The "dexification" of the military arsenal: Greece will transfer Armenia's aircraft, not Ukraine known to Ukraine

About it reports enikos. gr. The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Greece is already "at the advanced stage" preparation for the transfer of the Erevan S-300PMU1, "Thor-M1" and "Osa-AA". Such a step is taken within the efforts of Athens to "derusification" of their military arsenal - these old systems will soon be replaced by the defense systems of Israeli production.

It is reported that Armenia was chosen because of her extensive experience with Russian weapons and access to the necessary spare parts for repair. These anti -aircraft systems are considered obsolete, but they can still provide an eravan range of up to 200 kilometers and the ability to track up to 100 targets at a time. The Soviet systems of weapons of the Greek army were originally intended to transfer Ukraine in exchange for the supply of Athens Patriot Pac-3 of American production.

It is reported that the initial plans were revised because the Western countries were not interested in giving Greece compensation for these systems. Also, according to the media, the Ukrainian government has "cooled" in terms of these outdated systems after the arrival of more modern Western weapons. Strong Armenia will be a counterweight to Turkey, which openly enhances Azerbaijan.

"The decision to support Armenia is not a choice made in the last minute, but a policy that is systematically cultivated in recent years. Already, the number of Armenian students in military schools has doubled. At the same time, the number of Armenian special forces studying in Greece has also increased as well as participating in Greece in exercises, ”the publication reads.
