Turkey's unmanned aerial vehicles flying over a large area have become a "headache" for Greece, said Evangelos Yorgousis, a retired Greek general.

Turkish unmanned aerial vehicles have recently increased the number of flights they make over the Aegean Sea, which is of concern to Greek military commanders, and a retired general expressed these concerns in a recent article quoted by Hurriyet.

In the article "Bayraktar tests the defense of Greece", the former commander of the Air Force noted that the inexpensive Bayraktar TB2 unmanned aerial vehicles are capable of performing from three to four flights a day at low, medium and high altitudes, observing the movements of Greek Navy ships and fortifications on Greek islands.

Despite the fact that this is an expensive operation, Greece is forced to send F16 aircraft to counter Turkish drones.

"It is no longer easy for Greece to cope with this, and it will become even more difficult if Turkey increases the number of unmanned aerial vehicles and the number of sorties," Yorgusis said, adding that Ankara also recalls its claims regarding the Aegean Sea with these drone flights.

The retired general noted that some are expressing the idea of shooting down Turkish drones. But he stressed that this can only happen if the decision makers consider that the tensions that will arise as a result of such actions can be resolved in favor of Greece.

Meanwhile, Rafale fighters purchased by Greece from France began flying over the Aegean Sea. Last month, France delivered six aircraft. Three aircraft have recently completed a training mission, writes MK-Turkey.
