well anyway Cyprus has no defence plans I think, at least for major weapon systems like fighters or vessels etc. The money spent for weapons are too little especialy since it became an EU member. The “golden era” when T-80U, Mi-35, BMP-3, S-300PMU-1 has passed, possibly for ever…
Are the 50+10 F16 blk52+ equiped with Link16?
No they don’t! only the new 30 will. Anyway, I think there are some thoughts of integrating link16 to those also…
RF-4E still flying!!!! 😀
F-4E AUP is a very capable aircraft. There are only 35. AIM-120B, IRIS-T, Litening II ,Paveways, Maverick, AFDS and the new stand off weapons (Spice, Longshot) HAF plans to buy are going to increase it’s operational value. I think the great pull back for the programe was the denial of USA exporting the AGM-130 for use with Pantoms…
The problems with the EMB-145 continue and there are some thoughts not to accept them at all!!!!! I hope it is not again a matter of money for all these “problems” like with the M 2k-5s…… :confused:
Sad news! especialy when the certainly superior THK’s programe continues…
Does anyone have information about the progress with the problems came up with the C-27J and the EMB-145H AEW&C ?

The ceremony of the rising of the flag for KRYSTALIDHS (P-69) which is the third “SUPER VITA” Class boat took place at the Eleusis Ship yards today (8 May 2006) on 12.00 (Gr Time).
GRIGOROPOYLOS (P-70) + (1) to go…!
well within some years from now thousands of F-16s all over the world are going to be for sale propably in very low prices. The same goes with MiG-29s, etc. So why bother with some low perfomance (de)modernizationed dinosaurs like F-5 or F-20 ?
wow, great Hangar camouflage!!! nice pictures luisdo !
Oh not to forget some great F-16 block 52+ pics from the formal HAF website (http://www.haf.gr). 😀
here are some samples.
