PARIS, Sept 1 (Reuters) – European aerospace group EADS said on Monday that Greece had placed an order for 20 NH90 transport helicopters and taken out options on an additional 14.
EADS has a 62.5 percent stake in the NH90 programme via its helicopter unit Eurocopter.

In November, Greece announced that it would buy about 40 of the helicopters.

No value for the deal was given, but based on figures given by the Greek government late last year, it is worth around 330 million euros, excluding the options.

Soon they will be training with the real thing, not just this mock-up.
