Pakistani submarines in the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean - Visit of Pakistani submarine force chief to Turkey

There is a serious possibility that we may see Pakistani submarines in our region, due to the close cooperation between the Turkish and Pakistani Armed Forces.   

"The Pakistan Submarine Fleet Commander and the accompanying delegation visited the Turkish Submarine Fleet Command and its affiliated units with representatives of defence industry organisations and conducted surveys," Turkish media reported.

The Pakistanis are also interested in Turkish submarines, probably of the MILDEM type, with which they will want to cover their own needs, which is why they made this visit to Turkey.

Islamabad will also participate in exercises with the Turkish Navy in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Aegean, as it has done before.

The possible Turkish plan to try to cancel Aegean-Mediterranean exploration by Greece-Cyprus

Ankara since 2006 has established the "Mediterranean Shield", which is essentially a permanent deployment of surface and submarine units to protect the Mediterranean..in general, but is essentially an active regular warfare operation to safeguard the illegal "Blue Homeland".

In any attempt by the Turks to challenge us, the State of Pakistan will surely be an accomplice, lending a false legitimacy through the "Shield of the Mediterranean".
   
Turkish warships are already carrying out reconnaissance and surveillance activities in the same area under Operation Mediterranean Shield.

The Turkish navy, through Operation Mediterranean Shield, wishes to ban all movements of hydrocarbon exploration and extraction vessels in the so-called Mediterranean EEZ area.

Usually two frigates, together with a corvette, carry out this naval operation of the Turkish navy, whenever the Turkish leadership deems it necessary.

Also on occasion this force is reinforced with Three-Four warships, AFNS aircraft, Coast Guard vessels , SH-70 helicopters and SAT-SAS commando teams.

The possible presence of the Pakistanis in the Aegean has brought back to the surface the signed defence agreement in Islamabad between Turkey and Pakistan, which we had predicted the new "walks" of the Pakistani navy in the Mediterranean, causing outrage both in Cyprus and Greece.

As we had reported, it is estimated that the Turks, continuing the "path" of constant provocation, intimidation and unreasonable demands, will attempt to declare an EEZ "between the areas of Crete and Cyprus", sending a memorandum to the UN, as they did with the Turkish-Cypriot memorandum.

The next period until France takes delivery of the Greek Belhara surface combatants along with the French Rafale aircraft will be the most critical period.

These are moves, which are expected to multiply in the coming period, as Erdogan is preparing the full implementation of the ''Blue Homeland'' plan, which is why we see this ''project'' in Evros with the assistance of illicit traffickers directed by Ankara.
