Haven't they also been posturing with planes against the Greeks a couple of times? Or am I wrong and there is 0 hostility whatsoever between the Greeks and the Turks
I wonder if this is where we’ll first see an F-16 shoot down another F-16. MiG on MiG combat has been a thing, of course (most recently in Ukraine but I’m sure there’s been more in the post-Soviet past), but the disintegration of the US’s sphere of influence will inevitably go “hot” (:trump-anguish: ) at some point
I tried to find info on the Tajik Civil War, but it seems no one in the Opposition had planes, and the Tajiks relied on Russia for air-support but seemingly never had to dogfight. I assume some of Egypt's wars as well as India's have seen MiG vs MiG combat
Yes, indeed - hence my saying it was somewhat indirect. Greece is a NATO member, and they were a belligerent in the war. ELDYK (and supposedly a Greek airborne battalion) were involved in multiple battles in the war. Hence, Turkey, a NATO country, were at war with Greece, another NATO country.
who lets the greeks put a battalion in the country they were fomenting communal violence in lmao. the UN peacekeepers were already in the country preinvasion
Only NATO country to have been at war with another NATO country, afaik
Edit: somewhat indirectly, of course

Planes and warships apparently!
Ah, there it is. Just two NATO allies being friends, good buddies, and comrades in arms :wholesome:
:comfy:
