Patras Araxos arrestor cable?

[SLF]

Just back from a long weekend courtesy of Ryanair.

As we taxied down the runway past the Hellenic air force (no separate taxiway), was that a "pop-up arrestor cable" across the runway at the end?

Liked the camouflaged fire truck, all the better to sneak up when the fire’s not looking :)

Thanks - SLF

Most likely. Several of the islands airports are shared facilities with the Hellenic air force. Tire shredders.....I mean arrestor cables are common currency.
