Greece is expected to send a Letter of Request to the US government immediately in order to start negotiations for the purchase by the Hellenic Air Force of a squadron of state-of-the-art 5th generation F-35 aircraft. This was clarified yesterday in Washington by senior government sources after the highly successful, as can be seen at least from the public statements and the prevailing climate, Kyriakos Mitsotakis’s visit to the White House and his meeting with US President Joe Biden.

From Monday 9 to Friday 20 May 2022, the 116th Medium Scale Multinational Air Exercise "NATO Tiger Meet 2022" is being held at 116th Combat Wing / Araxos Air Base.

U.S. Air Force Airmen and F-15E Strike Eagle aircraft assigned to the 492nd Fighter Squadron, 48th Fighter Wing, Royal Air Force (RAF) Lakenheath, England, arrived at Andravida Air Base, Greece, to support INIOCHOS 22. The exercise is a Hellenic air force-sponsored operational and tactical level field training exercise, hosted by the Hellenic Air Tactics Center at Greece’s fighter weapons school, located at Andravida Air Base, Greece, from March 27 to April 7, 2022.
