We can produce pretty much everything under license, from frigates and submarines to tanks, armored vehicles and firearms. We also have developed further some foreign designs and ended up with systems such as the Leonidas II APC. Then again we also have some projects that were designed...

India doesn't need anything. Pakistan doesn't even have attack helicopters in its Air Force and when it comes to its Army's Air Corps it only has some ancient Cobra helicopters that will easily be countered by the Rudras and the LCHs that are expected to arrive soon. I don't see why the Mi-35s...

Asking for NATO to defend us would equal asking Turkey to protect us from itself. NATO can defend us from Russia I guess (as if Russia would go after us). I think that with small improvements here and there, until the economy is strong enough to seriously consider large programs that we've put...

Boeing has been given the go ahead to sell 10 CH-47 Chinook heavy lift helicopters to Greece, the US Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) announced on 11 December. Greece requested and the US State Department approved the sale of up to 10 D-model Chinooks and supporting equipment for a...

4 Hydra class frigates: 8 Harpoons on 2 Mk 141 launchers, 16 ESSMs on one Mk 48 VLS (Mod 2) and 6 torpedo tubes on two Mark 32 torpedo launchers with Mark 46 (Mode 5) torpedoes. 9 Elli class frigates: 8 Harpoons on 2 Mk 141 launchers, 8 Sea Sparrow missiles (RIM-7M) on a Mk 29 launcher and 6...

Really? Not Mk.13?

France first, UK second.

This is block 9 we're talking about. Cyprus has given ENI the rights to explore the block for gas and oil because it rests within its exclusive economic zone but Turkey argues against it since it would fall within the exclusive economic zone of Northern Cyprus. That's where the dispute arises...

Mhm, you got 67 M109A5 in 2008 and 48 more in 2010. They are really good artillery pieces. We have 12 of them as well.

7%, not 20%.

That's correct. With the agreement of the Iraqi govt. There is no agreement with Assad in arming the PYD or any Kurdish group acting in Syria. The ammunition is used in AK-47 rifles that are not being used by the Greek army and have being confiscated. Which means that this operation will have...

It's bullets for AK-47 rifles that have being confiscated by the Greek authorities, since the Greek army doesn't use the same ammunition that the Kurds do.

Basically yea, Samaras wants to stay in office. Truth is that taxes will be lowered either way, either it's Samaras who wants to do it to win the next elections or it's SYRIZA (radical left wing) who believes that taxes have to go down to boost growth.

My point being that all settlers in occupied territories are there illegally and their deportation has to be included in any peace plan. Israel got its settlements out of Gaza and they should do the same in the West Bank. As should Turkey in Cyprus. And just to point out something about the...

I assume that this is exactly the same sympathy that you will show towards the Israeli settlers in the West Bank?

Draghi the revolutionary. xD Germany still ain't got the message.

We can only hope that the ceasefire remains and that the EU won't impose any new sanctions. Maybe the rebels agree on a plan and then elections will be held normally near the end of the year If the ceasefire breaks on the side of the rebels, the EU will impose more sanctions on leaders of the...

The French can always deliver it to Russia at another date depending on how the situation in Ukraine plays out. If they decide to cancel the deal permanently they'll just have to pay back the money that they have received plus a penalty. It's up to them.

We swear to never let a junta rule over Greece again. :angel: That being said, I was a bit disappointed because I remember Erdogan recently saying some stuff about a two-states solution that sounded really discouraging to those who hope to see Cyprus united and independent again.

Not that surprising as China generally supports us and protects our interests. Not that Greeks particularly care about the tensions between China and the US.
