GREEK MIRAGE 2000-5EG CRASHES WHILE RETURNING FROM QRA MISSION

A Hellenic Air Force (HAF) fighter pilot Flight Lieutenant (I) Giorgos Baltadoros (34) lost his life on 12 April when his Mirage 2000-5EG Mk.II single-engine jet fighter crashed in the Aegean Sea at 12.15 local time due to unknown reasons.

The aircraft went down nine nautical miles north-east of island Skyros while returning with another aircraft of the same type from a quick reaction alert (QRA) mission to intercept Turkish Air Force F-16 Fighting Falcon jet fighters that have violated Greek air space near the island of Lesbos, Greek defence ministry officials informed.

The crashed aircraft belonged to the 331 All Weather Squadron "Thisseas" that been constantly based at Tanagra air base, located 42 km north-west of Athens, is subordinated to 114 Combat Wing of the Hellenic Tactical Air Force (HTAF). At the moment of the accident the aircraft operated as part of the forward-deployed HTAF's 135 Combat Group based at Skyros, some 120 km north-east of Athens in central Aegean sea.

Between 27 April 1988 and 23 November 2007 Greece acquired 55 newly-produced Dassault Mirage 2000 jet fighters: 36 Mirage 2000EG and 10 Mirage 2000-5EG Mk.II single-seat fighters plus 4 Mirage 2000BG and 5 Mirage 2000-5BG Mk.II twin-seat combat-capable trainers.

In the late 1990s, the EG/BG fleet was locally modernized by Hellenic Aerospace Industry (HAI) to carry Super 530D medium-range air-to-air missiles and AM39B2 Exocet stand-off anti-ship missiles. This resulted with EG/BG-aircraft been re-designated EGM/BGM. In 2000, Greece ordered 15 brand-new Mirage 2000-5 Mk.II jets (10 single-seat and 5 twin-seat aircraft) while at the same time modernizing at HAI 10 Mirage 2000EGM single-seat aircraft to more modern Mirage 2000-5 Mk.II standard.

Skyros fatal loss came only two weeks before the 30th anniversary of the introduction of Mirage 2000 in HAF service. The accident - first in Greece that involves Mirage 2000-5 Mk.II aircraft - has declined Tanagra-based delta-fighter fleet to 43 aircraft: 331 squadron now has 24 Mirage 2000-5 Mk.II (19 single-seat and 5 twin-seat jets) while its sister 332 All Weather Squadron "Geraki" continues operating 17 Mirage 2000EGM and a pair of Mirage 2000BGM jet fighters.
