I hope you are right in all accounts….we will just have to wait and see…
Btw, to return to your initial thread subject, how about some L class ships from Holland? I believe there are even a lot of common parts with the S class vessels we ‘ve got. I think there may be some available in a couple of years (any new ship won’t be available for at least 4-5 years after the contracts are signed).

There is some talk for a new frigate type ship that will replace the canseled frigate-corvete plan. The ship must have enhanced area A/A capabilities to support the fleet. So far though, nothing is official and the way the new D.M. is functioning along with the cooking in the accounting processes, I doubt there will be any new ship purchase for some years to come… 🙁
Once again the Hellenic Armed Forces came close to achieve a level of equilibrium with the relevant Turkish forces and once again due to political inactivity, we will lose it big time. (No new ships, no new planes, actually not anything was orderd for 2004 and hardly anything will be ordered in 2005, because if ordered it has to be accounted for inside 2005 and there are no money left………..)

Wish list

I wonder if anyone can find me some photos (color would be great) of the duster planes flown by Croatia during the war of 1991, with the camouflage applied during that time. I allready have some photos found in the Insignia Magazine but I am looking for more info. The planes were PZL M18 Dromader, PA25 Piper Pawnee and Cessna 188 Agtrucks.
Thank you.

Question over roundel

Does anyone know which country’s airforce uses the light blue reversed triangle with a star in the middle as a roundel for its airforce? I saw the picture of a Strikemaster (?) with this roundel in the Small airforces pics — Part I and can not figure out the country. Is it Djibuti?

Greek load for the Zubrs

Guys from what I have seen in recent exercises of the Hellenic Armed Forces, the usual load for the Zubrs is :
1 Leo 1A5
2 M113A1s and 2-4 HUMVEEs along with a company of Marines.

There are 3 Zubrs bought from Russia and 1 from Ukraine. The second Zubr from Ukraine was never accepted due to technical problems and thus there was the 3rd ship ordered from Russia. In fact, the ship from Russia was given the same name as the rejected ship from Ukraine (PTM Kerkyra).
