Smoke rises from the crash site
Footage managed to capture the moment the aircraft came down near Platanistos and Karystos, two villages in Evia.
An emergency response helicopter is en route to the crash site to assess the situation.
The Greek government said in a statement: "The loss of the lives of Air Force Officers and firefighting aircraft operators, in the line of duty and while attempting to protect the lives and property of citizens, as well as the environment of our country, is deeply saddening.
"Our thoughts are with their families and colleagues, to whom we extend our most sincere condolences."
The terrifying clip appears to show a small aircraft crashing into a tree as it swoops towards the ground. Just before it erupts in a fiery ball on the hillside, the pilot appears to attempt to pull the plane up to safety.
According to initial reports, two people were on board at the time. The aircraft is said to belong to the Greek Air Force's 355th Tactical Transport Squadron.
Greece has been since the late 40s a protectorate to a couple of big global players and of course under the boot of the Global Elite.
Especially since the 70s all our governments have worked very hard to dismantle the country and all its production abilities.
In the last 13 years the effort has moved up several notches, as due to the "financial crisis" the government has had the opportunity to destroy most of our productive sectors (through taxation and insane bureaucracy and fines).
Our latest PM, Mitsotakis, who now started his second term through some very questionably won elections, is widely considered a very corrupt and very hated person and in his reign the Deep State is doing its things without shame or even the slightest form of inhibition. We're being constantly bitchslapped by the corrupt State, yet amazingly the people just sit there dumbfounded.
It has been widely observed that the DS acts to first let everything break down and waits for "accidents" to happen. So is the case here. The govt easily spends millions to support the MSM and all the big families in Greece, but when it comes to maintaining and improving infrastructures, there never is any money
