Why does PASOK-KINAL accuse YETHA of “playing with Airmen’s morale”! Onslaught

The Defense Sector of PASOK-KINAL, in a statement, accuses the Defense Minister Nikos Dendias of “playing” with the morale of the Air Force personnel with the announcements he made about the sale of a large number of fighter aircraft.

The announcement titled

MORAL IMPROPERTY?

“In his recent statements, the Minister of National Defense referred, in the context of the 2030 agenda, to the sale, among other things, of ultra-modern M2000-5.

The actions of the Minister triggered a huge disturbance and concern among the Airmen and technicians of the 114th Fighter Wing, one of the main first-line units and the M2000-5 fighters, which are tasked with covering the central Aegean and not only, but mainly the operational strategic weapons utilization role Scalp.

The Airmen of the M2000-5 are charged with the execution of their very serious mission, to train every day as they will fight, but also to intercept in the Aegean and wherever necessary the review claims of the neighbor, while the technicians and all the personnel involved support them – maintain the said A/F in the best possible way.

It is the responsibility of the Ministry of Health, which despite the approved FOS, has not yet managed to meet the needs of the full operational restoration of the M2000-5 fleet as a whole. The minister decides that … the aircraft doesn’t work for us and we have to sell it.

Taking this operationally and technically and economically unacceptable decision in view of the importance of his party claims, his visibility and the alleged restructuring of the ED with the 2030 agenda, shakes the moral and mind of airmen and all personnel involved, the no-cost power multiplier. The executives’ dedication to their mission and duty is shaken by his own mishandling. We call on the Minister to distance himself from political expediency and intra-party intrigues, to support the soulful potential that works hard to guard Thermopylae, takes care of the national sovereignty and the sovereign rights of the country, utilizing and supporting this modern O/S of major value and importance.

Let him show due respect to all those who create the right conditions for us to sleep peacefully and build the future of the country.”
