The incident happened between Turkish F-16 and Greek Mirage 2000 probably on 31 October. The Turkish F-16 launched in BVR conditions one AIM-120B AMRAAM against the Greek aircraft. The missile missed. The assumption is that the self protection system of Mirage 2000 the ICMS Mk I, enabled his powerful jammer, which has practically blind, so the radar of the F-16, APG-68 as probably the active seeker of the missile itself. In response to this a Greek Mirage fired in BVR conditions as well one S-530D which probably missed also. The incident was kept secret by both sides. The engagement published today in the Greek press. The official position of the Hellenic Air Force has not yet been made known. The incident probably related to the signing of the Agreement of the natural gas transmission pipeline from the Caspian Sea to Italy, in the sense that some wanted to postpone this agreement by creating a serious incident between the two countries. The pipeline is linking Turkey-Greece and Italy. The signing of the agreement between the prime ministers of Greece and Turkey, for the part that crosses Turkey and Greece, was held after all, 15 days later on November 16.
