GREECE SEES F-35 AS ‘VIPER’ REPLACEMENT

An HAF F-16C Block 52+ over the Mediterranean. The HAF still has some 153 Fighting Falcons on strength, including earlier F-16C/D Block 30 and Block 50 aircraft that are excluded from the F-16V upgrade program. Some of these older airframes may receive equipment sourced from the upgraded platforms. USAF/SrA Tenley Long GREECE IS CONSIDERING the acquisition of 25-30 F-35As to replace the Hellenic Air Force’s (HAF’s) oldest 23 F-16C/D Block 30 jets in service with 330 Mira at Nea Anchialos
