1. No machinegun visible in the video unlike on the photo you posted
2. Coast Guard is not Navy and thus they are not 'soldiers' but civilian like police

This intrusion is bad but no need to make it bigger than it is. Keep your anxiety to twitter please.

1- Machine gun "of the boat", yes my bad. But, we both know they are armed.
2- From official :
The Coast Guard - Hellenic Coast Guard is an armed security force, militarily organized, whose uniformed personnel have the status of military, according to the Military Penal Code (MPC).

I will ignore your messages from now on, please you do too if you are so disturbed that I am trying to be a voice against an openly hostile situation.

Thus a gendarmerie force.

You'll find a very small audience on here for your concerns. Twitter has a much better reach. Just an advice.

How credible is this? Would be a major geopolitical move and dampen ties with Russia

All these news originated from from Lena Argiri. I am not sure how credible Lena is.

The move could easily be seen as an extremely stupid one, as Türkiye once was a manufacturing partner, has lost billions since 2019 due to getting kicked out of JSF, and will only be a customer now. So, that news might not look credible, but such decisions under Erdogan's rule have long been common (please refer to the Turkish economic regression .

Finally some more info on TAI Su-25 modernization called Lacin:

If my calculations are correct, the ALP500-G might very well be ~4-4.6 times larger than the ALP300-G. With a corresponding increase in range if the power is also quadrupled to 450x4=1800km! Without said increase in power, the range increases to 1400km.

(Container height looks more like 2.896m than 2.591m or 2.438m)

Edit: Alp-500G is more like ~2.6/2.8 larger than Alp-300G. Range increases from 450km to ~800km/850km if power is not increased.

I need to me more careful and double check my calculations...

And it finally flew!
