Why Turkey Is Threatening India's Ally Greece After New Delhi Destroyed Its Deadliest Drone
New Delhi: India held the upper hand in its recent clash with Pakistan. Even after losing, Pakistan has not stopped spreading false claims. China and Turkey openly back Pakistan's propaganda. Now, Turkey is targeting India's close friend, Greece. Pakistan says it shot down Indian aircraft. India admits some planes were lost but keeps details quiet. Turkey uses these claims to threaten Greece. Its media spreads fear by repeating Pakistan's statements. Greece recently bought 24 Rafale jets from France. Turkish conservative media outlet TR Haber is pushing new propaganda. It claims Greece doubts the Rafale jets' capabilities. The report warns that if Pakistan can hit Indian jets with Chinese JF-17 planes and PL-15 missiles, Greece depending on Rafale is risky. Turkey and Greece have long-standing tensions. With an aim to intimidate Greece, Ankara wants to use the India-Pakistan conflict for its own ends. But what they do not say is how India crushed Turkey's drones like they were nothing. Turkey's Rafale Fear Since Greece bought Rafale jets, Turkey has been uneasy. India's attacks on Turkey's drones have caused billions in losses to Turkey's defense business. After India crippled the Bayraktar TB-2 drone badly, many orders for this drone might get cancelled or dropped. Quoting unnamed sources, TR Haber publishes in its vague reports says Greece is worried. The publication never named these sources. This unclear reporting shows Turkey's real goal. TR Haber also claims India is unhappy with Rafale's performance. It alleges New Delhi refused a technical audit proposed by Rafale's maker Dassault Aviation. The report first appeared in Pakistan and then spread through Chinese media. However, there is no proof to back it. The publication further claims India doubts France on production quality and source code sharing. The Indian government or air force has not said anything official. So these claims sound doubtful. Turkey's real aim is to question Rafale technology and to weaken India-France defense ties. The propaganda tries to plant mistrust and push India toward American or Russian weapons instead. India May Stand Firm With Greece Turkey fears India will now openly back Greece. This worry is clear in TR Haber's reports. Turkish media fears India will boost defense and economic ties with Greece as payback. Greek newspaper Ekathimerini recently reported that India is exploring big investments in Greece. Deals may happen in ports, tourism and defense. Rumors of Indian investments in Hellenic Aerospace Industry (EAB) and Hellenic Defense Systems (EAS) make Turkey nervous. India defeated Turkey's drones badly. India's homegrown Akash and T-4 defense systems destroyed those drones. Turkey fears India might now sell these weapons to Greece. If India strengthens defense ties with Greece, it will be a sharp response to Turkey's support for Pakistan. India also has strong ties with Turkey's rivals Cyprus and Armenia. The latter is a friend now receiving India's high-tech weapons proven in the war against Pakistan. In such a situation, Turkey's fear is natural. Apart from Akash, India's biggest threat to its foes is the BrahMos missile. India is rapidly ramping up BrahMos production. It is expected India will use these weapons to counter Turkey and China through its allies.

Pakistan and Turkey join hands to threaten this 'friend' of India, not Armenia, Israel, Saudi Arabia, UAE, will Modi govt...
Pakistan is not learning its lesson, despite receiving a befitting reply from India each time. It continues to spread false propaganda. Countries such as China and Turkey have been key supporters of Pakistan. This time, Turkey is trying to intimidate India's ally, Greece, and elevate Pakistan's fraudulent claims. Recently, Turkey's conservative media outlet, TR Haber, published a story that said Pakistan shot down six India's Rafale jets during the India-Pakistan conflict, and cautioned Greece about purchasing Rafale aircraft, as these baseless claims could be part of a continued propaganda strategy to confuse and put pressure on allies in the region. India has not confirmed any loss of fighter aircraft, including the French-made Rafale jets. According to a report from TR Haber, Athens has voiced concerns regarding the capabilities and dependability of the Rafale jets, as they have now cited the alleged downing of a Rafale by Pakistan's Chinese-manufactured JF-17 fighter. Greece has purchased 24 Rafale jets from France, of which they have received all 18 between 2021 and 2023, with 6 more due for delivery by December 31st, 2024, which will be stationed at Tanagra Air Base. Turkish media outlet TR Haber reported, 'Greece, which aims to establish air superiority over Ankara with Rafales, became concerned after the developments. Questioning the performance of the Rafales could lead Greece to reconsider its defence strategy.' Turkish media outlet TR Haber claimed that Greece, which hopes to gain an edge over Turkey with its Rafale jets, is now feeling uneasy after recent events. The report said some Greek media are questioning the Rafale's performance, which might lead Greece to rethink its defence plans—though it didn't name any sources. It also added that Turkey's push for homegrown weapons and its fast-growing military strength are making Greece more nervous.

(File) Ankara: Bankrupt Pakistan is not refraining from spreading propaganda despite facing a humiliating loss to India. However, this terror state is getting the full support of its allies. Countries like China and Turkey are openly amplifying Pakistan's propaganda. Turkey, in particular, has now started threatening India's allies. Pakistan claims to have shot down Indian fighter jets. While India has acknowledged the loss of its aircraft, it has not disclosed how the jets were downed or how many were lost. Turkey is now threatening Greece—India's close ally. Turkish media is using Pakistan's statements to intimidate Greece. Greece, like India, has also purchased 24 Rafale fighter jets from France. Turkish conservative media platform TR Haber has launched new propaganda, claiming that Greece is uncertain about the capabilities of the French fighter jets it recently acquired. The main objective of TR Haber's report is to portray that if Pakistan can target Indian aircraft using China-made JF-17 jets and PL-15 missiles, then Greece's reliance on Rafale fighter jets could be dangerous for it. Tensions between Turkey and Greece have existed for decades, and it is evident from Turkish media reports that Turkey is trying to intimidate Greece. In essence, Turkey wants to use the India-Pakistan conflict to serve its own agenda. Meanwhile, Turkish media conveniently omits reports about how India destroyed Turkish drones as easily as slicing vegetables.
