At the peak of tensions between Greece and Turkey in the East Mediterranean, the 40-year-old Greek frigate Limnos significantly damaged the Kemal Reis, the flagship of the Turkish Navy that was violating Greece’s maritime space whilst escorting the Oruç Reis research vessel. However, as previously reported, only days after the Limnos severely damaged the Kemal Reis, specifically on August 20, a pair of Turkish F-16 fighter jets attempted to intervene in a Greek military exercise between the Army and the Air Force that was taking place close to the island of Rhodes. The Greek Air Force once again showed why their pilots are superior and why they have won in consecutive years NATO’s “Best Warrior” awards when they allowed the Turkish pair to penetrate deep into Greece’s airspace before appearing out of nowhere and trapping the Turkish jets in a pincer movement. The Turkish Kemal Reis frigate leaving the convoy escorting Turkey’s Oruç Reis research vessel has been noted after its collision with the Greek Limnos frigate, Hellas Journal reported. This movement away from the Oruç Reis may be related to the bad weather in the southeastern Aegean and the Mediterranean where the Turkish naval convoy is. As it sustained severe damage in its collision, the Kemal Reis would be having difficulty contending with the stormy sea and waves that are reaching 2.5-3 meters. A warship does not leave the field of operations easily, officers explained, saying that the Turks are trying to protect their frigate until it reaches the nearest port to repair the damage caused. Although Turkey continuously denies that the Kemal Reis has sustained any damage, video footage shows it veering unnaturally to the side, as reported by Greek City Times.
