The Germans threw Greece a financial noose, the Americans - an armory. Gone are the days when they said that "everything is in Greece." In my opinion today only bondage.

Greece has recovered from the crisis?

[rotmistr60]

It is a question or a statement? Judging by the sign, the question is, but why to me? Read the comment.

She is being driven there more and more by imposing unnecessary scrap metal.

Did the Greeks decide to expel the Turkish invaders from Cyprus?

Greece's INR Panos Kammenos said on Twitter that the F-16 modernization program will cost 1,1 billion euros (1,3 billion dollars), the rest is related to assistance and compensation programs.

Combat combatant fighters do not exist and never existed. Now, apparently, the poor Greeks will have it, as everyone knows.

A heavy Su-27 combatant fighter from the Russian Knights air group never existed. In general, the whole world is an illusion.

So write the same experts as you - couch experts, do not take it seriously.

Dada, you’re the only one with us who is an unsurprising linguist and expert in Russian. Svetoch aki Pushkin.

Pilots of combat regiments, these happen, but not planes. I do not like Pushkin, an unsuccessful example.
