Two Greek F-16 Fighting Falcon fighter jets took off from Andreas Papandreou Air Base in Paphos, but according to sources, this was a scheduled training activity and there is no reason for concern. The takeoff was part of the continuous training and operational readiness of personnel. The flights of the fighter jets are part of routine exercises carried out to maintain a high level of readiness of the crews and forces operating from the Paphos air base. No alarm has been raised and there is no threat. The presence of the F-16s in Paphos is part of the strengthening of military cooperation between Greece and Cyprus, as well as ensuring national security in the region.
