The exact figure of 510 violations for 2026 appears only in media reporting of the MEP's own statement; no independent primary source (Hellenic National Defence General Staff / Ministry of Defence annual tally) containing the 510 figure was found.
An independent source (Kathimerini) reports 225 Turkish airspace violations for 2025 (and zero in 2024), which supports a large year-on-year increase but implies a 2026/2025 ratio closer to 2.3x than an exact doubling (a strict doubling of 225 would be 450).
The session took place on 8 October 2026, so any '2026' figure is a partial-year/provisional count and not a completed annual total.
Some data points (e.g. daily GEETHA violation counts) originate from the same underlying official source as the claim, so the MEP's figure and the available reporting are not fully independent.
