Super Vita's comissioned in the Hellenic Navy !!
New missile boat commissioned in Greece
ATHENS, Dec. 20 (Xinhuanet) -- A new missile boat was commissioned on Tuesday for active duty in Greece's navy forces.
The combat vessel "Roussen" is named after WWII submariner Lt.-Cdr. Roussen, the skipper of the Greek U-boat "Papanikolis" (Y-2),who was killed in action on April 22, 1944.
Additionally, an under-construction missile boat at the Elefsina shipyard was christened as the "Grigoropoulos" by 2004 Olympic gold medalist in the 20km walk and reserve naval officer Athanasia Tsoumeleka.
The vessel is named after Lt. Grigoropoulos, a high-ranking officer on the WWII destroyer "Queen Olga" (D-15), who died in action on Sept. 26, 1943.
Deputy Defence Minister Vassilis Mihaloliakos represented the government at the ceremonies. Enditem

I liked the Combattante V better. God knows why we gave the contract to the brits when we had the experience with the Combattante II, IIIA & IIIB boats. The V also has stealth features that are absent from the Super Vita. I don't profess to being a naval expert-just my 2 (euro) cents...

Thanks for pictures! Any more pictures T-80U/UK?
Here you Go!
T-80U Cypriot National Guard!
The SA-8B Gecko (NATO Term) for OSA AK were from the former East German Army. (As well, as the BMP-1 and RM-70's used by the Greeks!) Odd, that NATO, would allow another NATO country to use former Warsaw Pact vehicels?
I see Greece also has SA-10 Grumble (S-300) and SA-15 Gauntlet SAM's as well. Hhhhmmm.
Nice Greek HMMWV's with Russian AT-14 (Kornet) ATGM!! When the heck did they get thoses!!??
The Hummers are produced in Greece and they are called M-1114GR the Armour is constructed by an israeli company called Plasan.
The Kornet-E missile Greece has bought it from Russia.
I thing the combination of this two systems (American+Russian) is perfect!
