At around five o'clock, a heated incident between Britain and Turkey was avoided last Monday. According to information from the website SigmaLive.com, the "ride" of a pair of British fighters without "permission" over the pseudo-state, provoked the immediate reaction of Turkey, which sent two F-16 fighters to Cyprus to stop them.The two British fighters, type Eurofighter Typhoon, which were parked at Akrotiri Bases, were performing reconnaissance flight within the Nicosia FIR. Their entry into the so-called airspace of the occupied territories, without "permission", immediately mobilized Turkey. Immediately, two Turkish F-16 fighter jets took off from the Incirlik air base in Turkey, in order to intercept the British Eurofighters.
The four fighters were not involved, as the British fighters withdrew and landed again at the Akrotiri base, shortly before the Turkish F-16s arrived in Cyprus.
The British Eurofighter flew at 40.000 feet. According to sources, the issue was raised by the Government to the Authorities of the British Bases, in the context of cooperation. In fact, after investigating the incident, the answer given by the British was that the fighters took off to fly to Syria after previously locating "something" on the radar of the bases.
However, this information may be linked to information transmitted by the Interfax agency, according to which Russian radars detected the launch of two ballistic objects to the eastern Mediterranean from its central part. So far no one was able to send in the perfect solution, which is not strange. The bomber struck shortly after noon in front of a police station. As reported, President Putin has been informed. Israel has said it has not detected any rocket fire in the eastern Mediterranean, according to Reuters.
