Significant changes have been made to its business plan recently Ministry of National Defense in order to make Evros inaccessible but also all the land borders of the country. According to his information newsbeast The firepower, the fortifications and the equipment that has been transferred to the border line after the last Greek-Turkish crisis have been so well studied that "no more mosquitoes passAs typically stated by those in the know.
After all, the multiple shielding is considered necessary for multiple reasons after the warning of the Egyptian President, General Abdul Fatah Saeed Hussein Khalil al-Sisi to the Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, that Turkey is a tool in our country.
Let's see in detail what is happening according to the information we have from the Greek "Pentagon" and can see the light of day. The construction of the new 26 km long fence in the southern part of Evros, which will not only be monitored on a XNUMX-hour basis, but will also mean an alarm every time someone tries to violate it, is proceeding at a very fast pace. there is no purpose at that point at that time.
The new wall which will be raised will consist of a strong metal railing of galvanized steel 5 meters high, with vertical ones. At the top there will be a five millimeter thick sheet with anti-climbing function so that no one can pass it. All this will be based on piles that will be located at a depth of 6 meters in the ground and it should be noted that the design of the fence will be such that it will also function as a flood protection project.
Eight new anti-ballistic observatories are also being built by the Greek Army in order to deal with any threat from the opposite bank of the river. Evros, such as the one that took place last February, when Turkey tried to unilaterally open its borders to Greece, to pass thousands of refugees and migrants seeking to reach the European Union. At that time, a Turkish armored car of European origin tried to break the existing fence but did not succeed. Nevertheless, the firewall is being strengthened even more now.
In addition, in addition to the wall, new artificial obstacles are being placed in various places at this time, so even if someone managed to cross the fence, he would stop in the second line of defense. The installation of these obstacles is done by the Engineer Units and the construction units of the Army Formations of the area, under the instructions of the General Staff of National Defense.
What is also changing significantly is the border surveillance as this will now be done with new electronic means supplied by our army. As those who know us tell us meaningfully "we are no longer content with just the night-vision goggles, thermal cameras or what most people expect». Additional lighting is added that if lit up in its entirety will be able to do… night day.
Also innovative is the supply and transfer to the borders of state-of-the-art sonic weapons that can "drive" the enemy crazy. These are new non-lethal handguns that have been successfully tested by police forces abroad in order to prevent offensive actions. These weapons are called Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD) and can immobilize the opponent simply by the volume.
In essence, they are large speakers that, when activated, emit a very loud sound that resembles the common car alarm that "pierces" your ears. It reaches an intensity of 162 dB (decibels), when for example the compressor creates noise 105 dB, a shot 140 and the air raid siren 150 dB. It causes unbearable pain in the ears and if you listen to it for just 7 seconds at high volume you risk permanent damage to the ears. The brain goes "crazy", causing shock, panic, nausea and loss of orientation to the victim.
The same device can also play very loud music or transmit audio messages over a distance of more than three kilometers. Abroad many call them "sound bullets" and their operators have the ability to deflect the sound in a certain direction or angle, depending on where the insurgent crowd or the general opponent is.
However, the new measures do not stop here as in addition to all the above, a significant part of the 45 double-cab four-wheel drive vehicles supplied by the Army General Staff will also be transferred to the border according to the plan that has been prepared (the first ones have already arrived) to offer upgraded patrols and faster reaction to any incidents that may occur in the future. The rest of the vehicles will be transported to large islands in the Aegean Sea where there are military units.
Also, since the summer, the Ministry of National Defense has proceeded with the supply of double-cab four-wheel drive pick-up vehicles that move with great comfort in the inaccessible area of the northeastern border of our country, which in winter is filled with mud or snow. We just remind, so for the record, that the arrest on March 1, 2018 of the two Greek soldiers (then lieutenant Angelos Mitretodis and EPOP sergeant Dimitris Kouklatzis) by the Turks in Evros, had taken place at night, during a patrol with very bad weather conditions in inaccessible areas.
The creation of the new fortification works is done in constant consultation with the Maximos Palace and in this context lies the last visit of the Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis in Evros together with the Minister of National Defense Nikos Panagiotopoulos and the Deputy Minister Alkiviadis Stefanis. In fact, when the fortification works go even further and we are approaching the completion of the fence, there will be a re-visit to the remote area so that there is a complete picture of the new data.
