A message that the strong Armed Forces "shield our national independence, protect our sovereign rights and national sovereignty and are a necessary condition for freedom and prosperity", broadcast Kyriakos Mitsotakis during his visit to the Underwater Disaster Management in Skaramangas and the Specialist Training Center Dynamion, in Megalo Pefkos, on Tuesday morning (18/4).
The Prime Minister emphasized that both the government and himself personally always stand by the Armed Forces. “Not only in terms of your equipment, you know the significant upgrades we've been able to achieve over the last few years. However, we also stand in support of the dynamic potential of the Armed Forces. This is what we have an obligation to do," said Kyriakos Mitsotakis.
Among other things, the Prime Minister watched the nine senior students of the 197-198 series of the UK school practice in a combat arena. Afterwards, Kyriakos Mitsotakis boarded an unorthodox warship and fast transport vessel "Aeolos" and headed to the Special Forces Training Center, in Megalo Pefkos, where he was shown around the newly built premises of the KEED by the Commander of the Interbranch Command of Special Operations Major General Konstantinos Alexakis.
From the KEED Headquarters, the Prime Minister watched a military demonstration with the deployment of helicopters, Zodiac outboards, jet skis and paratroopers for the purpose of occupying the coast and rescuing a hostage.
The Prime Minister was accompanied by the Minister of National Defense Nikos Panagiotopoulos, the Deputy Minister of National Defense Nikos Hardalias, the Chief of Defense Forces General Konstantinos Floros, the Chief of General Staff Vice-Admiral Ioannis Drymousis, the Commander of the Defense Forces Captain Konstantinos Nassopoulos and the National Security Adviser, Tho Anos Dokos.
