part1 Fotolivos1- part2 George Greek- part3 Nemesis hd | Hellenic Nation ,in the form of cities-states ,throughout the centuries of its existance,going back in time for at least 10 millenia,had to preserve strong armed forces in order to survive ,push back and defeat numerous ethnicities who wanted to occupie the strategically positioned,Greek territory.The Greek colonies spread all over the Mediterranean and Black Sea had to act accordingly.The cause was just:To protect Motherland,our homes,dignity and sacred places.It was the period when the greatest civilization ever on the planet ,was created!!!The Hellenic Civilization!!!Years passed,No matter how strong the enemy was,the Greeks always found the way to stop it...The military equipment evolved,but the core of defence remains the same all the time...It is the human factor...Today ,Greece is a member of all international organisations and guarantees the stability,security and democracy in a region set on fire all around!!Greece holds the keys of EU and NATO for the countries of western Balkans,a strategic depth for the Greek interests and foreign policy.Despite the severe economic crisis,the Hellenic Armed Forces,hold the capability to protect the country,sending at the same time a message of power and determination to friends and foes.Less money ,doesn`t mean less operational capabilities.The weapon systems that the country has,are more than enough to deter anyone who tries to challenge it...With high availabilities,maintenance,logistical support and training,the equipment is satisfactory.In the air,the program of upgrading F-16 fleet with AESA radar plus sensors and stand off ammo,along with possible purchase of the Arabic Mirage-2000-9,promises air dominance over the Aegean and eastern Mediterranean for the visible future....along with installing link-16 to all units ,a digital network will be formed,,giving the command ,real time info.Erieye AWACS plus HELIOS satellite images give the Armed Forces,unpresedented capabilities!!In the sea,the MLU program for MEKO-HN ,is probably the heart of modernization of the fleet...The entrance in service of AIP submarines and the rest of Super Vita FACs,the upgrading of the rest of FACs with latest missile weaponry and P-3B planes create a very complex environment in the Aegean for the potential agressor....On land,tanks` number is enough for the time being.Putting M48A5 MOLF out of service should be of no question,at the same time bringing back in service a fleet of 400 M-60s installing on them the MOLF FCS taken from the previous tanks.New rifle is not an immediate need...In fact the opposite counts..G-3 is a very good rifle..Great attention must be paid to the infantry material equipment!!!The adjustment of heavy machine guns on existing APCs ,gives a dramatic increase of firepower with almost zero cost.Anti-tank missiles promise complete destruction of any armoured vehicle and they are in large numbers in the arsenal..No need to talk about missile air defence...it`s the thickest according to the size of the country`s airspace,in the world.Nothing can go through it.That simple!!Air lifting capabilities will be improved in the near future with the purchase of extra Chinooks,the delivery of all NH-90 and possibly a number of UH-60L choppers.The fleet of Apaches will destroy enemy targets and other facilities in no time.The ideas are many with extremely low cost solutions, which will boost the abilities of the Armed Forces.Huge effort must be given to the Special Forces...They are the cornerstone of the army.....the best materials and training,for these elite troops!!!All Greece needs now is social unity,high moral,good training,support for the weapons and determination to use raw force if needed!!!It`s a promise and an oath to the ancestors :We the descendants of those glorious Greeks,will never take not even a step back no matter what.Hellenic Armed Forces guarantee that....Description:Constantine Moutzouroulias
