The Greek army suddenly decided to buy Turkish drones

Turkish company Assuva Savunma Sanayi, specializing in the production of drones, announced on Tuesday that the Greek Defense Ministry has decided to purchase 50 tactical UAVs from it.

According to the manufacturer, the army of the neighboring state intends to use this technique during search and rescue operations and demining. Earlier, the Greek military received two UAVs of the Proton Elic RB-128 type, which were successfully tested.

We will soon complete an order for 50 unmanned aerial vehicles that will be used in operations in underground tunnels, rooms, bunkers and other combat activities of the Greek army

- explained in the company.

The UAV is said to be capable of capturing images from a distance of up to 1 km above the ground or up to 50 meters below it, working under the surface thanks to a thermal imager.

Assuva previously sold similar systems to China and Sri Lanka. According to the company, the drones it produces are the result of the work of Turkish engineers who have created their own hardware and software.

We pride ourselves on making the world's finest search, rescue and even underground imaging devices

- stated in Assuva.

A strange move by the Greeks. For all their "love", buying weapons from the enemy is like that ..

A strange move by the Greeks.

If such drones are used by the Turkish army, then the decision of the Greeks is not strange: a batch of enemy drones should be purchased already in order to dissect, identify vulnerabilities and work out ways to deal with them. If drones can work underground, they can deliver "gifts" there. Turkey may prohibit its sale to Greece for its company.

The desire to study the technique of the enemy is certainly understandable, but the Turks are unlikely to sell them something interesting.

[Pavel73]

Interesting ... Aren't the Greeks with the Turks at knives?

[Antifreeze]

The Greeks need to be careful. What if the technique refuses to obey at the most inopportune moment?

[V1er]

It would be like if the news came that Ukraine bought drones from Russia. And then, Ukraine is closer to us than Greece for Turkey. They are eternal enemies since the Ottoman conquests and the subsequent yoke over the Balkans. The Turks also squeezed a part of Cyprus from the Greeks, they are going to extract resources there.

[WOLF330]

Nobody squeezed anything from anyone. There, Greeks and Turks have always lived together. If it was taken away, it was only from the British. And the Greeks once woke up and imagined themselves to be the main ones on the island. Then it started running.

Ukraine buys military equipment from Russia, for sure, it does it on the sly, because it is forbidden, and the Greeks are not forbidden to buy in Turkey.

A significant part of the Turks, the intelligentsia, almost all of them are Turkic Greeks,
- so that by blood it is practically one people.

Here is a vivid illustration for those who like "you need to fit in with your brothers in faith", we will collect all the bumps on ourselves, and then they will take care of our interests and interests. You have to be very careful.

One of the best options to study and use the advanced developments of a "potential enemy" for your goals is to acquire them, for example. Danny UAV, if it really has such characteristics, really interesting!

It is necessary to buy one F35 in the USA ... In return, do not sell anything, arguing that we have nothing interesting. We plan our new developments from logs, like Pinocchio in a fairy tale. After all, we are a gas station country, torn to shreds many times.
Show the inflatable S400 and say that this is not a model, but a combat model.

[pytar]

An inflatable S-400 will not work. The Turks have real ones. They will bargain, the Americans will close their eyes to the problem with the F35, and get what they need ...

the military department of Greece decided to purchase 50 tactical UAVs from it

The Greeks decided to grease the Turks a little or is it such a cunning plan - are we going to beat the enemy with his own weapon? Yes, let them buy what they want, if only there is enough money.

[WOLF330]

Well, the Greeks, being in NATO, bought the S-300. What prevents them from acquiring NATO samples?

[parkello]

the Greeks did not buy the S-300, the Cypriots bought it, and the Turks raised a howl ... and gave the S-300 to the Greeks. for storage. They were disassembled for 12 years. until the Russians collected them and handed them over in finished form, the year before last

[WOLF330]

and the Cypriots, as I understand it, are not Greeks at all, right?))

[parkello]

Kiipr is a separate state .. now, wherever Armenians live, will we call them Armenia? and again, you should know. Cypriots and I have separate defense ministries ... and purchases for them do not go to our army. just know for the future and do not confuse the procurement of the Cyprus Self-Defense Army and the Greek Army

[dinos]

"A private drone manufacturer in Turkey has won a contract to sell 50 miniature tactical drones to the Greek Ministry of Defense, despite escalating regional tensions between the two neighbors over energy resources in the Eastern Mediterranean and Turkey's maritime borders."

EDITOR'S NOTE Defense News: "An article on the announced sale of drones has been deleted. Based on a review, Defense News determined that its sources did not meet our standards. We are taking steps to ensure that this does not happen again."
In short, a fake, which in turn was confirmed by the Minister of Defense of Greece.
The news is about nothing.

[WOLF330]

On Greek TV channels, they only do that they turn topics about Turkish UAVs. Every single day, this topic is discussed with this or that expert. Well, what's wrong with that, they themselves advertised, by the way, the capabilities of this product fully justify the money spent on it.

[parkello]

and I have been living here for 30 years, but I have not heard about the purchases of Turkish UAVs by the Greeks ... so calm down ... do not talk about anything like that on our television

Couldn't the Greeks choose the Chinese for themselves? China now makes such UAVs no worse, and cheaper.

Of course they cannot, the Greeks do not have geopolitical independence, deeply in debt,
China is now closed to them in principle.

You probably haven't read the article (haven't finished reading it)?

Assuva previously sold similar systems China and Sri Lanka.
