I'll bet Erdogan can hardly wait to unleash them on the Greeks...
Not entirely sure what they can do that a supersonic fighter-bomber
can't do better.
That'll be a bit difficult considering how Erdogan "fired"

Isn't that "firing squad" ??? :-)
He's had enough time to get a new batch more or
less trained. If he could manage to stay on good
terms with Russia they'd help - but that alliance is
on-again/off-again (fortunately).
As for the Greek AF .... I suppose they are trained OK,
but as for NUMBERS I'd have to look that up. Likely
not all that many relative to Turkey.
Anyway, as Iran recently demonstrated in Saudi, the
best weapon of the moment seems to be the cruise
missile. Fire and forget - and the guidance/AI has
vastly improved over the past decade or so. Aircraft
still have their uses ... but IMHO that advantage is
more for targets that are hard to pin down exactly
or perhaps naval targets. Sometimes you need a
human looking out the window - and to plot an
attack strategy on the spot.
