Kansei tells you that what you are doing is being threatened all the time in different ways. Every time you want to grab something, you are against the logic that there can be peaceful coexistence between the two states!
We are not a nation surrounded by the sea! You are probably confusing Greece with Great Britain. Greece is a state that has continental and archipelago territory.
Obviously there is no legal transnational commitment. However, i do not think that there is anything that could invalidate this agreement. It is an agreement that has the consent of all the great western powers.
Not one contract will be signed but many. There are many French companies involved in this agreement and signing contracts takes time. However, this does not change the delivery schedule of the warships. By 2026, 7 frigates must have been delivered.
I'm not afraid of something that does not even exist! However, the 8 destroyers TF2000 will have weapons systems that are impossible to deal with by the Greek Navy. The worst weapon system of this particular warship, where i have said it many times, is not the G-40 surface-to-air missile, nor...
I think it is to be expected that Turkey will shorten its armaments program or enrich it with a new number of warships. Nobody thinks that Turkey will leave such a move unanswered! The agreement between Greece and France was very good as we got the warships at an incredible price. The United...
The agreement for the armament of Gowind class light frigates was also finalized.
The 4 light frigates of class Gowind will finally cost 1.6 billion euros with the whole package (armament, training, infrastructure, etc.) while they will be built in France. The ships selected are a new category...
The autoloader system i think will be the most difficult part of development and design for an unmanned towed howitzer, Turkey may have taken steps to develop unmanned platforms (air, sea and ground) but here we are talking about an unmanned weapons system which no country still possesses...
The total price would have made little difference if the SCALP Naval (MDCN) cruise missiles with the Sylver A70 launchers had been included in the package. The reason for not acquiring them was purely geopolitical and not economic. MBDA is the copyright holder of this cruise missile. MBDA owns...
Thanks for the clarification.
However, in the first image it looks like a Towed howitzer UGV. It would not be a bad idea to develop such a weapon system. Only the British are developing, as far as i know, an unmanned Towed howitzer...
The Belh@rra Helleniques frigates will most likely not have the SCALP Naval cruise missile (MDCN), this cruise missile has a range of 1000 km. This option would require the Sylver A70 launcher instead of the Sylver A50 launcher carrying Aster 30 missiles. The Sylver A70 launcher could also...
I will write my opinion on the defense agreement between Greece and France but also what it offers according to what has been published.
We are talking about an agreement worth 5 billion euros, which includes a defense agreement between the two countries. The wartime defense agreement is...
You are not able to make suggestions about the sovereign rights of Greece! The sovereign rights of Greece in the islands is the extension of its territorial waters to 12 nautical miles. The territorial waters of the Aegean islands at 6 nautical miles rightly remain as the free passage of...
It is not my culture to applaud states like the US that invade third countries for geopolitical and economic interests. All the big countries that feel strong and powerful behave in the same way. What exactly does it mean that states behave this way? Because this is how the great powers operate...
Both countries operate with the same logic, which is why you have close diplomatic relations. As Turkey invaded Cyprus in 1974, so did Russia invade Crimea in 2014. Turkey had no right to invade a third state, Archbishop Makarios was smart enough to keep the Republic of Cyprus united. Besides...
If the Aprilian junta had not tried to stage a coup in Cyprus against Makarios, everything would have been different. Makarios was not "weak", he was simply betrayed by all those who wanted to exploit Cyprus geopolitically. It was Great Britain, the USA, Greece and Turkey that jointly planned...
Article 6 of the Treaty of Lausanne does not speak of islands with territorial waters of 3 nautical miles but that islands and islets located three miles from the coast are included in the borders of the coastal state. The only island that actually has these requirements and then was part of...
