It's a check on Erdogan's Turkey.

Good move. Turkey should be in check.

It's a check on Erdogan's Turkey.

Greece awarded a military tender (1.65 billion $, training aircraft) to Israel.
If that tender were not awarded to Israel then it would've been awarded to USA, France, Germany etc.
Would Greece award that tender to Turkish companies they'd fullfill it as well.
Doesn't mean anyone will fight for Greece.
It is mathematically not possible for Greece to win anything in a confrontation against Turkey.

If they were such great allies, they'd have fulfilled the contract free of cost given how bad Greece's fiscal (debt) situation is.
Business is business.

The agreement includes a $1.65 billion contract for the establishment and operation of a training centre for the Hellenic Air Force by Israeli defence contractor Elbit Systems (ESLT.TA) over a 22-year period, Israel's defence ministry said.
The training centre will be modelled on Israel's own flight academy and will be equipped with 10 M-346 training aircraft produced by Italy's Leonardo (LDOF.MI), the ministry said.

Greece understands they cannot prevail in a military confrontation with Turkey unless Turkey is threatened to the east by Armenia-Russia and the Kurds put pressure, even then it is doubtful. Greece could not defend the islands mere kilometers from Turkish shores and would instead seek to secure Crete and the Central Aegean with its naval and air forces while launching a tank attack on the Turkish Thrace region befitting their tanks, eventually threatening Constantinople and bombing it bridges.

The idea is to make any Turkish aggression to costly for consideration. Some European powers, French naval forces especially would likely assist particularly if it was an overt display of Turkish aggression.
