sent F-16s, MQ-9 drones and KC-135 flying tankers. Canada is participates with the CGI - Air Weapon Managers system, while Cyprus has sent an AW 139 helicopter. Five more countries are participating as observers: Austria, Egypt, Jordan, Romania and Slovenia.

For many months, the Turkish regime has done everything to show even the most conscientious Europeans that it seeks to put pressure on Greece, to the point that Athens' only choice will be to react.
