The Turks are behind bars on the occasion of the list of equipment of the Greek Armed Forces of 52 weapon systems as well as the modernization of others, planned by the Greek Armed Forces between 2023 and 2027.
The list includes modernization and acquisition projects within the Hellenic Army, from fighter jets to automatic rifles.
"Greece, which is in military competition with Turkey, and faces a very serious external debt for this reason, owes billions of euros to EU countries such as France and Germany, which supply most of their weapons systems to this country" , reports a Turkish expert.
The only dalkas of the Turks is to withdraw our army from the islands of the Eastern Aegean and not to buy or modernize our Armed Forces. Why;
The answer is known and easily understood even by the ignorant, since in such a case we would be the target of Turkish challenges, while at a special time, we would even lose national territory, as happened in Cyprus in 1974.
Now with the purchase of so many weapon systems, the cost that the Turkish Armed Forces will be asked to pay in any "we will come one night suddenly" type of war operation will be heavy, so heavy that the walls of Erdogan's Sarai will fall.
The Turks are well aware of this and that is why they shout, even if they achieve anything, but in vain.
According to the list, the Greek Land Forces in the coming years are preparing:
- The modernization of 183 tanks of all types.
- The purchase of 205 new armored fighting vehicles.
- The purchase of 76 amphibious armored vehicles from the US.
- The purchase of 12 used armored engineer vehicles.
- The purchase of 60 M1070A1 tanks.

- The co-production of thousands of 7.62 mm automatic rifles. along with sniper rifles, machine guns, 40mm grenade launchers, composite helmets, thermal scopes.
- In addition to new purchases, upgrades, support equipment, and the flow of parts will continue for existing systems.
The Hellenic Navy, which has the largest missions in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Aegean, will:

- In the procurement of long-range air defense system, while on the other hand, activities will be carried out to modernize various systems and maintain support services.
"It is a matter of curiosity with what budget Greece will make all these purchases. Unlike Greece, Turkey carries out more than 750 defense programs with significant success in the domestic defense industry", emphasizes the Turkish expert, but we will leave him with the question since as a nation we are determined to defend every inch of Greek land, which the Turks have set their sights on.
