Greater loafers than the Greeks did not meet. And everyone’s conceit is enough for three. We don’t need such areas, let them clean ourselves, there are enough free parasites.

But what are they going to pay in cash? Where did the Greeks get money for weapons?

By the way, the dosihpor world lives in the era of Hellenic civilization. Greece also has the world's largest merchant fleet, which we never even had in mind. Of all the NATO states, only Greece is friendly to Russia, even more friendly than Ukraine. If you look at the Greek army, we will see a well-balanced structure equipped with modern weapons. And the deplorable economic condition in which it is now arriving is a once prosperous state, it is a good example of Euro integration, a good example for Ukrainians and others who want to try the good of modern Europe. The main negative factor for Greece was the decline in the country's economic resources in comparison with their main enemy, Turkey, which makes good use of its monetary unit, the lira, and due to its cheapness compared to the euro, Turkey reached very decent economic indicators over a decade. In this regard, to my heart I do not understand the Greek perseverance in the vote against Turkey’s entry into the European Union. If Turkey has entered, it is also now asking for alms from Germany. In general, the European Union from rich countries made the countries even richer, and made the less wealthy just poor and now these rich countries dictate their conditions to the poor. The business of rich countries buys the assets of the poor for a penny. Here's a situation like this. Sincerely.

[Migari]

Here we are not talking about arms deliveries, but the Greeks and grandmothers are still shitty, but about cooperation, Greece has long acquired our weapons, despite the fact that it is a NATO bloc.

This document will eliminate the existing barriers in the field of military-technical cooperation and optimize the interaction between the defense enterprises of our countries

[Valery Neonov]

However, a good thing in the long run ... Slowly from there and from here ...

[Grandson of Veteran]

I still do not understand from the article, are we to them or will they supply us? I was sure that Greece is a member of NATO? If I am mistaken, correct it.

[self-propelled]

Yes, Greece is a member of NATO, but Russian weapons are also in service.
At various times, the Greek Ministry of Defense acquired from Russia and adopted, integrating them into a single national air defense system, the following anti-aircraft missile systems:
- С-300ПМУ1 (in 1996, a contract was signed for two divisions - 12 launchers - of the complex С-300ПМУ1 with Cyprus, but due to tough opposition from Turkey, the complexes were transferred to the Greek military and relocated to the island of Crete, and the Cyprus Armed Forces were received in return Osa-AKM and Puma helicopters, and subsequently acquired also Tor-M1 air defense systems);
- “Tor-M1” (during 1999 – 2002, 31 combat vehicle — launcher and eight battery command posts of this air defense system were delivered, an option was provided for 29 combat vehicles by the contract; a number of Tor-M1 air defense systems were transferred to the Cyprus Armed Forces in exchange for the latest Russian-made air defense systems S-300ПМУ1);
- Osa-AKM (in the 1992 year 12 of the Osa-AKM air defense system was transferred to Greece from the arsenal of the armed forces of the united Germany, and in the 1997 year Russia delivered the 16 air defense system of the Osa-AKM).
In addition, Russia supplied the Greek Navy with three small hovercraft (MDKVP) of the 12322 Zubr project (the fourth ship was delivered by Ukraine), which in terms of their tactical and technical elements are any analogues armed with the naval forces of foreign countries . According to the experience of many years of operation, they have proven themselves in the conditions of a regional theater.
They also delivered the Kornet-E anti-tank missile system (near 200); RPG-18 hand-held anti-tank grenade launchers (of the order of 18 thousand units), as well as two Mi-26 heavy military transport helicopters. The special forces and a number of units of the Greek Navy are armed with AK-74 assault rifles, the troops have a significant number of ZU-23-2 anti-aircraft gun mounts, and BMP-400 infantry fighting vehicles are located at storage bases near 1. The armored vehicles were obtained from Germany (initially the Bundeswehr transferred 500 armored vehicles), which at one time was supposed to be modernized, but then this project was frozen. In addition, in order to closer cooperation in the military-technical field and to improve the quality of after-sales services for Russian military hardware, a corresponding organization was created - the joint Russian-Greek enterprise Rosoboronservis-Hellas.

And what weapons, besides the tactics of olives and Metaxa volumetric explosion, the Greeks can supply us. We give them a weapon, and they give us, in the absence of their money, a place under the Navy base, which we asked them)))))

[castle]

Greece is a member of NATO. NATO countries can acquire weapons that suit them best on the international market.
Russia will supply new weapons, repair and modernize old ones, which Greece already has, for example, airborne Zubrs. Russia will begin to implement the deal with Greece after Greece pays the advance. BUT! What money does Greece have ?! All in debt, as in silks. How will you pay off? Olive oil? So they don't produce so much to pay for Russian weapons. Or will they raise the price of oil for Russia? Then the Russians will pay for weapons for Greece, when buying this oil, from their pockets.

[Angry reader]

Ports, seaports, and GTS ...)
Sorry for the immodest question, but is there money in the Czech Republic?)))

[castle]

In the Czech Republic a little money left. Not everything has been stolen yet. The heavy, machine-tool and machine-building industries work, and for export. Businesses pay taxes.
But Greece is unlikely to pay the ports. This is where NATO commitments will not allow. Maybe so go to the raid, get drunk water.

Russia needs naval bases in the Mediterranean!
to rent for 100-150 years ... without Greek jurisdiction

[awg75]

honestly, I don’t think that the Greeks, with complete stagnation in the economy, will be able to spend some serious money on weapons, and if they try, then pedoEurope will quickly remind them of debt receipts and send all the Democrats to the big dad

This does not mean that contracts will be signed tomorrow.
Everything is designed for the future, and the arms contracts themselves are most often prepared from a year or more.

[Robert Nevsky]

Cleverly do the Greeks. They are bankrupt, but still gives money for defense.

[castle]

If there is no money, then how can they be given for defense? This then badly affects the health of the government, and the state may cease to exist. And to use other people's money for their purchases, and then also not to repay the debt? After all, they can put a hot iron on their faces.

[Gakkoga]

The Greeks are doing everything right, since the weapons of the NATO "allies" may not fire at the right time if they decide to leave the European Union.

[samoletil18]

Does Greece have money? Although, if from the EU to the CU, then something needs to be reinforced by one’s desires, and better not with NATO weapons. Then Russia and put on credit a blessing, at least so to the geopolitical adversary. Only what will be delivered?

[castle]

From EU to CU? Turkey will be delighted! Many times in conflict with Greece. Greece and Turkey are kept in NATO in different angles, as in a boxing ring. And here is such a gift for Turkey, Greece, they say, gathered in the vehicle. While the changeover passes, the Turks from the Acropolis will make their minaret.

They will sign it now. anything. On credit. Like in a car dealership. With a bare booty, but on a Mercedes.

"The Americans were informed of Russia's request and made it clear to the Cypriot government that they strongly disagree. When the Cypriot government reminded the US that Russia has consistently supported Cyprus on security and financial issues, the US said that" Cyprus is also under American influence. "
