The Law 4650/2019 drafted by the Ministry of National Defense was recently voted on by the Greek Parliament.
The upgrade will cost $279 million and according to the Ministry of National Defense and the Greek Defense Industry, it is a necessary measure for protecting the country’s essential interests.
The U.S. company will also supply information and continuous technical support for the operational autonomy of Greece’s F-16 fleet and expand its operational capability.
