In the end, the rumors and half-assed claims that Greek pilots occasionally face Pakistani pilots in Turkish F-16s are most likely the truth.
The reason is what the Pakistani A/GE said about "training Turkish pilots in many types of aircraft (fighters) inside and outside Turkey possibly".
A delegation led by Air Force Commander Attila Gulan, Commander of the Turkish Air Force, met Air Force Chief of Pakistan Air Force General Zaher Ahmed Babar Sindoo at his office.
The Pakistan Air Force Chief remarked to his Turkish counterpart that "its pilots are playing an active role in training Turkish crews in various aircraft, including trainers and fighters."
Several key areas of mutual interest as well as regional developments were discussed during the meeting.
The Pakistani Air Chief stressed that both countries enjoy a long-standing religious and historical relationship, which is manifested through an unprecedented strategic partnership.
He also reiterated his determination to further strengthen existing bilateral ties in military cooperation, strategic alliance and the field of education.
The Air Chief further said, “Pakistan values its strong diplomatic, economic and defense relationship with Turkey, which is based on convergence on all important issues related to regional peace, security and stability in times of need, for this and the Pakistan Air Force will remain committed to providing training and capability development assistance to the Turkish Air Force."
What skills? Obviously, the attempt to intercept the Greek aircraft in the Aegean without success, however, is why Turkey is building a fleet of unmanned aircraft.
Turkish Air Force Commander Attila Gulan praised the professionalism of the Pakistan Air Force and recognized the growing capability of Pakistan's aviation industry.
He also expressed keen interest in the National Aerospace Science and Technology Park led by the Pakistan Air Force.
Both A/GEAs agreed to explore further avenues of bilateral cooperation, including cooperation on joint production of military hardware with particular emphasis on fifth-generation aircraft and unmanned aerial platforms.
In Pentapostagma in our article we reported that Turkish and Pakistani military are discussing regional security and cooperation targeting the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean.
In addition to joint military operations in the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean and elsewhere, the two sides agreed to further optimize military ties, particularly in the areas of training and counter-terrorism.
The presence of the Pakistanis brought to the surface again the recently signed defense agreement with which we will officially have new "walks" of the Pakistani navy in the Eastern Mediterranean, causing anger in both Cyprus and Greece.
Earlier information led the Pakistanis to look for a Turkish base to dock their ships in the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean.
These are movements, which are estimated to multiply in the next period, since Erdogan is preparing the full implementation of the "Blue Homeland" plan, that's why we see this "project" in the Evros and the Aegean with the immigrants.
